Appropriate tip for Room Service

If we have room service breakfast for three, what is the appropriate tip for the person that delivers it to the room?

I tipped on my cruise $5 for a full breakfast--two people...

Agree!! I tip $2 for drinks and snack, $5 for a meal.

Ditto to the above posters. I was on the 5-8 Diamond to Alaska, and I ordered room service often. When they brought snacks or just desserts, I would tip them a couple bucks. Full meals for two I tipped $5 bucks.

On Royal Princess, room service breakfast was brought by my cabin stewardess. Since she already was going to receive the automatic gratuity charged to my account, plus a bit more I gave her at the end of the cruise, I did not give her a tip upon breakfast delivery. From her behavior, none was expected, either.

 

If some other steward would deliver room service, then certainly a gratuity would be appropriate. I would consider $1.00-$2.00 per person adequate.
