doone Posted April 22, 2005 #2 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I am usually one person in the cabin and get coffee each morning in my cabin. I tip each morning $1. My parents get coffee in their cabin and tip $2, so about $1 per person I find to be what is generally given. If you get a full breakfast delivered, I would think $2 per person isn't unreasonable. I am sure your tipping was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptData Posted April 22, 2005 #3 Share Posted April 22, 2005 It depends on what you ordered. If alot ie a full breakfast eggs, toast, coffee danish etc for 2 then $3-5 is fine. If you order just coffee/tea and toast then $1-2 is fine. For dinner for two with everything I would give $5.00. This is just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For small orders, I usually give $2.00 - $3.00. If I ordered a whole meal it would be $3.00 - $5.00. I do know some people don't tip at all and others give $1.00 no matter what is brought to them.
