beachdrifter1961 Posted June 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I posted this on another forum and advised to post this on here. Hi I am going on my first cruise with P & O in September. I am aware that a daily gratuity charge is added to the bill but I was wondering if you tipped stewards bar staff etc. and if so how often and how much? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy123 Posted June 28, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I expect this thread will turn into the usual debate, so I will just give a simple answer to the question. I always pay the "automatic tip" and unless it's a very unusual situation, I consider that to cover everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachdrifter1961 Posted June 28, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Ah thank you, didn't want it to be a debate just heard so many different things and want to do the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks If you leave the auto tips on there is no need to do anything else. Bar staff are covered by the drinks they sell and the bar stewards are on higher wages than the waiters. Simple answer is to leave the tips on and enjoy your cruise. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgs1956 Posted June 28, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 28, 2017 There are plenty of threads on here about tipping without starting another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Janaway Posted June 28, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 28, 2017 It seems to be a very emotive subject no matter what site you belong to. My own thoughts (for what they are worth) I personally will leave the advised tip - no more as I would see that as tipping twice. People must do whatever they want but I have no issue with tipping for a service. Until it is compulsory then it is very much an individual decision.
