tispwisp Posted January 19, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 19, 2005 We are booked on the High Pockets on our Glory cruise (just DH and me) and was wondering how much to tip the first mate. We reserved the boat for just the two of us ($600 - a HUGE splurge - this is our 10 year anniversary). I believe that we don't have to tip the captain any, but how much should we tip the first mate? Thanks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmmn Posted January 19, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I use 15% as a guideline....a little less or a little more, depending on your experience and what you are comfortable with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambler Posted January 20, 2005 #3 Share Posted January 20, 2005 We did Highpockets over Thanksgiving, you will love it!!! I posted a review here. You need not tip the owner (Kathleen) just the first mate. I would think around $40 to $50 would be good. If you have Bill, he was great and he will snorkle with you if you want.

Boo's Mom Posted January 20, 2005 #4 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I agree. $50.00 would be very adequate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logie Posted January 22, 2005 #5 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Amy $50 is very good when you think that most people only tip about $5.00 a tour. They only take up to 6 people so I guess they would not make the tips that the larger tours make. I can't wait to hear about how surprised Chris is when he gets there!!! See you in St Maarten!!!
