We're taking our first cruise in August to the Western Med - Norwegian Epic. From what I've read, veteran cruisers can't say enough about how hard the crews work and how long they are at sea away from their families (and how little they are paid). Just wondering: in addition to tipping, is there anything particularly American that these staff members might appreciate? For example, American music or food or sports paraphernalia? Just thinking about tucking something into our suitcases that might be a nice thing to give in addition to a tip. Any thoughts? Anyone ever done this?

Thank you both for responding. Although we're a little late to the game, we're really looking forward to joining the cruising community!

We're first-time cruisers going to the Western Med on the Epic in August. Looking to book some entertainment and thought Cirque Dreams looked interesting but can't find any info on the dinner part of it. All it says is to be at the Spiegel Tent 15 minutes before the show, but no details on the dinner. Anybody know anything about this?
