Who do you tip cash to and who do you tip through your room account?
The auto-gratuity that's added to your onboard account covers your room host, dining room server, assistant server, and head server.
You may tip (cash) to porters, room service, excursion guides/drivers.
Beverages purchased (alcoholic or otherwise) will have a 15% gratuity added.
We typically add additional cash to the voucher at the end of the cruise for our room host and servers.
Who do you tip cash to and who do you tip through your room account?
I'm PIF and sail in Nov, is it too late to add tips to my account?
The spa automatically add 18% gratuity on everything.
that's a good idea. I know my hairdresser loves a cash tip.I do both. I leave the auto-gratuity tip as is and distribute cash on top of that (I think the CM appreciate that). I also use cash tips for room service.
I personally prefer to do things the old fashioned way. Envelopes. That's just me. That's what I am most comfortable with.
Does anyone know when the soonest is I can opt out of the auto-gratuities? Do I have to wait until I'm on the ship, or can I call and request to do it once I'm PIF?
We do auto gratuity and then usually add extra cash in the envelopes when warranted (along with the prepaid voucher) to personally hand out.
