phoenix1181 Posted May 14, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Cabin Steward Waiter Assistant Waiter Head Waiter The implication seems to be that there are others included now that weren't previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix1181 Posted May 14, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 14, 2015 IIRC, the Cabin Steward & Waiter were $3.50 & Assistant Waiter was $2.00. Don't remember what the Head Waiter was. That was pp/pd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted May 14, 2015 #6 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Yes I was wondering on the $$ amount they suggested The last time that Royal Caribbean offered the specific suggested amounts for each of the four positions was before the last increase in daily amounts, so now we cannot answer that question. To respond to a couple of other posters: those people were always tipping out others who helped them; we just weren't officially notified about it. Now RC mentions it.

Ken at the beach Posted May 14, 2015 #7 Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) This is from a letter that we received in our cabin on the Freedom at Christmas. Dining services $6.80 Stateroom attendant $3.85 Other housekeeping personnel $1.35 Total $12pp per day.

Paul65 Posted May 14, 2015 #8 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I remember head waiter was $.75 per day. I remember a recurring theme of "why should I tip a head waiter I hardly ever see?" A lot of people were pretty begrudging of that 75 cents per day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering how they were tipped in the paat Gratuities have always included those folks that work in the WJ for dinner as well as those crew members that deliver your luggage on embarkation day and pick up your luggage the night prior to debarkation. It was just never itemized before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just never itemized before. If that's the case how much did the 4 people the envelopes covered really get?? How much did they have to kick into the pool? Doesn't seem fair to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted May 14, 2015 #12 Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) If memory serves me it broke down like this. I could be wrong on the Maitr'd & Assit Waiter. Waiter $3.50 PP Room Steward $3.50 PP Assit Waiter $2.50 PP Maitr'd $ 1.75 PP ? Edited May 14, 2015 by Desert Cruizers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the above mentioned has to share what is left for them?? Not much I would think. Thanks for input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
