Tip Question


Recommended Posts

About halfway through your cruise, you will be left a form in your cabin that will allow you to assign your tips to your cruise account. Last night you will get the vouchers and envelopes.

About half way through the cruise they will put a form in your room asking if you want them added. If yes, just fill out and drop into the box near the purser's desk. The last night they will have vouchers in your cabin and envelopes to still hand out the tips.

 

You can also have the tips added before the cruise if your choose. Just call whomever you booked through and it will be paid with final payment and if past then you can just put it on a credit card.

Just wondering what If you don't pay them? I would never do this but I am wondering!

 

If you have not paid them..people dressed in black will come and find you and make you walk the plank without a life jacket:D.

 

I guess nothing will happen apart from hard working staff not getting their full pay:(.

If you have them put on your SetSail Card can you adjust the amount or does it have to be the set amount?

 

 

the set amount will be added, if you want to add more just put cash in the envelope before you hand them out, if you want to go lower then you would have to do it in cash.

Are you at the point you say, "I don't smoke" or are you still saying, "I quit smoking 21 months, xxdays, and xxx Minutes?";)

 

 

guess you don't like my count up clock???? And for your info, I am a former smoker.

We signed up for my time dining and you have to pay the tips in advance. Did we pay for all the tips or just the waiter and assistant waiters one? Do we still pay the cabin guy?

You pre-paid your cabin steward, too.

 

You are always welcome to give more in cash at the end of your cruise, however.

You paid ALL your required tips, including the cabin steward

You are given vouchers and envelopes in which those receiving the tips hope you will add cash (lol). If you have pre-paid and you don't give them the vouchers for one reason or another (don't go to the dining room the last night would be one), they will still get the tip because it is in the computer. As another poster said, you cannot "adjust" the tips if you put them on your Sea Pass card. When put on your Sea pass card it includes a tip to the head waiter (75 cents a day????) who some people do not feel inclined to tip if he/she has been invisible (or non-responsive to a request/complaint) until it is time to pass out the envelopes. In other words, it is all or none on the Sea pass card--no adjustments. I think the tip on the sea pass also includes tips for butler service in the suites. Concierge tips are recommended (and envelopes provided) but not put on the sea pass.

Wait. So because we have my time dining we don't give vouchers to anyone on the lAst night? And for the cabin guy the morning we leave just leave cash in the envelope and leave it in the room?

 

For your stateroom attendant you need to leave your tip before dinner the last night of the cruise. Reason being, they can go ashore the day of arrival and usually are off the ship early as they only get 3-4 hours off. Also, if this is the end of the contract for them, they are also not going to be around the last morning.

You don't "have" to leave cash for the cabin attendant...his tip was included when you pre-paid your tips for My time Dining...you can certainly add to the voucher envelope if you want...but you won't be stiffing him if you don't
