Suite tipping protocol - breakfast?

We don't want to do the wrong thing, and have always tipped extra for good service.

What do suite guests do with regard to tipping for breakfast in the specialty restaurants? Every morning, or at the end of the cruise? I know everyone is different when it comes to tipping, just trying to get a feel for what most of you do in this situation.

Never tipped for breakfast, in MDR or specialty restaurant.

Okay, thanks Bob. :)

It is included; you have paid extra for a suite to have that amenity, you also pay more per diem in gratuity to cover those amenities. We have not left additional tips at breakfast.

We were also unsure how the tipping went when we were on our cruise in September. Honestly did not know if the extra gratutity we paid for being in a suite covered the suite services we received for breakfast/lunch. We ended up tipping at the end of the cruise to the waiter who took care of us the majority of the time. We went to Portofino for almost every breakfast, and we also ate in there for several lunches. The staff were really great. We are a large family, and we had a toddler who could make quite a mess. We also tipped the conceirge and the bartender who took care of us in the conceirge "lounge" (actually were in 19th hole). Actually, the services/perks we received for being in a suite really made our vacation.

The two of us always have breakfast in a dedicated suite/pinnacle restaurant and tip $4 each day.

your tips cover all food servers...except room service. as long as you pay the suggested tips, you're covered!

sorry..dup

you don't. it's just like eating in the MDR for breakfast. the daily charge covers it.

the only 'extra' you need to concern yourself with is the Suite/Concierge lounge..the bartender and/or the Concierge is not covered by the daily fee.
