Christa2424 Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 I was going to book the soda package and saw that they are adding on 18% gratuity. 18% gratuity on going to fill the cup up yourself??? Am I missing why they would charge gratuities on that? RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same as if you ask for soda in any venue because the Freestyle machines are the only time you fill your cup yourself. But besides that, they tax all food and beverage at 18% tingtang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 The Freestyle machine is not the only way to fill up your cup. Plus not all ships have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll most likely use a bartender for sodas if your ship doesn't have the machine..and even if it does, we hated carrying the cup and still got a lot of sodas from bars.

steverk Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 I agree with OP that the gratuity is excessive on a soda package, but it is what it is. That means, you know the hidden strings. You choice is to either take it or leave it. RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gratuity on Bionic Bar is the one I find most excessive Starrynight0154, WAAAYTOOO, RCIfan1912 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
