[QUOTE]Originally posted by sbalax: [QB] Smitty-- Vicki and Art are still at sea so I'll take this one. Short reply because I'm doing double duty in the kitchen. Dressing and green bean casserole down, working on mashed potatoes… You can go to Guest Relations to have your gratuities adjusted. I would imagine if you explain that you never ate in the main dining room they would remove those tips (waiter, assistant waiter, assistant maitre d'). I don't know anyone who has cruised this way although I am sure there are those who do. You should be aware that most cruise lines add a 15% gratuity to any beverages you order -- there is no need to tip beyond that unless the service has been exceptional. When we have room service -- usually for breakfast and an occasional lunch -- we usually tip a couple of bucks in cash to whoever brings it. I'm not sure about the "Whole Ship Tours". If that is the bridge, galley, etc. they have always been complimentary on Celebrity and Royal Caribbean. You would sign up at Guest Relations I would think. You will get your ticket for the shore excursion and the meeting place in your cabin fairly soon after you board or the day before at the latest. If not, contact the Shore Excursion desk. If it is a ship's tour they will either hold the ship or get you to the next port. It rarely happens. If you are on your own, you are on your own… We've only seen the latter happen once. About 40 people, including some entertainment staff, decided to take the train on their own into Paris from Le Havre. There was an electrical outage and the roads were jammed with weekend traffic. They were all left behind and had to make their own way to Dover -- luckily not too difficult to do. Their cabins were packed up and bags were waiting at Customs on the pier. Not sure about the entertainers. The Captain (Captain Papanikalau -- a legend at Celebrity) waited as long as he could but he was dealing with tides and a time certain arrival and departure from Dover.
