Tipping question

[spotter27]

If we rent a cabana with a bunch of couples in half moon cay does carnival add the tip in?

How does that work. It comes with a bartender and chef. Any Info would help. Thanks

Most likely they do not. The tip is up to you.

Tipping for what ?

[naz022292]

There are cabanas, villas, and then one "Oasis". The Oasis is about $1500 and comes with the Chef and Bartender. The other two do not. There are bartenders that walk along the beach and stop by the cabanas and villas to take orders. A tip is included in any beverages they bring (you can still tip more if you want). If you stay in a cabana or villa, you go get your own food from the buffet. You can take it back to your unit.

 

If you're staying in the private oasis, I'm jealous!!! Unfortunately, I can't answer about the tipping for that because I've never had that opportunity to get the Oasis!

We would tip for Oasis, which we have not stayed in, we have doe the singles and two story cabanas and not tipped there. The Oasis is a totally different story.

It is the Oasis. I was wondering how much to tip? There r 12 people. It is 1.500 to rent it. Do u tip 20 %? There r all different workers from Carnival cruise ships working there for us. Is tip included?

We had the Oasis on HMC two years ago, and we tipped the people. No where did it say tip was included, so we tipped them cash at the end of the day. Well worth it, they did a great job for us. There is a chef, bartender, person doing general clean up and getting you anything you need, as well as a security/ life guard person.

Thank you BigDog

We had one of the cabanas and they came around at the end I tipped I think $10. My thinking is, well, I should tip. They do set up, bring the stuff, then clean up the leftover food at the end.

Tip according to what you are comfortable with. Depending on how the service was also. does it just have a bartender and chef. If so with 12 people you should be able to divide up the tip. If the service was good and only 2 people to tip, we would leave at least $120 in cash and divide between the 2 staff according to what we felt each deserved. Divided up thats only $10 each. If there were more involved then 2 staff would leave a little more. That's what we would do.

If no one does anything for you, there is no need to tip! If they bring drinks, or procure things you need, a tip is in order. You do NOT need to tip simply for renting a cabana!

I would ask someone on the ship probably at excursion desk if tip is included and than go from there.

Our roll call rented the Oasis. There was 24 of us and every person tipped $10. We gave it to the lead person coordinating the Oasis and she split it among all the other employees working the Oasis - bartender, chefs, housekeeping, etc.

 

I would not tip any on a cabana rental. I don't see the need.
