Clarea Posted April 18, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 18, 2017 If you are on a ship that has transitioned to the new room service menus with the $7.95 charge, that charge is supposed to include gratuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinkBellaMom Posted April 18, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 18, 2017 We usually only have a pot of coffee delivered and tip a dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted April 18, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 18, 2017 The $7.95 charge includes the tip. If you order something that carries no charge, tip $1-2 at time of delivery. It is kitchen staff that delivers, and they aren't part of the pre-paid tip pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperSniper4 Posted December 1, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 1, 2017 We usually only have a pot of coffee delivered and tip a dollar. Ditto, or maybe a bit more if we are impressed with the guy/gal bringing it and how prompt they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellwingri Posted December 1, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 1, 2017 We use the room service order form that you hang on your door every evening to get a pot of coffee delivered in the morning between 7:30 and 8:00. They always call a couple of minutes before they come so we use it as our wake up call. We tip $2 every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted December 1, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Looking for opinions/suggestions for tipping for room service ? Do you like to have room service for breakfast or lunch? We have room service breakfast every morning and sit on the balcony to eat it. The new hot breakfast is much better than the old cooked breakfast. I tipped $2-3 before and after the charge was introduced and the waiters are always grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottishcruisefan Posted December 1, 2017 #9 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I know a room service charge was introduced. Does that apply to breakfast as well? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Basic continental breakfast items = no fee Hot breakfast, anything besides the above = $7.95 per delivery no matter how many items are ordered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishcruisefan Posted December 1, 2017 #11 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Thanks. Didn’t realise that and on our July cruise avoided using room service for early morning coffee to avoid the charge!! Oops.

rncruiser Posted December 2, 2017 #12 Share Posted December 2, 2017 We always enjoy a “pre-breakfast” of fruit and coffee on our balcony. No charge and we tip $2 every morning. I make sure I bring enough $1 bills with me specifically for this purpose. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
