Hey Judi !

I saw "The Grill" on our recent trip on the Oosterdam; had it been a longer stay on board we may have dined there. It looked like a great spot (I was mesmerized by the weight of the chairs) We have "Done" the Specialty restaurant on Celebrity and I am sure that the service and food (give or take a duck roast or two) are likley comparable. My point is only that it seems a shame that we have come to the point where it's extra to do this or that and particularly, dine... and then there's the tipping on top or included or whatever it is on the particular cruise line you happen to be on. Celebrity charges more and says you don't have to tip. HAL charges less and it is implyed that you shud. But you have those tips aready on your onboard account ..... or not and then they are pooled...... and/or they're not.
Get my drift.

Here's a tip. Book the Grill on the first night out and it's half price. (On the extra) but I bet you all knew that didn't you.

cheers...
