ColeThornton Posted April 30, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Nothing. Of all my room attendants none of them have been names Stewart. 15 Link to post Share on other sites
ColinIllinois Posted April 30, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I don't leave anything. I've never asked the steward for anything other than standard services. Link to post Share on other sites
GrabMyWrist Posted April 30, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 30, 2019 We typically tip our Steward between $100.00 and $200.00, depending on the length of our cruise. If staying in the Haven, we also tip our Butler and Concierge, according to how much we utilize their services. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
MCC retired Posted April 30, 2019 #5 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Never met or tipped Stewart but have slipped our cabin Steward extra $20 on occasion . 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Love my butler Posted April 30, 2019 #6 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Several hundred dollars, depending on how much he/she helped during the cruise. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Two Wheels Only Posted April 30, 2019 #7 Share Posted April 30, 2019 If the steward is named Stewart, he was destined to have the job. If the concierge is named Connie, she was destined to have the job. If the butler is named Jeeves, Alfred, or Butler, he was destined to have the job. Therefore, I have higher expectations which makes a tip more difficult to earn. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

tallnthensome Posted April 30, 2019 #9 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I prepay gratuities and another $40 cash. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
JamieLogical Posted April 30, 2019 #10 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I personally tip $20 and so does whoever I am with (my SO or my sister) for a total of $40. I selected $20 from the options. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
beanie315 Posted April 30, 2019 #11 Share Posted April 30, 2019 We prepay gratuities and also leave $5 a day in the cabin for him plus a $20 on the last day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
MrMike45 Posted April 30, 2019 #12 Share Posted April 30, 2019 $5 per day. Same as I would leave at a hotel. Rounded up. So on a 7 day cruise will give them $40 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Peachypooh Posted April 30, 2019 #15 Share Posted April 30, 2019 It depends on the length of the cruise. We tip 10pp per day. So for a one week cruise for two people $140. This is in the Haven. More if the steward is good...one time I left $100 because he was only average. Link to post Share on other sites
weskelly Posted April 30, 2019 #16 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I was advised to tip our Steward on Day 1 and that's always gotten us fantastic service. We usually leave $20 on Day 1 and then another $20 the day we leave with a hand-written note/card of thanks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Travelicious Posted April 30, 2019 #17 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Usually $50 at the end of the week. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

JennyB1977 Posted April 30, 2019 #19 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) I always pre-pay gratuities. I voted $20 above. I find my steward on the final morning and thank them while handing them the extra cash. That's based on my last two cruises which were 4 nights each. On each of these two cruises I did not ask for anything "extra". I do ask for/expect twice a day service. I like a steward that I don't see often, is polite when I do see them, and keeps the cabin tidy and stocked. Edited April 30, 2019 by JennyB1977 3 Link to post Share on other sites
AKR2011 Posted April 30, 2019 #20 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I voted $20, but usually tip that at the beginning, then another $20 or so at the end. We only stay in an Inside, but I like my towel animals. I haven't cruised since these weren't guaranteed, so I'll continue my usual tipping in hopes that I continue receiving my friends each night. I also keep the service charge in tact. I know others adjust that, but we do not touch it. I do believe that some of that goes to our steward. I did ask once and was told that some of it does.

Peachypooh Posted April 30, 2019 #22 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Is this on Cunard? If it is remind me never to book a cruise. Don't have the cash for that. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
trex-de Posted April 30, 2019 #23 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Compared to what you tipped before the auto gratuity per day, do you tip differently now? i am finding we do the same now as we did before the auto gratuity? I always wonder if the auto is truly going to the employees or another revenue stream for NCL that is put in the big income pot that pays the employees, among other expenses?

ray98 Posted April 30, 2019 #24 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Nothing above the standard gratuity. I am not a needy guest, they spend 10 minutes tops in my cabin each day. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Cruslvr81 Posted April 30, 2019 #25 Share Posted April 30, 2019 $20 for 7 or less days. Just finished a 10 day and left $20 in the middle and $20 on the last day. Link to post Share on other sites
