IamJPT Posted December 17, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 17, 2021 On harmony now and are not sure how much to tip. They have been very nice and have helped with several reservations for us. Thanks again in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcelkk Posted December 17, 2021 #2 Share Posted December 17, 2021 That's why I love tipping. It is such a personal thing. There is no right or wrong. Anyone who isn't touched by the effort of the crew should tip no more than the minimum on your account. Those of us who have been touched should do what we can comfortably do. So the answer to your question is zero to whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamJPT Posted December 17, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I am asking about the suite concierge - I did not know that they are included in the $17.50 daily on account tip. I was planning on giving our room steward more than the account and wanted to make sure the concierges were taken care of also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted December 17, 2021 #4 Share Posted December 17, 2021 $100 is a good amount, but so is $ 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamJPT Posted December 17, 2021 Author #5 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Thanks - I was unsure. I asked at guest services and they said of the $17.50 daily auto gratuity per person per day that $8.45 went to dining and $6.20 went to our stateroom attendant and the remaining $2.85 went to other housekeeping services. I did not see anything for the concierge so we will adjust accordingly. I was surprised at how little / day for our stateroom attendant so we will add some ther also 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted December 17, 2021 #6 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Concierge (DL, CL or SL) has never been included in the daily tip gratuities. Whether to tip them or not is entirely up to you and the service they may or may not provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the suite attendant have to split the $6.20 with their assistant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been very nice and have helped with several reservations for us. Assuming it's still Jackie and Lilli, they were very nice and also helpful. FWIW, we gave them 20 bucks when they helped us and an additional 20 at the end of each cruise. (we were on a B2B) We also tipped the bar staff a buck or two with each drink.

We had Marijana as our Loft Attendant on Allure in 2018, then ran into her on Harmony in 2019. She was just wonderful. Engaging, kind, caring, just great. Probably one of the only attendants whose name I remember after 40 cruises. Did you have her on Harmony? We would love to see her again. Maybe she will be on Harmony when we are on her in August 2022. mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dat Cruisin Couple Posted December 21, 2021 #15 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Jackie and Lyli were the absolute best. You simply can't tip them enough. Jackie is onboard for a few few weeks until she gets to go home her Hernaldo. Their wedding video... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are fairly low-maintenance with maybe a restaurant reservation or two; but a couple times we had a cabin issue and the Concierge was able to broker a settlement with Guest Services. Can't remember last time the Concierge got less than $50 from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted December 21, 2021 #17 Share Posted December 21, 2021 We tipped 30 a few weeks ago. We have tipped anywhere from 0 to 100 depending on service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscobeans Posted December 21, 2021 #18 Share Posted December 21, 2021 For our last cruise we got an email from our concierge as an introduction and she asked if there was anything she could do for us. We asked if she could help us with dinner reservations and specialty dining. Never got any response and found her services were not needed for the entire cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it, there are a number of assistants that do things like take away dirty linens and bringing fresh ones and other assistance.

I was going to say the same. Some have made miracles, and some have done little. In the before times, we even asked a couple of them to dinner in Chops or something like that. Most of the time they did little was because we asked little of them, by the way, but that's how discretion works. We've had cruises where we barely went into the Suite Lounge.
