Even on the cruises that you pre-tip I always find that if you develop a little rapport with the waiter...you kind of let him; know that if you take care of me-I'll take care of you; well...usually you'll get those extra nice deserts and those additional lobster tails. Most of the one's that I've met who have a little sense of humor appreciate the by-play and the extra cash at the end of the cruise. =twocents :wave
