Meal tips were really akward. I much prefer handling it at the end of the cruise. Mostly we left the tip on with the server (when they deserved it). Like a lot of other people we were not even aware of the change for several days.

We only went to the resteraunts three or 4 times. The first time we not even aware of the change so we didn't leave a tip. Felt bad later, but they service was not that great. One other time it was so bad we didn't leave a tip intentionally. The other times we had good waiter and gave him the tip directly.

There official statement and guidelines was very confusing. It was something like this:
We are no longer applying the $10 service change... If you fell like one of the crew has provided excellent service feel free to tip using the same guidelines as for land based service.

They also did not automatically apply the gratuity on the bar service.
