latest amounts for tipping ?

[wenabre]

I figure as everything is going up these days that the tipping rates have probably also gone up. Does anyone have the most recent guidelines for tip amounts? We have also been very fortunate the our cabin stewards and dining room staff have always been top-notch and have always treated us royally and deserve everybit of gratuties and more!!

From DCL's site:

What about gratuities?
We'll make it easy. It is customary to give gratuities in recognition of service, which you will most likely be treated to in abundance aboard the ship. As a guideline, may we suggest the following:

Per Guest per cruise 3-Night 4-Night 7-Night
Dining Room Server 11.00 14.75 25.75
Dining Room Asst. Server 8.00 10.75 18.75
Dining Room Head Server 2.75 3.75 6.50
Stateroom Host/Hostess 10.75 14.50 25.25
Dining Manager Your Discretion
Room Service Your Discretion

For your convenience, a 15% gratuity is automatically added to bar, beverage, wine, and deck service tabs. All gratuities can be charged to your room charge.

we really liked our servers and room steward, so we gave them some phone cards we had orginially planned to give to crew in kids' clubs, but kids never went. We gave them a little more than recommended amount, and then two 120 minute phone cards.

Our room steward I thought was gonna cry, and our server used his the same night we gave it to him!

Just a thought!

Next week this time I will be shopping at the Premier Outlet Mall!

I also plan on giving extra if we have exemplary (sp) service.

Plan on going to Sam's this weekend to pick up those phone cards!

A Sailing we will go!

This is gonna be the longest week!
