nyjustus2 Posted August 15, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I went out today and purchased some googly eyes and other fun stickers for our cabin steward to use when making towel animals. Just curious to know what other fun things people bring for their room stewards, waiters or bartenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyjustus2 Posted August 15, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Sounds like fun, better than those torn stickers they use. The googly eyes are nice, but the other stickers I bought are made of puffy material - they aren't rippable! I always feel like the cabin stewards would enjoy having fun with the passengers. One cruise I went on our stewards name was Marianna. When we went to the Panama Canal, one of the ships passing through was named Marianna. I showed her the picture and then emailed her a copy - she was thrilled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDONCHICK Posted August 15, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Lots of $2 bills for their tips :-) Money is the best thing to bring for them but please just use $1 bills instead. $2 bills are pretty uncommon outside the USA - even for ports that accept US $. It makes it harder for the crew to spend in the ports, which I'm sure isn't your intent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes it harder for the crew to spend in the ports, which I'm sure isn't your intent. You are right about the $2 bills. On one of my mediterranean cruises, my cabin steward asked me if the $2 bill he received was real (I didn't give it to him), because theno one would take it while he was purchasing some things in port. Also, in some countries they will not take U.S. dollars that are torn or in bad shape. Before I travel outside the U.S., I always make sure my bills are new or nearly new.

Good advice about nearly/new bills, had never thought of that.............thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asubaru Posted August 15, 2013 #10 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Thank you everyone who responded about the 2$ bill idea. I never thought about any negatives. Guess I'll get some nice, newer one dollar bills. I plan to use them for the "free" drinks in the casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
