mamajules Posted February 22, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I usually keep some ones and tip a couple dollars or so when they bring my order. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawnjam1 Posted February 22, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 22, 2017 ABSOLUTELY!!! I even have it on my budget. I tip 2-3 dollars each time. I just keep an envelope of ones in a place all family members know so that everyone has access.

tonit964 Posted February 22, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Room service is not included in the auto tips. Yes, we tip for room service, we make sure we have a stack of $1 dollar bills and tip $1 per item we order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yogibear Posted February 22, 2017 #9 Share Posted February 22, 2017 We tip $2 when I order Tea in the morning and more if it is a full breakfast order.

RHilla619 Posted February 22, 2017 #10 Share Posted February 22, 2017 A tip is definitely needed/warranted. Anytime someone directly serves me for something I was too lazy to go do myself I feel a tip is due, i.e. room service orders and the drink runners around the pools.

Je Souhaite Posted February 22, 2017 #15 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Does anyone ever tip the person that brings roomservice? even though I know tips are prepaid but I always feel bad if I don't tip room service because I was to lazy to go up the the buffet to get my coffee[emoji39] do you tip room service? How much? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk They (CCL) seem to ignore the question, when asked, if alternative dining tips includes rooms service. In any case, considering a full 2 hour sit down service meal tip is a little over $2, consider a portion up to that amount when you order RS.

Wow EXPECTED????? I always tip room service and lets remember its a gratuity not a wage. If we were to always tip just because it was expected service on all accounts would turn to crud!

I think thats apples and oranges... the tip is more for the convenience and sitting on your bed, ordering food and having someone go from the kitchen all the way to your room to deliver it to you. they are not the same thing and shouldn't be thought of that way since they aren't doing the same thing. $2 is about the minimum I would tip depending on the size of the order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMSD Posted February 22, 2017 #20 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I was extremely embarrassed on my last cruise to learn on the 3rd day of ordering room service that my prepaid gratuities did not cover it. Couldn't bring myself to ordering room service again after that. Next cruise, I'm definitely making sure to tip appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drazil65 Posted February 22, 2017 #21 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Always!!! Whether our prepaid tips included or not, we would always tip extra to the individual person that brought the room service tray. Common courtesy in our world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TORQ Posted February 22, 2017 #22 Share Posted February 22, 2017 First the Only room service we have ever gotten is in the morning. It's our wake up call, and Coffee while we get ready to go down for breakfast! We always give that person $3.00 for the coffee and there little Mellon plate, and maybe a juice. We must have coffee first thing! So yes we tip, that person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkacruiser Posted February 23, 2017 #24 Share Posted February 23, 2017 For a Continental Breakfast type of order for one person, a $2 gratuity is appropriate in my opinion. On Carnival Liberty, service was either exactly at the time requested or slightly earlier. (Except on disembarkation morning when it was 30 minutes earlier; but that was OK. I understand the time restraints that the staff is on during turnaround day.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
