Room Service

[kiki&oz]

So what is the penalty for hijacking a thread?

 

 

I don't consider it hijacking. I read the OP, didn't know the answer but it made me think about expanding the question for myself and others. Sry to offend you!

$2.00 late night for a sandwich and cookies. $3-$4.00 during breakfast for a continental breakfast and coffee for 2.

Normally $1-$2, if they're bringing a lot food because of our order or if they bring extra then $3 to $4.

You'll get tons of responses. Many people like to way over tip. I think $2 to $3 is fine.

I really enjoy the coffee in the morning, and of course then we must have danish(yummy) :Dso 3.00 bucks tip.

Very true about the tons of responses, however, as for the "many people liek to way over tip" portion, that, is subjective to each person and to what is ordered. What one may see as an over tip, others may see as an under tip.

In each case of ordering from room service, the tip was based on the time of day I had placed the order and the amount of food I was getting. Trust me, 2 teenagers at 2 am in the morning can really scarf down the food, then add 2 adults to that same order, that room service attendant had their hands full with that order and deserved every bit of the tip they got.

I ordered room service twice, and depending on how long they took I gave between $1 - 5. I did take into consideration that I ordered something at 2am.

On our cruise, September 2008 - Hurricane Ike Conquest Cruise - I got a bit seasick on Tuesday (passing Ike) and my husband ordered ginger ale for me. He tipped $5 for 3 cans of soda. Some may consider that to have been a bit extreme but I was sick and it helped my stomach. In my opinion, it was priceless!!!!!

For us, it depended alot on how much we ordered and how many it was for. If it was just coffee and a sandwich for 2 then we tipped $2. If there were 4 of us eating then $4. If it was just coffee, nothing else, which seldom happened, then $1.

 

It comes down to what you think the service is worth to you. I enjoy room service, especially late at night (2am) and tended to tip a bit more at that time as well.

 

I completely agree and tip similarly, although, I'm normally snoozing at 2am. I would tip more if I was ordering in the wee hours.

Not offended but after you expand the thread someone else will also do it. Than the moderator will pull the plug on an interesting thread.

 

Why not just start your own thread?

We tip $3.00 for a snack and $5.00 for breakfeast.

[heatherandfred]

It depends, typically 1-4 bucks. I always make sure that I have plenty of singles for the tip.

[surfer143]

$2 bills are odd lots, some people of different cultures do not even personally recognize them as legal US currency. By that I mean they look at them go "***** IS THIS?". quote]

 

:DHilarious, and true!

[oncruisecontrol]

Room service is not included in the auto tip

 

 

Then, clearly, $1-$2 is not enough.

[oncruisecontrol]

Can anyone tell me if the tipping ($10 day per person) is reduced for 3rd/4th passengers in a room. Last year when we cruised the amount for the 3rd/4th passengers (children) was reduced. This year we are on Carnival and I'm not sure what the policy is there.

 

 

We always cruise 3 to a cabin, and the tip is not reduced for the 3rd passenger in a room. Nor, do I think it should be. Our "3rd person" gets the same service as the 1st and 2nd passenger in the cabin. We do, however, get a slight discount in our cruise fare for being 3 to one cabin. A very slight discount.

[CarnivalGirl3]

ummm...we get it every morning we're at port and the night before we leave. maybe for lunch once...not sure. I know we got a few snacks the night before ports.

 

but no, we never tipped. Didn't know we should. Thought it was a service included in the cruise.

[Payd]

If you include tips when u pay for the cruise do you usually tip extra??

 

Always!

[bobbyfk]

I usually tip $2

[SavannahMoon]

We got room service fairly often....and every morning. I generally tipped $3. One time I tipped $5. The lady who brought the food was VERY happy. :)
