Thank you for the response.

I know that the classic items are in every restaurant but do the menus change at all. For instance, in the Normandy restaurant would the menu be the same each night? Thank you.

My husband had in depth conversations with the head waiter every night and on the last night we asked how many people removed their tips and he responded with an overwhelming "over 1000 people this cruise". It was an Oasis class ship in Sept. and chances are still more were at guest services that night to do the same. Plus the nagging persistence to score everyone a ten on the after cruise survey. If they don't get tens, they don't get their full share of the tip. Our waiters have told us that if there is a problem with the food on the survey that also screws their tip. So the surveys are meaningless and I get so tired of the panicked speeches every cruise to score them with 10's. BUT, the cruise question that asks if anyone discussed the survey with you, answer no. All of this information has come from staff on numerous cruises.
