wrxrob Posted March 15, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2011 From what I understand, all tips are automatic, and billed at the end of the cruise. I'm on a 7 day cruise on Crown Princess (Western Caribbean). For 2 of us, how much will they calculate the auto-tip to be, not including meals/bar/etc. I'm assuming the bar tab will include its own auto-tip, based on how often you bought drinks. But the room steward should be the same, every time, right? For the record, we signed up for Anytime Dining. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Toto2Kansas Posted March 15, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Princess will deduct $10.50 PER PERSON per day for your auto tip ($11.00 PER PERSON per day for mini suites and full suites) per day. That would mean your auto tip combined will add up to $21.00 ($22 if in a mini or full suite) and be automatically charged to your shipboard account each day. This will be billed to your credit card at the end of the voyage, along with any other charges you made onboard during your cruise, (or you can settle up in cash the last night onboard).

-Lew- Posted March 15, 2011 #3 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Autotips are billed daily to your account at the rate of $10.50 per person per day for a regular cabin. The rate is $11.00 for mini-suites and above. Enjoy your cruise... Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARGIN Posted March 15, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Total auto-tips on your 7 day cruise is $73.50 per person for regular rooms or $77.00 per person if you have a mini or suite. This covers all staff including waiters and room stewards. They will also add 15% to the cost of wine & drinks that you purchase. This goes to the bar staff. Also if you order room service most tip from $2-$5 depending on what you order. You are not required to pay any additional tips unless you wish to give your room steward or waiters an additional tip in person. Have a great cruise.

-Lew- Posted March 15, 2011 #5 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Also if you order room service most tip from $2-$5 depending on what you order. Although many do tip additional for room service, you should know that room service personnel do share in the daily auto tip. Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew Yes, since room service staff are waiters they do share in the daily autotip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uppitycats Posted March 15, 2011 #7 Share Posted March 15, 2011 ...so, depending on how you intend to pay your final bill at the end of the cruise, you don't need to have actual cash on hand to hand out to anyone; it'll be on your final statement, due and payable before you get off the ship. You can of course pay that bill in cash, or credit card (or debit card; however you arranged to pay it when you boarded.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
