This port is owned by Norweigan and they should provide at least snakes and water free over there.

No, the tip is already included. If you visit the same bar regularly, an extra tip might be a good idea.

Since the 15-18% mandatory "gratuity" is already included in the price of the program, you are not required to tip additional cash.

You will, however, receive much better service if you pass the bartender a dollar for each drink.

we are sailing in a few weeks and have the drink package of which we prepaid the mandatory gratuity on it, therefore are you still expected to tip the bar tender every time you get a drink?
