Rare Lois R Posted April 2, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted April 2, 2004 hi girls...how could I do that?.... There's gotta be a trustworthy person sailing her soon. I would do it myself...but...don't think my boss would take too kindly to me leaving again so soon [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img].

ecowen Posted April 2, 2004 #7 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Don't be so hard on yourself. The wine steward gets a 15% tip on every bottle he sells. So if you had 2 $30 bottles every night for 7 nights, he pocketed $63 in tips. Ten customers like you and he's bringing in $603/week, tax free. I must confess that I do usually give the martini bar server an extra $20 at the end of the cruise, but if I forgot I would not fee so guilty!

mromoff Posted April 2, 2004 #8 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Don't forget Lois - they do get a 15% tip on everything you order. So you didn't "stiff" him or anything. I know you would have liked to give him something extra though. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] I am sure someone on the board will be able to help you out.

Rare Lois R Posted April 2, 2004 Author #9 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Hi friends...thanks for making me feel a bit better[img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]. I did forget he got 15% for each bottle...so at least he did receive something. Next time though....I put that $$ along with my other "tip funds"! Next up...HORIZON Sept 18th to Bermuda!

crishsapig Posted April 2, 2004 #15 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Our wine guy was so cool. He didn't charge us the $12 corkage fee for any of the wine we brought. It was one that is on the Mercury menu though. Why don't they add in an envelope for the sommelier? ~Christine Celebrity Mercury October 19, 2003 March 13, 2004 on the Mercury [img]http://escati.linkopp.net/cgi-bin/countdown.cgi?trgb=000000&srgb=00ff00&prgb=da70d6&cdt=2004;3;13;17;00;00&timezone=GMT-0800[/img] October 17, 2004 on the Mercury [img]http://escati.linkopp.net/cgi-bin/countdown.cgi?trgb=000000&srgb=00ff00&prgb=da70d6&cdt=2004;10;17;17;00;00&timezone=GMT-0800[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crishsapig Posted April 2, 2004 #16 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Ahh, the 15%...this is true but so impersonal. Plus we brought half the wine we had him open so that is different too. His name was "Z". Anyone have him recently? How about Tomaz for your waiter? Another awesome waiter. ~Christine Celebrity Mercury October 19, 2003 March 13, 2004 on the Mercury [img]http://escati.linkopp.net/cgi-bin/countdown.cgi?trgb=000000&srgb=00ff00&prgb=da70d6&cdt=2004;3;13;17;00;00&timezone=GMT-0800[/img] October 17, 2004 on the Mercury [img]http://escati.linkopp.net/cgi-bin/countdown.cgi?trgb=000000&srgb=00ff00&prgb=da70d6&cdt=2004;10;17;17;00;00&timezone=GMT-0800[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuggers Posted April 2, 2004 #19 Share Posted April 2, 2004 hey wvu fan, did anyone ever tell you how the 'ooooeee' went on the 3/1 Horizon? Well, we had the words and no one would sing. I finally got up and asked everyone and no one would start so I did it. And believe me, that was not a pretty sight, nor was it tuneful! I think John felt sorry for me he came over and started singing with me and others joined in. At first I think they were just so stunned that that awful sound could come out of a human, but hey, I warned 'em! Anyway, just thought you'd like to know that it was fun!
