[QUOTE]Originally posted by sbalax: [QB] I checked a couple of websites (Celebrity, RCL, etc.) and the fine print does say that they automatically charge the gratuities but we've found that in actual practice there is plenty of opportunity to opt out. Or to increase or decrease the amount. Gratuities for drinks ARE automatically added to your bill (15%) but I've seen many people who are either quite generous or don't understand the system add more. The same is usually true in the specialty restaurants. The average per person/per day gratuity is $12.00. That covers dining room waiters and their assistants, head waiters and their assistants and cabin attendants and their assistants. They, with the possible exception of head waiters, work very hard. The only time we have given less than the suggested amount was on the 90% American staffed NCLA Pride of Hawai'i (Now Norwegian Jade). I've only once found an employee on Amtrak who could come close to the standard of service we find on cruise ships. I like the gold dollar idea. I'd bet that a lot of those folks still have the coin.
