Tipping Question

deanozzi · May 2012

Just a refresher, I am getting married on Carnival Cruise Lines. They have already included gratuity in the amount that we are paying per guest. Should we still provide an additional tip to the maitre d?

Not sure about that one. Im curious to know tipping etiquette for an all inclusive resort. I would prefer not to carry wads of cash around the entire time. Can I just leave a tip for everyone at the end of our stay?

You don't tip. It's included.

Yay! Thanks a bunch!

I honestly hate when people tip the maitre d. He just stands there looking pretty and makes more money than all the waiters and waitresses. Unless he broke up a fight or made a REALLY annoying table next to you leave then they didn't do anything for you.

Yeah, I think the standard line on cruises is as long as you have the automatic gratuity selected, you're aces. It's not expected that you tip extra unless someone goes way above and beyond.

I am getting married on the Carnival too. No tip.

A lot of my vendors charge a pretty hefty service fee...do we need to tip on top of that ?? NOt really sure what to do there.
