Kirk6400 Posted September 4, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 4, 2018 We love our morning room service too but learned the embarrassing way while cruising for the first time that it is customary to tip the room service staff when they deliver it to you. We assumed that the pre-payment of the daily "tip" charges included room service as well. In my opinion, I think it should, but I don't mind giving a few extra dollars. It was just really embarrassing to learn by one of the wait staff when they delivered it one morning. So don't make our mistake.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted September 4, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Is continental breakfast still free thru room service. Yes. The offerings vary by ship a bit, but an example menu can be found at https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=56805932&postcount=215 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lantzalot Posted September 4, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Yes continental breakfast is free. But you can pay a $7.95 fee if you want something more substantial. Although...we did that one morning and were charged $12.95. I’m still not sure how that worked and it wasn’t worth dealing with for $5. I figure there was some fine print or other charge I missed.

Rude and crude. The crew member should have been embarrassed, not you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pe4all Posted September 8, 2018 #16 Share Posted September 8, 2018 When they bring you coffee is it just a cup or can you order a pot?Sent from my iPad using Forums We ordered room service continental breakfast 3x on our recently (just off Breakaway 3 days ago) completed cruise, as we had shore excursions that met up at 7:30 am, and couldn't get everyone up and out to breakfast by then. I ordered coffee each time, thinking they would just bring a cup, but the coffee was delivered in a small silver carafe - enough for 2 cups each. Ordered decaf and regular - both delivered in the carafe each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think most people would tip, but there is no reason for anyone to feel it is necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk6400 Posted September 8, 2018 #21 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Nowhere did they say they were "called out"..... they may have just asked the delivery person in passing who politely educated them that the "tip is not included"....... No, actually the person who delivered our order one morning is the one who said something like, "excuse me, but it's customary to tip the room service attendant". He was polite but yes, I agree, it could be considered rude to say it to my face. However, had he not said it, I would have never known of the custom. I can only assume that the room service staff do not share in the daily tip charge added to the room, so I can understand the custom of tipping them separately.
