Do you tip the room service person?

[CruisinMama27]

How much on average do you tip the person that brings the room service to you? Thanks

[Rirruto]

I gave 2 bucks the one time I ordered room service. I think I got the BLT and cookies and brownies.

[CruiseCentric]

$2-$4 depending on the size of the order.

[CruisinMama27]

o.k. THanks:)

[Sealicker]

I tip $1-$2 remembering that my cabin steward get $3.50 for taking care of my room per day, I would hate to tip the delivery person more...

[deborahjo]

$1 to $2 per delivery. Depends if it is just a sandwich or a whole meal.

[Cotton]

Solo cruiser here...I tip $1 for just coffee and croissants, but $2 if I order a whole tray of items.

 

I've often said what Sealicker did. Seems not quite fair to the cabin steward (who gets only $3.50 for an entire day's service of cleaning the cabin twice a day). So I'd never tip a simple room service delivery over $2, even if there were more people in the cabin.

I always get a supply of $2 bills before each cruise and use them as room service and other misc. tips.

[Kurbanfan]

2 dollars. Nothing more and nothing less.......

[finoky]

Usually a dollar but sometimes two if the order is large.

[BrendaB1]

I tipped $2 & also received a $2 charge on my S&S account for Room Service. :rolleyes: Guess mine stuck the money in his pocket & said I didn't tip.

Is the tip not included in the ticket, like at hotels? (they sometimes call it a service charge but that is the tip that is built in)

 

I thought that the tips were included in the ten dollar a day charge except for whatever extra you wanted to give your room steward and your table waiter?

The room service deliverer is not included in the pre-paid gratuities.

OKBOOKGIRl, not to my knowledge is the room service included, and neither are the drink servers, need to have a bunch of ones to take care of these hard workers that serve us so nicely.

[LHP]

1 -2 bucks depending on how much I order.

[caribbean dreams]

I tip $1 per item.

[hstrybuf]

Usually $1-$2 since we never order a lot.

That's why many of us leave a cash tip in our room for our steward.

[steveNcindy]

1 - 2 per delivery, depending how much I need my coffee in the morning and how happy I am to see the server.

:eek: They charged a tip on your sail and sign, never heard of that happeing.

 

We always tip a couple of bucks, I usually take a couple of rolls of the gold $1 coins.

Glad to see we were not the only ones. Seemed kinda silly to only give them 3.50 per day . We gave ours a extra 50 on the 3rd day then when we left the ship we gave him another 20 because my husband had won in the casino and we had extra cash : )

 

I tip 2 bucks when they guy brought the snacks to the room . Only when it came up fast did I give him 3 .

 

Also does everyone else tip both the servers from your dinner time and the drink person ? we did but no one else at the table did this on the last night and one lady even said she had been cruising for 15 years and never did that . I did find it strange that she tipped the " Maid Tre D" as she called him 20 bucks but thought I was strange to tip the drink guy . I thought you tipped him in addtion to the others not instead of .

 

OMG if you are reading this I am not making fun of you for the way you talked I found it cute I swear I did . : )

The drink servers, if you are talking alcohol, get a 15% tip. So, they don't need any more. The room service isn't included as, there is no cost for room service.

Can they do that as room service is included? Tipping, although not required, is only heavily suggested.

 

and before anyone says anything, I do tip for room service. $1 - $3 depending on what all I have ordered. and how much I've been drinking. I tend to get generous when drinking.
