Drebbie Posted August 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2014 We will be on NOS over Christmas. Is it appropriate to take small gifts for the room attendant? If so, any ideas? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matj2000 Posted August 14, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Just tip them like on a normal cruise. However one person said she gave the staff photo's of herself and husband. That way the staff can show their family members their favorite passengers when they go home. I thought that was odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted August 14, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 14, 2014 The staff's cabins are smaller than ours.......little room. If you want to do something extra...........how about extra money in a card. Sea Ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisePAC Posted August 14, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 14, 2014 A green photo of one of our Presidents. Haha. It took me a minute to understand this, but I chuckled when I did! OP: Anytime a thead appears asking about ideas for gifts for crew members, the overwhelming response is: cash. Everyone likes it and everyone can always use more of it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goes Cruising Posted August 14, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I love gift giving, but in this case, I have to agree with everyone. The crew works very hard for little wage. I don't know if you could possibly give them anything they would appreciate more than extra cash. I do think a pretty card and a nice handwritten note helps convey your appreciation.

LucasLounger1 Posted August 14, 2014 #9 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I gave money on Christmas Day (as in not just the usual tip amount - a bonus). Of course for many of the ship's staff, Christmas could be just another day and not the holiday it is for many of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted August 14, 2014 #10 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Money is why they work, so a bonus tip is nice. They don't have room in the little cabins that they share with others for "stuff".... I know at Christmas (or Thanksgiving, etc...) when I've had employers that gave me a turkey or ham, I would rather have had the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
