Tips in a suite

[KyCruisinSusan]

We know what the normal tips are for a 7 day cruise for the room steward. What is the normal tip for a room steward in a suite?

How much more do you tip them?

We just got an upgrade to a suite 1 this week and I specifically asked about the tips . She said that the tips are the sameand that it is based on the number of days and not on your cabin. I thought I had read somewhere before that the concierge level tipping was included and that they would not accept tips. obviously you would tip your dining room servers but it is my understanding that that the concierge staff does handle your tips for you so you do not have to stand in line at guest sevices.

The recommended tip is the same for your room steward regardless of which stateroom you are in. We did leave extra since we received excellent service and felt our steward had more work to do since the cabin is larger.

The concierge team will take care of charging tips to your room at the end of the cruise. All you need to do is fill out the form and give it to them.

The concierge team will not accept tips for any service they provide.

So, may I ask...is the concierge staff different from my room steward?

For some reason I thought they would be one in the same.

Thanks!


And thanks Susan for posing the ?? for me!

Yes, the concierge staff is different than the room steward. They have a little get together in one of the lounges after you board the ship and you'll get to meet your concierge team. They'll assist you with reservations, kids clubs registrations, etc. The team stopped by our room each afternoon with a little gift, like cookies and pastries. They were always available if we needed to make any type of arrangements or changes to our plans.

Your room steward will be in charge of making up your room and maintaining it for you. We did use the standard DCL tipping format and then added on due to the exceptional service we received from our room steward.
