(DINING MANAGER)

The Head Server is the person who handles special orders/requests, special dietary needs, and oversees your Server and Assistant Server. Your Head Server deals directly with the chefs ... so, if there is a problem, the Head Server typically would be the one to get it resolved. Most Head Servers will visit your table once per night. That being said, there are multiple Head Servers in each restaurant. Head Servers report to a single Dining Room Manager.

From my experience, on DCL, there is no need (or option) to tip a Dining Room Manager.

Information from our TA on the new tipping policy:


Due to the success of a pilot program on Disney Magic® and positive feedback from Guests, Disney Cruise Line® is introducing the auto-application of gratuities on all Disney ships.

The process will create a more seamless experience for you by automatically charging folios on embarkation day with the suggested gratuity amounts for the Server, Assistant Server, Head Server and Stateroom Host/Hostess.


Below are the effective dates:
* Disney Dream - Date to be announced
* Disney Fantasy - April 21, 2012
* Disney Magic - Already in place
* Disney Wonder® - April 22, 2012

You can add pre-paid gratuities at the time of booking or when processing your final payment. If the pre-paid gratuities have not been added prior to boarding, you will receive a letter upon check-in explaining the automatic charge to your onboard account. You still have the option to modify or add additional gratuity amounts, or pay in cash, by stopping by the Guest Services Desk onboard.

As a reminder, a 15% gratuity is automatically added to any bar, beverage, wine and deck-service receipt.
