adwo41 Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Sailing on Anthem TA in May 2022 without a drinks package. Not a big enough drinker, but I do like a glass of wine before bedtime as a nightcap. Maybe two. Helps me sleep. So, I was planning on using the Vintages wine dispensers, which serve 5 oz glasses. My question is: when you tap/swipe at the dispensers, are you charged the 18% gratuity, even though you did all the work yourself? Just asking.

JLMoran Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Hi @adwo41, welcome to the forums! I haven't used the dispensers myself, but I know that the Bionic Bar on Anthem charges the gratuity as it covers the staff regularly cleaning and restocking everything. I would imagine that the wine dispensers will be the same, since those also have to be cleaned regularly as well as restocked.

emmef Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Just carry on two bottles of wine when you board the ship and keep them in your stateroom. Nightcap assured! Baked Alaska 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adwo41 Posted June 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 JL, I certainly understand that the gratuity is to cover dispenser maintenance. That's only fair. Unfortunately, emmef, on an 11-day TA, I'll probably need the dispensers too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
