[QUOTE="foghorn918, post: 4224153, member: 11059"] We pre-paid gratuity on both cruises we've been on, but then we still tipped our cabin steward and dining staff in cash at the end of the cruise. We're not drinkers, so didn't deal with bartenders or club servers. Formal dining doesn't seem to mean much anymore, we saw people dressed up, ladies in nice evening wear, men in suits to people wearing shorts, jeans, and button down shirts. Big variety. We went kind of in the middle. We chose slacks, button down shirt, and a tie for us guys on formal night - no jackets. The other nights just slacks and button down shirt. The ladies took a black dress for the formal night or two and slacks for the other nights. We did get some nice photos of us and our group on the formal nights from the ship cruise staff, for purchase of course. Watch for photo package pricing specials, especially before your cruise. Check out what port excursions you're interested in ahead of time and book them before the cruise if you can, most are cheaper when you pre-book. Some will be sold out before you even set foot on the ship. We've been on a 7 night Caribbean cruise and a 7 night Alaskan cruise, both on Royal Caribbean cruise line. [/QUOTE]
