Creator's Key Takeaways

I do the assigned gratuity but because of I guess pressure societal pressure of being growing up in the American culture I have a hard time when somebody works with me day-in day-out not giving them a tip.

I typically tip the room steward and on the cruises that we've gone I can tell you the range that we've tipped $30 all the way up to $50.

I always tip the room service the person that brings the food to the door anywhere between three to five dollars.

I always give those guys five bucks to the porter that person is happy five dollars goes a long way.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Always tip the room steward $30 to $50 at the end of the cruise.
✓Tip bartenders an extra dollar or round up on drink receipts.
✓Tip room service staff $3 to $5 when they deliver food.
✓Tip shuttle drivers, porters, and pedicab drivers $5.
✓Tip tour guides and taxi drivers at least a few dollars.
