Tip question

[buckeyefan10]

I'm am trying to figure out how much cash to take with me and was wondering who you tip and how much. Like the people that transfer you from hotel to the port and back, room stewart, the person that brings you drink when. you go to a resort. What other times do you tip? Thanks!

You will be charged $11.50 per person per day that covers your cabin steward and his helpers for twice a day turn down and waiter and asst waiter and $2 for the background folks who help your cruise.

 

room service is not included so tip at least $1 for a small order up to say $5 or $6 if you are placing a very large order.

 

I tip $1 a bag to shuttle drivers.

 

All drinks you are charged 15% tip on it automatically. My friend didnt notice the 15% added on and tipped more.. I usually wouldnt tip extra unless you find a bar tender you like and who is making stronger drinks you want to keep coming. Even bottled water you pay a 15% tip on.. all drinks. soda too.

 

I bring a envelope of one dollar bills and small change with me to tip shuttles and baggage people and to negotiate in ports and have exact change.

I would also consider tipping employees at Camp Carnival if you have kids. They are the ones that make our cruise great:D. They deserve it.
