I'm asking about your favorite restaurant at home.
-
"We always pay gratuities up front" Do you tip several months in advance of a meal at the restaurant?
-
The point is that Viking's use of the term is deceptive and misleading. Viking knows this but they get away with it. That's dishonesty and blows the "no nickel & diming" claim out of the water. It's clear that when you pay "gratuities" what you are really doing is contributing to Viking's payroll fund. They really need to be upfront and just do as so many suggest.

Am I the only one here who recognizes the absurdity of "pre-pay gratuities"? Now ----- if they said "pre-pay service charges" ------------------------------------

You don't "have to" pay them.

Your government in action.

Be upfront about "gratuities" perhaps beginning with the fact that they aren't really gratuities.

You can probably persuade your cabin guy to bring some lime wedges with the ice.

You can always get whatever you want regardless of how it's paid for.

Limited.

We were in 8000 recently. Same deal one deck up. Nice quiet corridor. I'd probably prefer closer to the elevators next time. High up and far forward = more motion.

And once provided unlikely to be accurate. Our "final" paperwork had us departing one port two days in a row and being on an excursioin at 1 pm while the ship sailed away at noon.

No wine except the initial bubly which is not replenished. Two cans of beer (Carlsburg). Bacardi rum and Dewars? scotch. You can mix and match. We would opt for two gin and two rum.

It pays to plan ahead.

Living Room.

Not to mention showing off the nails!

Why wouldn't the Viking rep extend some OBC? They are saving commissions.

On our recent Homelands alll booking opportunities opened at the same time. There was no advantage to our PS1 booking.

If there was 95% of businesses on the planet would be in violation.

So ----- Viking will not be able to get away with bilge coolie wages for service staff?
