So on my way to work this morning I listened to a DU Youtube video for first time cruisers. I've done DCL 2 times, but now I'm confused. I have a feeling I over tipped.
DU explained that gratuity already comes included on certain charges. Well, everytime I went to the bar or bought a drink by the pool (for example) I would tip. I just signed the receipt, and was on my way. Little did I know that a gratuity was already included.
My question is this: What would have happened if I hadnt tipped them? They would still get that automatic tip right? For my next cruise, do I have to tip since they are already given a gratuity? Obviously, if I feel they deserve more, I will give a little extra.
I did the same thing with the Spa. Went to get a pedicure and just tipped. I didnt know gratuity was already included.
You all must think I'm rich. I'm not, but was on vaca-mode, so really didnt care about anything other than relaxing! My husband will kill me if he finds out. I visited the bar ALOT...on both cruises!
