JoeMGiants Posted September 10, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2014 On Holland America, we had 2 Stewards assigned to our suite. We planned our tips accordingly. We are taking our first cruise on Princess [Golden ]; how many stewards should I plan for assigned to our suite? [ Above & beyond the auto tip ] Thanks, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aikensbest Posted September 10, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2014 We did not have a suite on HAL, but had two stewards. Not sure why as we had trouble finding either one of the two most of the time. Always had one on Princess even when we were in a suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I read somewhere that HAL has junior or assistant stewards for all cabins. Is this true? I'm sticking with my lone Princess steward. We haven't been disappointed yet. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredNTraveling Posted September 10, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 10, 2014 On our 1st suite cruise we had just one and he was the best ever! :D:eek::D Since then we have usually had two stewards, one steward and one in training. So it depends on the ship and their training program schedule. Either way it is always great service. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In full suite or mini on Princess over the past 4 years ... our experience has been only one steward and, yes, exceptional service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our favorite steward was "Edgar" on the Star Princess to Alaska Fall 2012! He spoiled us royally! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM Posted September 10, 2014 #10 Share Posted September 10, 2014 You will have just 1 room steward. There may be an assistant who assists at times. If you leave the auto gratuity in place each will be taken care of appropriately and you can feel free to give extra if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
