A former bartender on Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas put it in three words: "We notice everything." One guest found out what that means after he got rude about a quiet warning over sharing his drink package. It ended with a $3,000 bill for drinks.
This video counts down 12 habits at a cruise ship bar, from clicking your fingers at the pool bar to pushing for one more drink at the end of the night, and explains the reason behind each bartender's reaction. It covers the pace an Icon of the Seas lead bartender works at, what Royal Caribbean's and Carnival's drink package rules say about two drinks on one card and about sharing a package, the $15 corkage fee for wine opened at a bar, what the automatic 18% gratuity on drinks actually pays, the drinking ages that matter on a family cruise, the rules on crew socializing with guests, and why the bartender is the person who has to say no.
Drink package rules, fees and drinking ages vary by cruise line and sailing, and they change, so check your own line's current terms before you sail. The Oasis bartender's figures and story are his own account from a Reddit Q&A, as reported by Royal Caribbean Blog.
