mrsrosa Posted August 22, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 22, 2012 This is probably a silly questions but thought I would ask it anyways. I am sailing on the Radiance of the Seas out of Vancouver. I usually tip the people who take my bags when I get to the port. I should tip in Canadian because they most likely live in the Vancouver area? Or should I tip in US?

cb at sea Posted August 22, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Either/or....they will take whatever you hand them. Since they aren't ship employees, but dock workers, I'd go with local currency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rewind Posted August 22, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Tip in Canadian dollars - they are worth more at the moment. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kymbakitty Posted August 22, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Tip in Canadian dollars - they are worth more at the moment. :) According to XE.com, it is pretty even: 1.00 CAD=1.00701 USDCanadian Dollar↔US Dollar1 CAD = 1.00701 USD1 USD = 0.993039 CAD ◀Convert againView ChartMid-market rates: 2012-08-22 15:57 UTC But either way, whatever type you have will be glady accepted. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF_Knight Posted August 22, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I don't think it would matter that much either way. The shops in any Canadian city I've visited which was that close to the US border would happily accept either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tip in either CDN or USD. Both are accepted by most people in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erin_cruisers Posted August 22, 2012 #7 Share Posted August 22, 2012 They will happily accept any tip. However, they would be happier to receive a tip in Canadian currency. :) Put the shoe on the other foot. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be aware of that. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
