Question about butlers in sky suites

[cougar]

We have been booked into a sky suite with butler service on the Galaxy. We have never had a butler before so my question is if you order off of the regular menu and butler brings it do you tip him like you would room service or tip at end of cruise?

[JULES_M]

I have never tipped my butler per service. I always tip him at the end of the cruise.

I have always tipped the Butler for doing special things for me such as a lounger on the veranda or serving dinner.

 

The Butler will serve your dinner (if you do desire--we didn't) course by course.

The only time you would give a tip for room service brought to your suite is if it is brought by someone other than your butler or regular room attendant.

I have always tipped the Butler for doing special things for me such as a lounger on the veranda.

 

 

We automatically had loungers on the verada on Sky Suites aboard Mercury. Is this different on M-class ship? We're sailing in a Sky Suite shortly on Summit and I'm certainly counting on having a lounger!

[nps001]

Sorry to disappoint, but yes. As much as I liked the Millie the balcony was tiny compared to the C-Class ships. The balcony of the Millie was 57 square feet. The only on the Century was 180 sq. ft.

[j!m]

we have never actually requested anything from the butlers we have had, they just seem to do what needs be done for us

 

guess we are low maintenance

 

we always provide the butler with something extra at the end of the cruise

 

oops, just remembered we often ask for a capuccino in the afternoon

We were on the same 6230 cruise. Us gals are going on the Infinity to Alaska. See you back on Crystal. Bev
