Oops, I meant they should not be penalized when we DON'T.Yes, absolutely. It is our choice not to eat in the MDR any given evening, but they should not be penalized when we do. That's my opinion, at least.
i agree and the tips are automatic, DCL is going to charge you at the end of the cruise.
You are assigned servers that are there to "serve" you while on the ship. If you dont go to dinner, they dont get to go home and they make a living from those tips.
tips can be adjusted manually..
they don't get to go home?! HUH?!?!?! Maybe you were using hyperbole for to make a dramatic point and I am too dense to get it.............

Definitely yes!I'm just curious what other people do. If you don't eat in the main restaurant every night do you still tip them the nights you are not there?

I really appreciate all of the feedback. My family does pay even if we don't partake. I just wasn't sure what others do. OK, just to put a spin. They are not serving you if you are not there. Would you be OK if you only gave a portion of a tip instead of the whole thing on the days you weren't there?
I don't think you're getting it. Even though the tip is for your dinner servers, it covers all meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Even you don't get your specific server in Cabanas (for example) for breakfast, or serving you your hot dog on the pool deck, the "dinner" servers also work those locations. Your tip covers all meals. Are you planning on not eating anywhere onboard?I really appreciate all of the feedback. My family does pay even if we don't partake. I just wasn't sure what others do.
