If you want to.

Personally if we like our lead waiter(and we usually do) we tip extra during the cruise. We don't wait until the last day. We sometimes also tip the assistant waiter depending on how much interaction we have .

No, we don't and no one that we cruise with does either.

 

Extra tipping happens on the last night of our cruise.

 

Often, by the end of a meal it is hard to find our server as he is somewhere getting ready for the next sitting. We aren't of a mind to chase him or his assistants down when we are ready to leave the table.

I leave my automatic tips on, then make up envelopes for the dining room staff and my steward and give it to them on the last night.

We tip the wait staff team via an envelope addressed to "Headwaiter's Name Team" and let him/her distribute it. Same with the Cabin Steward Team.

 

If we use the bar waiter in the MDR room, we tip him/her directly.

Yeah we tip too.

Whatever floats your boat.

If I want to tip extra in the MDR on the last night, I just "palm" it to the person as I shake their hand to thank them. No need to make it obvious by handing an envelope. It's very discrete.

 

I take it everyone knows how to palm currency when shaking a hand? ;)

Your normal tips cover the dining room. No need to tip additionally.

We do anytime dining and rarely ever have the same waiter, so not for us. We do tip our room steward extra on the last day.

i don't but you are more than welcome to tip extra in the mdr or anywhere else on ship if you feel like it.

 

your hard earned money, your decision and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. :)

So far, we've always tipped extra to the waitstaff as well as the cabin steward because of excellent service.

 

If we ever have subpar service, we'd skip the extra tip.

Yes if they deserve it with outstanding service.

Some people may or may not know that the wait staff pulls double duty. You will more than likely see your wait staff working on the Lido during breakfast and/or lunch. More often than not the staff members recognize me before I even see them. If they address me by name, or help in any way, I do remember and I recognize the extra effort on the last night. ;)
