GatorMomInNC Posted July 3, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I'm on my first HAL cruise and having a great time (Veendam Canadian cruise). Sitting in a pub in Charlottetown PEI having a cider and using my international plan/minutes to access the Internet on my I pad while drinking a Strongbow. My younger son (6 yo) LOVES. Club HAL and insisted on staying in the club all day vs getting off the ship! Thus, the cider/ pub etc. ;) Here's my question- do I tip the HAL Club counselors, or should I buy them a gift in port? I didn't realize how great they would be and didn't research this beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted July 3, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Should you wish to tip, that is always MOST appreciated. They don't have room for trinkets, souvenirs and the like and food is risky as you don't know particular diets or possible allergies etc Cash always fits and is lightweight. :) So happy you and your son are having such a great time. Enjoy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GatorMomInNC Posted July 3, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Great, thanks for the Quick responses. I will give them a cash tip the last night. There were two, now another has joined. I think I will give the largest tip to the one who handled his age group, a smaller to the one who handled the older group ( but he was there quite often when they combined the groups) and a smaller one to person who joined yesterday...

cruzboss Posted July 3, 2013 #6 Share Posted July 3, 2013 They work so hard and are so nice. We always tip them on the last night and they really appreciate it. On our last cruise last month, one of them told me they were all sharing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
