kenexx Posted September 21, 2018 #52 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Nothing extra. Auto tip covers it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floridalover5623 Posted September 21, 2018 #54 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Only if he does something extraordinary, beyond what is required Exactly. Other than making up the room & cleaning, it's about the only thing we except from the steward. Other than a few extra hangers & 2 patters no extras are asked for or expected.

drsel Posted September 21, 2018 #55 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I know about an old lady who tipped her cabin steward $10 because he unpacked all her clothes and put them neatly in the cupboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted September 21, 2018 #56 Share Posted September 21, 2018 That sounds like "I have this friend"........... That was nice of her and nice of him. They do work their butts off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NjoyNmytime Posted September 21, 2018 #59 Share Posted September 21, 2018 On a 10 day cruise I usually will tip the steward $50 the first day I meet him and ask the following: 6 pool towels per day. We usually go to the pool during the day, the spa before dinner and also like to use them to shower with Ice in the bucket at all times 2 patters Most importantly - whatever my wife wants....Happy wife, happy life. I explain that I have prepaid the auto gratuities and if everything is good I will tip more at the end of the trip. I am a big believer in big tipping and never mind tipping a lot. I love this idea and your requests. Thanks for sharing. I understand that tipping is personal but having no experience, I really appreciate reading all the suggestions. Next week we are doing exactly this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceS Posted September 22, 2018 #60 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I think that Auto Tips is what is expected. If someone stands out.....I will recognize that special service. There are so many crew who stand out! I love them and they love the recognition. I don’t use tips as a bribe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
