Mark-Sheffield Posted September 13, 2015 #5 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Only travelled once with RCI in the UK and we arrived at the port by coach and was guided into the terminal by staff and did not see our bags again until they arrived in the room mid afternoon.

AnDeNo.UK Posted September 13, 2015 #6 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Wherever we board or, disembark the ship, we always tip the porters. :) Edited September 13, 2015 by AnDeNo.UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyGold Posted September 13, 2015 #7 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Yes. We cruised from Southampton and tipped £5 for two suitcases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 13, 2015 #8 Share Posted September 13, 2015 If we're on a bus, where the driver handles the bags, we never see porters, so there's no one to tip! If WE hand our bags to a porter, we tip $1-2 per bag. We never see the baggage guys on departure day, so no tipping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisingthesuitelife Posted September 13, 2015 #9 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Yes, absolutely I do, whichever port I am sailing from. Out of Southampton, for 2 cases, I give £5. They are always so appreciative because so many people don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

besberry Posted September 13, 2015 #11 Share Posted September 13, 2015 The only time I've tipped in Southampton was on disembarkation from a world cruise where I grabbed a guy and he waited while I found my four cases. I gave him a fiver. On arrival I've never tipped, not sure why I should, he only grabs the case from me and plonks it on a trolley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could always leave you to grab your own bags and haul them thro' security yourself. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
