Tipping at Dine with Shamu

Sorry I know it must have been asked before but I can't find anything thats recent. How much do you give your sever when you leave Dine with Shamu, last time I think I give her $20 but all she done was bring our drinks then cleared the table

I think we tipped $10 for the two of us,I didn't see anyone sat near us leaving anything though.🤔

from what i remember when we did Dine with Shamu last year, they leave a little tray out at the end for tips - i think we also tipped $10 for 2 of us. as its already prepaid, hard to judge, but she was nice and good with refills and bringing us cakes swiftly!

Well we�re a family of 7 so would $30 be okay ? 😏

I think I remember they brought out a tray with some guilt trip message on it about how they enjoyed serving you and it's customary to tip, or something along those lines

I think we tipped $5 for 2 of us back in 2015, I mean, the meal is only $30 now, so a 10% tip would be $3-4pp once you factor in tax. I guess it depends on your server and how good they are at getting drinks for you etc.

Yes I seem to remember last time about the thank you note, and the subtle little way of reminding you about leaving a tip

Sorry we didn't tip, the food was cold and a lack of it, also our drinks came out after we had eaten
