zitsky Posted March 29, 2018 #52 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Great idea Tminish. Small dollar value, should not make anyone uncomfortable. Doesn't look like you're asking for special treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisakoivu Posted March 30, 2018 #53 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I usually bring them an 8X10 hand painted portrait of my entire family, that I paint myself. They seem to really appreciate it, and always assure me they will hang it in their quarters, how cool is that? No need to paint it, a family usually comes with the frame.

MizDemeanor Posted March 30, 2018 #55 Share Posted March 30, 2018 There's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to show your appreciation. I organized a Meet & Greet last year and this was my "gift" to the officers who showed up. They loved them! Do whatever you want to do. Don't let anyone determine your decision. ;) OMG what a truly Awesome idea!!! You are an inspiration. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doones2 Posted March 30, 2018 #56 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I remember when we first started cruising, we would give phone cards to our cabin steward and head waiter and waiter that we saw every night. Sometimes a great bartender too. It was just a little something extra besides the gratuities. It was really appreciated back then but of little or no use now. I still miss the envelopes we would give out the last night of the cruise. Just not practical with freestyle cruising now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From your xruise history signature it seems you've been around the ships and the seas a good bit there, Mommie. Thanks for the idea. Low cost and very insightful.

phissy Posted March 31, 2018 #59 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Just off our last cruise, Jewel. Overheard passenger ask HD if he received box of chocolates she sent to him. He thanked her and she went back to her table. he then told the concierge, “ more crap I don”t need”. I was saddened by such a comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the idea. Low cost and very insightful. LOL It is he only way I keep trak of them all! Love cruising....I picked some up at tjmaxx for them...Something small as they also have small quarters and have given them as gifts to the crew as well. I dont spend more than 5 bucks each and for the captain at meet and greets I spend like 10. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
