so,ton saint Posted March 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Have just returned from my Caribbean cruise with TUI and sat on the table with the welfare officer , having been in the Merchant navy myself for many years i did bring up wage,s at sea. Bedroom stewards $600 a month waiting staff $700 a month all sent home to there families , i do tip my bedroom stewards as it is more personal thing I.E $10 each x 30 cabins not bad some thing i thought i would bring up something to talk about, P.S to put things in perspective my wage,s were £38 12/6 a month back in 1965 ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pensioncruiser Posted March 16, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hi Howard similar to you we tip cabin steward $20 for two weeks that's if he/she is ok, last one was we had towel art most nights. The same for the MDR waiters, when we have the same table which we did on our last cruise (Discovery) the girls who give out the table tickets we gave $10 as they always had our preferred table/waiter ready for us, we always eat early so it was never a problem for other passengers. Then we usually take some 5s for the last night to hand out to any of the bar staff that looked after us well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
