paul929207 Posted November 9, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 9, 2013 You do not mention the ship you will be sailing, but on most you sign for just about everything on board. These charges are then settled at the end of the cruise, usually with a credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcwingwalker Posted November 9, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 9, 2013 You will also want to have cash when you are in port. I prefer not to use my credit card in port especially for small purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted November 10, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Room service tips are generally NOT included in the suggested tips.... You will probably need cash for small purchases ashore....and gambling, if you do that. The rest of your onboard charges can go on a credit card, or if you have OBC's, will go against the credit.

Treven Posted November 10, 2013 #6 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I also need cash as a tip for the waiter in the speciality restaurant(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith1010 Posted November 10, 2013 #7 Share Posted November 10, 2013 As mentioned have cash for small purchases in ports. Also for any cash tips such as for porters or for tour guides and also good to have some money in case of emergencies or should something go wrong with credit card.

BaumD Posted November 10, 2013 #8 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I also need cash as a tip for the waiter in the speciality restaurant(s). You can sign for the tip in the specialty restaurants. There is a space for it on the charge slip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treven Posted November 10, 2013 #9 Share Posted November 10, 2013 You can sign for the tip in the specialty restaurants. There is a space for it on the charge slip. Yes there is. But by adding a tip on the "bill", that amount gets tossed into the pool. By giving cash, the waiter gets to keep the amount. This is with the caveat (sp) that I've kept the auto tip in place - which I always do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogs Posted November 10, 2013 #10 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I also need cash as a tip for the waiter in the speciality restaurant(s). Not on most cruise lines. The cost of the meal includes the gratuities. Yes there is. But by adding a tip on the "bill", that amount gets tossed into the pool. By giving cash, the waiter gets to keep the amount. This is with the caveat (sp) that I've kept the auto tip in place - which I always do. On most cruise lines, any tip given over and above your auto tips is kept by the person you give it to. Only if you choose to remove the auto tips will the tip have to be turned in to the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cash tip I leave is in addition to the cost of dining in one of the speciality restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
