Bionic Bar, Gratuities and Today's Promotional Email...

Friends,

This morning I received a promotional email concerning a 72 hour sale on new bookings for Anthem.

One of the sections of that email -- which I assume many of you received -- read as follows:

We all know that the on board revenue system automatically adds a gratuity to bar bills to our Seapass accounts. But a plain reading of the email text would indicate that at Bionic, no tips are necessary. That would suggest to me that the on board system would be programmed not to add an automatic gratuity to robotic bartender orders.

But we also know that logic doesn't always work.

I've not yet sailed on Anthem but if you have, can you let me know whether you were charged an automatic gratuity at the Bionic Bar?

And regards to all.

Alan

I don't think many would be happy to be charged 18% to be served by a robot.

The 18% gratuity has been added to the drinks at the bionic bar. All of the tips from the bionic bar have been put into a crew relief fund.
