Tipping

I understand the basics of tipping and the automatic tip practice. However, I have a question about additional tipping. If I want to tip our room steward(s) and waiter at the beginning of the crossing, how and when would I do that? First night of dinner, after dinner is concluded? Leave tip in the room the first night or hand directly to room steward? Thanks!

FWIW, I give any additional amount on the LAST night. It's either handed to him directly or I put it in an envelope with his name written on it. (No doubt then that it's for him and not cash that was forgotten to be returned to the safe.)

I always give the tip to the steward in person. I have on occasion tipped the steward at the start of the cruise and do so at which point they come in to introduce themselves.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for! We will have 3 rooms and even though we reserved 9 months in advance, they are not right next to each other. Very close. I am hopeful that all of our rooms will have the same steward.
