Going on a 7 day cruise how much should you tip? |
Travel Info why do you pre-tip? i've heard between $200-$400, that seems alot for 7 days that is 1/3 the cost of the cruise itself. and who do give the money to. Travel Tips I never ever pre-tip. Mainly because I do not know if the stateroom attendant or waiters are good or not. On our cruise last August, we tipped generously because all of our attendants were excellent, so we ended up tipping $5 per day. We ended up giving our stateroom attendant and our two waiters a total of $20 for each attendant (M-F cruise). That was actually better than the suggested tip guide on the cruise website. Others Thats should all be taken care of with the tickets. I don't give a dime to anyone when I am at sea. Doesnt cruise put gratuity into things such as once you leave $30-50 will be added????? If I'm not mistaken, Depending on what type of cruise...It's sometimes already included in the price of the cruise. It's probably best to ask a travel agent. You are conveniently provided with envelopes and a tip card to help you calculate what to give each person when you get to your room. I would estimate closer to $100-200 after all the damage is done. Here鈥檚 a link to help: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art3... You pretip to show the staff that you recognize their efforts at guaranteeing you a good time on the cruise. It will also ensure that they spend a little extra time taking care of your needs. I'm not sure about the amount. I would guess that you would give the tip to the concierge, or whoever serves in that position on a cruise ship. If its a smaller boat or yacht, you might give it directly to the captain. Just be clear that it is meant to be used as a tip. Sounds like fun! Be sure to have a good time! They usually have a 'recommended tipping guide' in your stateroom. But we tipped ($10 US) our 'floor attendant' when we arrived, to be certain we got a little extra attention and tipped the Bartenders as we went for the same reason. |
