gratuities on Regent Seven Seas

[pyrwhite]

Hi everyone. My husband and I are getting ready to leave later this week to sail on one of Regent's 14 day adventures for the first time. Although not a newbie to sailing, we are so with Regent. Since gratuities on board are all inclusive, and I realize that tipping is an individual choice, just wondering what your thoughts are on what is an average tip to give the folks picking us up from the airport and driving us to the hotel and subsequently to the ship? Also, any advise on average tipping of the guides and drivers on the excursions?

Your question is difficult to answer. Are you in a limo or a 55 passenger bus? The limo driver who helps with bags gets more than a bus driver. As far as excursions, tipping is a US custom. Do a google search for each of the countries where you will be touring to check on tipping guidelines. You are likely to be surprised at how low they are.
