Is there a page on the HAL website that shows the current HSC?

Thanks

From HAL FAQ’s page: 

Crew Appreciation is a daily (adjustable) amount added to your onboard account and pooled in order to recognize the many crew members in Dining, Entertainment, Housekeeping, Guest Services, Galley and Onboard Revenue and Entertainment areas throughout our fleet who contribute to the guest experience. 

 

The daily Crew Appreciation charge is $15.50 per guest per day for non-suite stateroom guests and $17.00 per guest per day for suite guests. The charges are subject to change without notice.

 

The Crew Appreciation Charge is paid to Holland America Line crew members and represents an important part of their compensation. An 18% Service Charge is automatically applied to all Beverage Purchases, Bar Retail Items, Specialty Restaurant Cover Charges, all For Purchase A La Carte Menu Items, and all Spa & Salon services. Local Sales Taxes Applied where required.

Does this still cover room service or is there an expectation to tip a few dollars on delivery?

We still tip a few dollars for room service - they really seem to appreciate it and seems to result in quicker service for rest of cruise.
