How much should I tip at the alternative dining restaurants (Tuscan Grille, Qsine, Murano) on the Celebrity Eclipse? First, bear in mind that all alcoholic beverages that you pay for will have a gratuity added. The cover charge does include gratuity, however, you may wish to consider giving an extra gratuity to the waiter or waitress who has served you. An appropriate amount is to estimate the value of the meal you ordered if you ordered it on land and tip 15-20% based on that cost. If you feel that the value of the meal was 50 USD were you to order it in a land-based restaurant, you should tip 7.50- 10 USD. It is certainly your discretion not to tip, but the waiters serving you are some of the best on the ship and should be rewarded if they provided you with an exceptional dining experience.
