    Message: John I will not talk about where I read this in fear if I do you will ignore it. There is a valuable thread on another site John talking about tipping the cabin stewards on embarkation day to insure you get good service. Some members are saying this is a bribe not a tip. Some say that are for good services rendered. And some are saying it is a must to get decent service. I have 7 cruises with Carnival. I have never done this. Do I have to start now ? That is why I am writing to you.

    -------------------

    The simple answer Petra is no, you absolutely do not have to and you will get service that I am sure will exceed your expectations regardless. If people wish to tip upfront then that as with all forms of giving a gratuity is their right of course. The most important thing is that if you do receive great service that you do reward the crew and for most part that is exactly what happens and my thanks to everyone for doing so.

    Have you ever tipped the cabin steward on embarkation day?

    I don’t either but we should find out. I mean, if we are tipping stewards before completion of requests, I should be tipping room service in advance so I get placed to the front of the orders, get priority delivery, and a guarantee no one spits in my BLT.

    you can not tip room service before they bring your food.. I am not sure why people would even think that.. I have cruised 15 times. I order room service every time.. They are great.. It just like tipping the room Stewart before hand to make service better is crazy.. They will give you the same service no matter what.. They are hard working people. They want you to tip but tipping is for good service.. If you give them money at the beginning it is called a bribe not a tip.
