jagbirder Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 We decided to celebrate the first night of our first ever cruise by making reservations for dinner at Chops Grille. My question concerns tipping the wait staff. Does the $35 upcharge include the gratuity, or does it come out of the pot of tips we have already prepaid? I guess I'm asking if I need to leave an additional tip, or has it been taken care of in advance? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arebee Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 It includes the gratuity but they will bring you a receipt at the end in case you want to lay a few more bucks on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 In the past, the grats have always been included in the cover charge but I have read that, on some ships, they have started adding a separate gratuity on top of the cover charge. The exception to this seems to be dining that is part of a prepaid dining package. I would definitely ask before booking the reservations if you will be charged grats on top of the $35.
