Im new here....Please help!
Who are we supposed to bring candy/goodies for and why?? lol
Thanks!!
We do assortments of Twix, M&M's, Reese's, etc. and also always do salty snacks like Cheez-its, Pringles & pretzels - that way there is something for everyone's taste!
We also randomly hand them out to crew that we see around the ship. Maintenance guys LOVE to get snacks & are always so happily surprised!
Next cruise we're sending a bag of goodies down to the engine room!
Those guy's will really appreciate that you thought of them and appreciate it so much!

I gave out bags of individually wrapped LifeSavers. We travel during the summer and was afraid of chocolate melting.
Now, I just need to figure out some of the "unsung heroes" departments.
So far, I have a very short list:
Maintenance
Laundry
Engine Room
BTW, I make up treat bags w/ candy, gum, etc and sample packs of Purex 3-in-1 laundry sheets for all of the tipped positions (along w/ their monetary tips).

Room steward (a friend) on DREAM cruise said they receive so much candy they give it away if possible, or throw it out. Some can't have sugar and they receive just plain too much. We were told that on one cruise he filled a LARGE garbage bag with the candy given to them!!!! I would keep this in mind while searching for alternatives. Trust me, they like cash better than anything!!!! Maybe a kind note in an envelope with an additional tip would be well received.
