Creator's Key Takeaways

John said the minimum is $250. I say in order to do that in cash, you have to go to the guest services desk.

John said, nope. 100% not true. They are not doing away with the adult only area.

John said, "Well, of course they can." I think this is stemming because a baseball player's son died in in a hotel room and they think it's because of carbon monoxide.

John said, "Yes, there is a small gratuitity built into the fees for the specialty restaurants, but as always with any restaurant, whether it's at land or at sea, if the service was worthy of an additional gratuitity, leave them an additional gratuitity."

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Link a debit card to your sail and sign account instead of using cash to avoid long lines at guest services.
✓You can bring plugin carbon monoxide detectors on cruises for safety.
✓If you can't finish your meal at a specialty restaurant, you can take leftovers back to your cabin.
✓If service at a specialty restaurant is exceptional, consider leaving an additional tip beyond the built-in gratuity.
