princessD Posted September 1, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 1, 2009 What do you give to your room steward at the end of your cruise? Is there something different or special that maybe they would really enjoy? I want to make a special basket of goodies. Marsha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friggie Posted September 1, 2009 #3 Share Posted September 1, 2009 We are going at Christmas time this year and thought about this and have come up with a little something special to do for a room stewards and whomever else we come across perhaps. My husband does woodworking as a hobby so he is going to make a bunch of key chains to do with where we come from..ex. maple leaf, wolfs footprint, bear footprint and whatever we can come up with. We thought would be a nice little extra for the wonderful ppl that work hard for us to have a superb vacation. Here is an example of what I mean.

cruisecatmama Posted September 1, 2009 #4 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I did a little (5X7) watercolor caricature painting of our group and included our room steward in the painting. I also did two others, same size, of our group with our waiter and assistant waiter for them. They loved them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski ninja Posted September 5, 2009 #5 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I leave a phone card for my cabin steward toward the beginning of the cruise. I get one of the 500+minute (only comes out to 10 min or so of international calling) ones from Sam's club so they can call thier family back home. I heard on this thread many years ago that they like these because they call thier families back home while in ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeCharlescruiser Posted September 7, 2009 #6 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I give money for the simple reason that the crew has very limited living space to themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zstell Posted September 11, 2009 #9 Share Posted September 11, 2009 We have always given $, but we are traveling on the Dream in December-close to Christmas. I am thinking that a gift basked for the steward and waiters would be fun...calling cards, bath products, candy and maybe a variety of small bottles of ???? I have always been pleased w/service and this would be a fun thing to do for them. Thanks for the suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 11, 2009 #10 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Remember that these folks share a cabin (smaller than any passenger inside cabin) and have precious little room...give them money, and they can buy what suits them....they generally send the money home to family (that's why they're working, after all).
