If you are talking about the tip for alcohol, that is automatic everywhere on DCL, but it is not 33%, it is 15% so it should have been about $6.75 for a $45 bottle of wine. Not sure if you were on the classic or new ships, but that is one of the reasons we prefer the new ship's concierge lounge with the free drink before dinner.. we would just get a nice glass of wine then.
I agree - we prepaid our tips (then added as appropriate), but nothing for concierge. We filled that in on the form the second to last night. I just put a set amount that I thought was fair for the extra service we received.
