I usually keep some ones and tip a couple dollars or so when they bring my order.

ABSOLUTELY!!! I even have it on my budget. I tip 2-3 dollars each time. I just keep an envelope of ones in a place all family members know so that everyone has access.

Room service is not included in the auto tips. Yes, we tip for room service, we make sure we have a stack of $1 dollar bills and tip $1 per item we order.

Always. Usually like $2.

Yes, we always tip room service a couple bucks.

Just $2 per delivery.

We tip $2 when I order Tea in the morning and more if it is a full breakfast order.

PS: One reason I don't sail NCL $7.95 service charge for each room service order!

A tip is definitely needed/warranted. Anytime someone directly serves me for something I was too lazy to go do myself I feel a tip is due, i.e. room service orders and the drink runners around the pools.

we usually tip 3bucks for room services and 5 for server!

Yes, $2 or so for a couple of items, $5 or so for several meal items.

We order breakfast on early port days and tip a couple of bucks - always

They took some stuff off the menu and now we rarely order room service but when we do give guy a few bucks

They (CCL) seem to ignore the question, when asked, if alternative dining tips includes rooms service.

In any case, considering a full 2 hour sit down service meal tip is a little over $2, consider a portion up to that amount when you order RS.

Yes, a couple of bucks.

Tips for room service are NOT in the Alternative Services. You have not prepaid them. You are expected to tip a couple of bucks.

Wow EXPECTED????? I always tip room service and lets remember its a gratuity not a wage. If we were to always tip just because it was expected service on all accounts would turn to crud!

I think thats apples and oranges... the tip is more for the convenience and sitting on your bed, ordering food and having someone go from the kitchen all the way to your room to deliver it to you.

they are not the same thing and shouldn't be thought of that way since they aren't doing the same thing.

$2 is about the minimum I would tip depending on the size of the order

I was extremely embarrassed on my last cruise to learn on the 3rd day of ordering room service that my prepaid gratuities did not cover it. Couldn't bring myself to ordering room service again after that. Next cruise, I'm definitely making sure to tip appropriately.

Always!!! Whether our prepaid tips included or not, we would always tip extra to the individual person that brought the room service tray. Common courtesy in our world!

First the Only room service we have ever gotten is in the morning. It's our wake up call, and Coffee while we get ready to go down for breakfast! We always give that person $3.00 for the coffee and there little Mellon plate, and maybe a juice. We must have coffee first thing! So yes we tip, that person!

Yes, it is expected. Room service waiters are off the clock and it is their wage.

For a Continental Breakfast type of order for one person, a $2 gratuity is appropriate in my opinion. On Carnival Liberty, service was either exactly at the time requested or slightly earlier. (Except on disembarkation morning when it was 30 minutes earlier; but that was OK. I understand the time restraints that the staff is on during turnaround day.)

We have coffee delivered to our stateroom every morning. We always tip $2.
