What have you left behind for the room attendant?

[tickles]

What sort of things have you left behind for your room attendant or other staff person? Did you ever bring something you just did not want to take home with you???:o :rolleyes:

[Fiestacruiser]

All the christmas decorations for the room, to include a blow up 4 foot tree!

[Cotton]

I've left an extra bottle of wine I didn't open, but I wouldn't have left part of a bottle. I don't leave any junk behind that I don't want. Just something else for him to have to discard.

[janetz]

Beer and wine..They have their parties! :p

[Tamara]

Christmas decorations + small trees, & all open bottles of booze & all unused food items, (cans of p-nuts & soda, stuff like that). I realize they probably throw them away but you never know.

[flynrph]

Besides the dirty sheets and towels? ... Yeah, we left the over the door shoe organizer and some duct tape!:rolleyes:

[Aleciajoyful1]

We sailed over Valentines Day and I left our cabin attendant a heart shaped box of chocolates. I also gave a the same thing to our dining room attendants...

[Joanportia]

I have left behind a book and magazines that I have read. My friend brings along a library and leaves many books each cruise.

Sail on....................................

We returned from the dining room one night and the steward was there and admired our jeans. Well as we got talking jeans are a high dollar item in his country and he happened to be my size, so I left him a pair of CLEAN jeans. Whats also funny is he said how well they looked on us and that they were appropriate for the dining room.:)

[suzy1212]

We left 2 or 3 bottles of liquor. (rum and/or vodka)

 

I sold a house last year and the owners left most of their furniture and a garage/gameroom full of booze. I ended up having to do a bunch of work over there, so we traded some of the furniture and booze for pay. I still have a bunch of it left. We aren't big drinkers. (At least not at home.) :D

Yes, I always believe the steward in relation to dining room dress code. :rolleyes:

 

Anyway, are you sure he wasn't hitting on you? Seriously, I assume you are both males since you gave him the jeans, and it's a bit odd for him to comment how they look on you while he was in your room. I've only been to 4 continents and 10 or 12 countries, but I don't think I'm having a cultural misunderstanding here. I think he made a pass at your and you left him your pants... :eek: :D

 

 

To the OP, I've never left any gifts for a room steward other than a very tidy room (and extra cash ;))

[Grampy]

We always leave extra $$$$. They love it.

[neighbour_lady]

We always leave a extra money - they always appreciate it.

 

I left my pre paid telephone card once too. It had about $10.00 left on it and I knew he could use it!

[Yankeegirl]

WE LEFT EXTRA $$$ AND A TEQUILLA CAKE :p

[airmanship]

I leave my left over Liquor and tell my room steward to do with it what he wants (Gin, Tonic, wine , Beer, etc ). I always leave an extra tip of cash and a phone card too.

One thing that I always leave is a great review of their service on the comment card!! It goes to CORP. and they are notified of nice letters!!

[Cotton]

.......and that they were appropriate for the dining room.:)

 

Uh, he just sorta brought this up, did he? Yeah, ok.:rolleyes:

[iluvdoxies]

A clean room and vodka.

[BND]

Uh, he just sorta brought this up, did he? Yeah, ok.:rolleyes:

 

He said they had them on when they "returned" from the dining room. Looks to me like someone trying to start something. I think he's full of it.

[Barkingowl]

I left the steward a bottle of pheremones.

[EngIceDave]

I leave only a tip.

 

As for some of you leaving alcohol, I cannot believe anyone but the most desperate would drink booze from an open bottle from strangers.

and yes, you are strangers....not "friends" or "buddies," they don't know any more about you than you know of them.

 

Leave a sealed bottle or unopened beer, but don't delude yourself into thinking that the half drank bottle of gin you left behind is some great act of benevolence.

 

I am sure it is tossed away.

I wouldn't be surprised if Carnival and/or some other health regs required them to dispose of your discarded unsealed booze

[Bran8778]

A little extra cash and a sock always seem to get left behind.

 

engicedave ??

[Mysticks1]

The only think I left other than an extra tip and a note of thanks was cans of soda and bottles of water that we didn't use and didn't want to lug home. I left a note that he could use them himself or give to others if he wanted, and if not to please dispose of them for me.

The bottles I left were unopened and sealed. I gave the opened bottles to the kids traveling in our group a couple of nights before the end of the cruise, when I realized we weren't going to drink it.

[98Charlie]

We always leave an envelope with extra cash (except on one cruise but that's a story on it's own).

 

DH & I travel always travel with a new, unopened bottle of fabric and room freshener and tell our steward we are leaving what ever is left for him or any other crew member who wants or needs it.

 

I pack paperback novels I can leave behind and normally search out crew members who want to read them after I am finished or drop them off at the ship's library for the next pax to read.

 

Never left any opened bottles of booze behind :D but have left an uncorked bottle of wine behind that our steward seemed to really appreciate when we told him it was his to enjoy with his friends.
