Another tipping question TIA

[luxlvr]

We are sailing on a 4 night staying concierge level (2 adults, 3 kids)

I already prepaid my tips but am a little confused who that covers and who it doesn't cover conceriege level.

I know it's a personal question, but how much extra should I bring for the concierge level hosts, etc?

TIA

The prepaid gratuities cover stateroom host, main dining room server, assistant server and head server.

On the concierge hosts and bartenders in concierge lounge, I would base it on how often you use their services, what it is they are doing for you and how many are in your party. Sorry, I know that's not much help, lol

Here's some threads that may help you get an idea:

We were on the Fantasy (concierge) last April. At the end of the cruise we received separate envelopes for each of the concierge staff. I don't recall if we had one specifically for the bartender but I know my we left her a tip because she was exceptionally nice and always had the beer my husband likes. As the previous poster said, it's really your personal experience as to how much to give them...based on how much you used their services, etc. For us, we didn't go to them often at all but I saw others constantly asking for something and even seen the staff watch their kids.

DCL is deliberately silent on tipping Concierge..other than to say it is at your discretion.

Base it on whatever they might do for you--for us it wasn't a whole lot as Shoreside Concierge did most of the bookings etc.

You will have multiple concierge in the lounge. You will have the lounge bartender, as well as several food servers. Only the concierge will have a tip envelope. We give cash tips to the bartender and food servers in the lounge.

We also tipped the bartender and food host in the lounge in cash. They really take care of you! As for the hosts- your discretion-number of nights, level of room and how much you use them. We used the stateroom host gratuity as a base line for our hosts and went from there.
