Yes, I have successfully removed the prepaid tips (July 2015). The reason being as I only ate in the MDR three times as the service was subpar at best. I went to guest services and asked them to remove all of the prepaid tips. They explained to me that I would receive the credit on the credit card used to pay for the cruise within 7 days after the cruise ended. This did happen. Guest services provided me with a form to fill out where I could leave tips by my desired amount to anybody I desired. I collected business cards from all of the employees who I felt desired a gratuity and subsequently left them tips via the sheet given to me by guest services. This amount was charged to my portfolio on the ship.

Not sure This was my first cruise on RC

Yes For $10 per person you can have a delightful breakfast at Chops We saw it on the compass and walked right in, I believe it was offered 3 times on our 9 day cruise There was an all you can eat buffet that included Jumbo shrimp (the same ones you get at a chops dinner) Lox, bagels, cream cheese Assorted Fresh fruit Assorted cheese Plus other pastries cereals etc Also include is a steak & eggs breakfast, I had mine with s custom omelet plus Fresh squeeze oj Plus one drink (bloody Mary or mimosa) Well worth it

Just got back from LOS 9 night cruise (my first RC) top 5 are: 1. Portofino - amazing food and service 2. Chops for breakfast (not dinner) - well worth the $10 3. Windjammer 4. Johnny Rockets 5. Anything but the MDR (boring and repetitive bland food)

Great, thanx for letting me know, Your husband sounds like me, nice hawaiian shirt with a pair of shorts, I would never wear a cap or t-shirt to dinner, I'll push my luck on formal night and see what happens,

I am cruising in a couple of weeks on RC and I plan to wear nice pressed shorts and a collared buttondown shirt to dinner every night except the nights I have specialty dining reservations. Does anyone know of a specific instance where anyone has been denied entry to the dining room for wearing shorts.
