While I now live in Australia, I grew up in the USA and have a very good understanding of the tipping system. I certainly know to tip in restaurants, taxis, cruise ships, bell services, tour guides, etc. However, prior to discovering these boards a couple of years ago, I had never, ever heard of tipping housekeeping. From reading these boards, it seems that it is seen as the thing to do (or maybe it is mainly just at Disney World)? Does everyone really tip housekeeping? I would never want to be cheap or rip anyone off - but don't want to be throwing money around either. Are housekeeping staff paid a fair wage, or do they really count on tips like waiters do?
