grapau27 Posted January 13, 2017 #27 Share Posted January 13, 2017 It was the captain on Oriana but when they said do you mind if he shares your wine we were shocked and said no. Sent from my Kestrel using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbenboys Posted January 14, 2017 #28 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I tip who I want went I want where I want. I was in Majorca for 28 days. We had a favorite restaurant. We tipped every night we ate there. Do you tip the staff if you rent a private yacht in the Mediterranean for a week?

Bollinge Posted January 14, 2017 #29 Share Posted January 14, 2017 It was the captain on Oriana but when they said do you mind if he shares your wine we were shocked and said no. Whenever we have dined with the Captain or his officers they have ALWAYS paid for the booze. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Miaminice Posted January 14, 2017 #30 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Back to the actual question: Is it considered proper to tip the Captain's Club Hostess? Simple! If you are happy with services received and you wan't to show your appreciation by giving a tip DO SO! It is your choice and why would it not be proper. Expecting tips or not, any host/hostess will see it as a sign of appreciation. Some guests will say thank you with kind words, some with a tip - all is fine! It is all better than the attitude staff gets from some other guests... So do not worry if proper or not. Good will will always be appreciated for just that and can not be inappropriate.

GUT2407 Posted January 14, 2017 #32 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I doubt they'd throw it back at you, unless it was so small it was an insult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob the Cruiser Posted January 14, 2017 #35 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Tip if you want to but if you want to help the person long term, get a comment card and write a glowing "performance review" while you are onboard. Don't wait for the email questionnaire when you get back home. I have been told by several officers that the hand-written reviews given during the cruise have significant impact for potential pay increases and consideration for additional responsibilities. More so than the questionnaire because the focus is on one person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floridalover5623 Posted January 19, 2017 #38 Share Posted January 19, 2017 You would be surprised what a small appreciation will do, especially to someone who doesn't normally get anything from the passengers.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
