butterfly2 Posted March 15, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2008 What is an appropriate tip for 2 of us going on Silver Moon 1? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lsimon Posted March 17, 2008 #2 Share Posted March 17, 2008 On the Silver Moon you have a crew of 2 and a max of 12 passengers. The on board service is very good, from the drinks served, meals, snorkeling guide, etc. I'd guess people will tip anywhere from a couple dollars per person to over 20/pp. But tipping is a very personal decision based on your preference and the service you receive. Myself, I think with a low ratio like that (as opposed to a bus full of 60 people with one guide) a tip of 10 to 20% of the excursion price is appropriate given the level of service provided. I'd suggest budgeting for that and making your own personal decision at the end of your trip based on your experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bplazo Posted March 19, 2008 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2008 We tipped $50.00 for the three of us. It was my husband, myself and daughter. I alway have a tough time trying to decide what is an appropriate tip. I have seen (as far as I know) some people leaving without tipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyride Posted March 20, 2008 #4 Share Posted March 20, 2008 It seems to me that a tip is something that you decide on after you have received the service... I can understand planning for a tip - maybe from 10% to 20% of the cost of the tour. But, in the end, I make the decision what to tip after the experience. If the service has been wonderful and the experience has exceeded my expectations, then I tend to tip more. If it was just OK, I still usually tip about 10%. The whole tipping thing is really a personal choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveCruiser Posted March 23, 2008 #5 Share Posted March 23, 2008 10 to 20 % is good unless they did some thing special.. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mexicobob Posted March 30, 2008 #6 Share Posted March 30, 2008 The service we received on Silvermoon was outstanding. I would suggest tipping at the least 20%, but they deserve much more. MexicoBob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCCLismyfav1 Posted April 1, 2008 #7 Share Posted April 1, 2008 there happen to only be 7 people on our tour...By far it wa the best tour we had ever been on. One of the tour guides took me and another person to his favorite snorkeling spot:) ....It was the time of my life and something that I will never ever forget. Their food was nothing but fabulous, the drinks were the best, they were so friendly and helpful. We tipped them 40.00 for the two of us. We will for sure book the Silver Moon 1 or 2 when we return to the Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kas141 Posted April 1, 2008 #8 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I have a question about this too (we are doing this excursion in July) - do you tip individual people, or just leave a "general" 10-20% tip for the captain? TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bplazo Posted April 1, 2008 #9 Share Posted April 1, 2008 You can just hand it to one person and they split it between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
