But to answer your question - the answer is they have not changed (at least for the 7 night cruises)
Good idea posting the link.
Although the recommendations have not changed for the server, asst. server, etc., they've added several more lines:
Palo -- Gratuity included
Vista Spa & Salon -- Your Discretion
Babysitting -- Gratuity not expected
Shore Excursions -- Optional; not included in shore excursion price
The really interesting line is that DCL is now saying that for Palo, the gratuity is included. There's been all sorts of discussion on this forum about how much to tip above $10 per per person Dining Option Fee -- with some folks taking the position that none of the Dining Option Fee goes to the Palo service staff.
If we again get the same great service at Palo that we've gotten in the past, I'll add an additional tip -- but I'll start with the understanding that the basic Palo gratuity is covered according to DCL.
