any cruise cast members here....tipping questions

[cpdrn7]

I am in awe of hearing the great service levels we are going to experience this first cruise next month. I would like to be 100 % appreciative of great service....in tipping or little thank yous....so my question is ....do most like phone cards ? walmart cards? disney cards? ....what ever is "better" for you that is what I would like to do....thanks in advance...

I'm guessing that most would prefer cash.

I'm not 100% sure of this....but...I don't think some members can accept cash tips...like the workers in the clubs...that's why so much has been mentioned on the boards about "thank you" offerings like the gift cards and phone cards. Also from what I have heard (from a CM on the board) they really like the gift cards from places like wal mart...that way when they are docked they are able to purchase items they may need for themselves..(shampoo, hygine items...bla bla bla the list goes on.) Getting something like that (GC)...they could alway turn around and use it to purchase a phone card it thats what they needed. Another thought with the gift cards are...if you pruchase a few...and don't for one reason or another find enought CM to hand them out to...you can alway take them home and use them yourself

Once again keep in mind i'm not 100% sure...of anything I mentioned...it's just information I have gathered.

If you are SO pleased with your service, then a few extra $s are the best option if you wish to show your gratitude. If not, then phone cards (international) are always gratefully received. Have fun. Nat

I am with Kalem...we give cash..then they can use it however they want to, and they are not subject to any companies rules/regs.
