VIP free laundry...Tipping or no?

[idecor8]

Just wondering what is customary when you use VIP laundry every day.

 

Do you tip as with room service or no???

 

Thanks!:)

do you tip at a laundry service on land? that should drive your decision.

 

we don't and wouldn't on board either, even if it were free.

I agree

Your room steward gets the clothes and returns them to your cabin.

 

Your decision as to whether to tip extra for this service.

 

Generally we consider laundry part of the overall service in determining whether to add to standard tip.

No tipping room service for laundry.....

Interesting question.At the end of the day, on my good days, I have found that I have brightened someone else's day. Certainly, the reality of the dollar limits our capability. Seems that peoples position on these types of practices offers some small insight into their perspective. Personal tipping

habits don't make us good or bad people, perhaps simply generous or less generous as tips are tallied by the day and subsequently sharged to us.Go with what feels best for you:)

What exactly is "VIP laundry"? I am booked in an ocean suite on the Pride in october. Does this mean our laundry will be done free of charge? Man would that be great.:confused:

[Ronn452]

I never really considered tipping the room steward extra for this. But after it being brought up, I believe that an "extra" tip, if the service is used several times during the cruise, would be thoughtful.

 

As for "I don't tip my wife". Neither do I monetarily, but I do buy her gifts, bring her flowers, and thank her in other ways I would prefer not to bestow on the room steward (and I'm sure he would pass on them as well) :) LOL

 

As for it being VIP, it's for Platinum level or greater, not suite relevant. Of all the perks of being Platinum, my wife likes this one the best. I enjoy it because I can pack less "wash and wear" items.

NO, not for suite passengers." VIP FREE Laundry" is for Platinum and Milestone guests.

We tip as we not only send ours but family or friends we travel with. A full bag per day. Some times 2 bags. Usually $10 a couple of times per week.

I dont have a WIFE..........................!

I would tip because yes it is free but like some of the others have said it is a service a little tip could make a room steward's day.. And they are saving u from having to do it yourself...
