Remove Pre pay gratuity

[Tad4irsh]

If you're unhappy with the service' date=' go to the passenger desk and tell them about that...but not to remove the auto-gratuities, but to get the matter resolved. For example, if you feel your cabin steward isn't taking care to clean your cabin everyday, the supervisor can have a talk with him/her. But remember to be reasonable -- that you share your cabin steward with others and that you share your waitstaff with other tables, so any request you make may not be handled in two seconds.[/quote']

 

Cruisn chick -- VERY good point...I didn't mean to sound so glib about that portion of it - I didn't get the right point across, but you are absolutely right...I should take steps to try and resolve the matter FIRST, before I resort to a drastic step like taking away those tips because they are "supposedly" shared among all the staff.

 

Thanks for keeping me honest!!! :) You rock!

I'm on RC, assigned dining. I have no plans to ever eat in the MDR. I understand RC charges X amount per day per person. Does that just go on my cc that I registered with, or do I settle up in the end? Really I would prefer to only tip my room staff, but will go with the flow I guess.

Are you saying you will only eat ashore during the cruise? I am guessing you plan to eat in other places rather than the MDR. Waitstaff in the buffet and other venues are covered by the autotip.

Didn't realize that. Yes, will be doing buffet. I remember on a cruise YEARS ago, I had to go down and settle. Still done, or can I just let the CC roll? I remember the line was long at this banker (forget what it was called) window.

If you have used a credit card to secure your account, there is no need to go to the desk the last night. You will get a copy of your statement the last night for your review. I check mine every few days during the cruise so I can get mistakes corrected before the line gets long.
