Is this calculator accurate for X do you need to tip everyone mentioned or are some optional?

 

I need to figure out how much cash to bring

 

Thanks

This is from Celebrity's website:

 

Gratuities

On the last night at sea, it is customary to offer gratuities to staff members you feel have given you exceptional service and personal attention. We suggest the following guidelines:

 

Assistant Chief Housekeeper $0.75

Stateroom Service $3.50

Stateroom Service Concierge Class $4.00

Assistant Maitre'd $0.75

Waiter $3.50

Assistant Waiter $2.00

 

(Rates Per Person, Per Day)

 

Note: Bellboys are tipped as service is rendered.

-----

This adds up to $10.50 or $11.00 pp/day (depending on whether you are in Concierge class or not).

You can put the tips on your on-board account to be paid by credit card if you do not wish to bring that much cash with you. (Small bills for other tipping, eg. room service, are good to have with you.)

Thanks for the tip calculator site. It worked great. I printed it out and will be ready for the suggested tips, plus a little more for great service. What a great site!
