RLM77 Posted August 22, 2014 #26 Share Posted August 22, 2014 We always tip the first morning or even the first evening if I have asked them to do a number of things....empty mini-fridge, extra pillows, egg crate on bed. We then tip daily, a few dollars IF they are good and usually we have had great room stewards. And finally at the end of the cruise if they were very good we give a larger tip. For a week's cruise we usually end up tipping our room steward about $35-$50. This is exactly what we have always done. Tipping the morning of embarkation day seems to assure that things we need/want actually happen on Day One. Occasionally we have been disappointed. If so, no further tips are given and if necessary, complaints are registered through guest services. The latter has happened only twice, both on Princess.

KirkNC Posted August 22, 2014 #28 Share Posted August 22, 2014 ...for your room steward. Would you: a) tip at the end at a certain per person/per day rate? b) leave a few $$ daily? (I do this in hotels mainly b/c I know it's not always going to be the same people servicing the room - not the case on a cruise, though) c) just leave a flat dollar amount at the end of the cruise? Trying to gauge how much cash to bring with us! Thanks! We do C based on our total experience through out the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
