Celebrity Summit Q
I was wondering what are the tipping policies for alternate dining. Are
gratuities included with the charge or is that separate? And if it is separate, how much should be left? Thanks in advance 11 more days! |

We did alt dining once last trip and the tips were separte because you
do not have your main dining waiters in the alt dining. On 19 Apr 2004 12:23:27 GMT, (BilliamT64) wrote: I was wondering what are the tipping policies for alternate dining.

Celebrity Summit Q
Alt or alternative dining on the Summit usually refers to the specialty
dining room on the ship, that has a $25 per person charge. It is so very much worth the money, you should check it out. The other places to dine other than the main dining room are considered by a very few as an alternate dining place, but really are other places that you can get a hamburg, pizza, pasta and things like that. There is another place that requires reservations, and is casual dining. No extra charge for this place, but it does get quite busy and sometimes very difficult to get reservations. Whatever you do, don't miss out on a super great meal at the specialty dining room. Don't know it's name on the Summit, but it is the Olympic on the Millennium, and Ocean Liner on the Constellation. Have a Great Cruise! We leave this Saturday on the Constellation. Pat Duck wrote: On Mon, 19 Apr 2004 14:25:04 -0700, (Edward Bagnaschi) wrote: what is alt dining? is that the classy dining?

Alt=alternayive dining, some like to est there so they do not have to dress up for that night or their excursion got back at a late time and did not want to rush to early dining. Alternative dining is included with your cruise. |

Celebrity Summit Q
For alternate dining:
1. Casual dining in the Waterfall Cafe - at night they have table service dining in the waterfall cafe. This is the casual alternative for those not wanting to go to the dining room for any reason. There was a recommended tip, but I don't recall what it was. 2. Specialty Dining at the Normandy - this is a very extravagant dining room with a $25PP charge. I was told that the upcharge covers gratuities but that we could add extra to the billing if we wished. 3. Other there is a Sushi cafe from 6PM to?? every night, cage style so no tipping, there is also a pizza and pasta bar open all evening and late into the night every day, again cafe style so no tipping. I also heard, but didn't try, that you could get the full dining room menu from room service during dinner hours. I always tip a couple dollars for room service delivery, but that's a personal choice. 4. There are two late night buffets: an outdoor one on Caribbean night and a "grand" buffet at midnight on of the last few nights of the cruise. Hope you have fun! It's been two weeks since our cruise ended and we're still in post cruise depression wishing we were back on the Summit. It was a GREAT cruise!!!! "BilliamT64" wrote in message ...
