cb at sea Posted March 12, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Depends on what services you use! A couple bucks to the bartender, if you get drinks. If the concierge does something special for you, a few dollars on the last evening is a nice gesture. It's really up to you, and what you use!!

gerif Posted March 12, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 12, 2017 For the concierge, it depends on how much we might ask - we're pretty low maintenance but maybe a specialty restaurant reservation if we can't get one or advice on a port perhaps then about $10 per person per day. More if you have them do a ton for you. Servers, maybe $1 or so per drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maria1122 Posted March 12, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 12, 2017 We always give the server a dollar every time he delivers us a drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted March 12, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Thank you.we will be D+ after next cruise and will be able to use the CL.We always tip the waiters and sometimes the consierge in the diamond lounge but wasn't sure what extra services we might get in the CL to base tip on. love sailing with RCCL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted March 12, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 12, 2017 On the Allure we usually end up asking for assistance a couple times from either concierge. We have tipped them each $50 in the past. The bartenders well, that is another story. We usually tip the one that latches on to us. After about day 2 they seem to migrate to the same people. If they tip share, fine. We give usually $50 The only time we reduced this tip was on the Oasis. We had to go to the bar to get our own drinks, except on the last night when they were eager to serve. We gave the bartender making the drinks the tip. The roaming bartenders we ignored like they did to us that week. Just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr3939 Posted March 13, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Usually by the second or third day I get a pretty good feel for who is attentive and who isn't. We have done Oasis and Allure. The hostess in CK really went out of her way to help us on the Allure so third day I slipped her $40. The one concierge who went out of her way to be personable I slipped $20 day 2 and day 5. The bartender who knew our names and cocktail order by day 2 got $20 and $20. Last day I gave the head concierge and CK hostess another $50 each.

Just saying In the DL on vision I gave a tip to consierge who greeted us as he also served our drinks and also barman every day so thanks for the replies it seems a similar set up in the CL regarding tips. love sailing with RCCL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucymorgan Posted March 13, 2017 #13 Share Posted March 13, 2017 On our recent 12 day cruise we (4 people with 2-3 usually going to the lounges) tipped the most attentive bar tender in the DL and CL $100 each, the less attentive bar tenders in each lounge 50 and the concierge in the CL 50 (she was lovely but we didn't need anything from her). We didn't really interact with the DL concierge. We split our time between the lounges so that seemed fair. We gave these on the last night. One of the bar tenders did tell us that they shared out the tips anyway so that is fine with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted March 13, 2017 Author #14 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I normally tip daily,does anyone else do this or do most of you in the CL give a tip on the last night? love sailing with RCCL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfguyxxx Posted March 18, 2017 #18 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I usually tip heavy the first night of the cruise and about every other or third day after that. It ends up being about $100 for bartenders during the whole cruise which is worth it as we really aren't paying for drinks in the CL. Concierge is dependent on what they might do but about $50-$75.

Good answer this is similar to what i do.It helps when you know what other people give as in DL they do a great job and deserve it and i wanted to know as well when i go into CL my tips are on a par with others. love sailing with RCCL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a great guy. He is more hands on than most but the other ships you are going to have great concierges as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't get his name but he was probably in his thirty's with short dark hair,he welcomed everyone when you entered and left the DL as well as serving drinks. Thanks for info on Independence and Freedom consierges. love sailing with RCCL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted March 21, 2017 Author #22 Share Posted March 21, 2017 On one cruise our lady consierge mingled with everyone and became a great friend so on the last night we invited her for wine and dinner after DL hours and we all had a lovely time. love sailing with RCCL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
