Creator's Key Takeaways

I've had several jobs over the years you know in this industry serving people whether it was waiting tables you know serving drinks retail I understand how much tips are needed and appreciated.

We usually go ahead and uh tip them $20 right off the bat just shows them you know we appreciate them and they will take care of you the rest of the cruise they'll check up on you all of the time and you know it works both ways we do appreciate them of course but we're also getting something out of it as well which is extraordinary service.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Prepay your gratuities before the cruise to avoid large payments later.
✓Tip porters around $10 for a short cruise, more for longer cruises.
✓For piano bar requests, tip $3-$20 depending on the song category.
✓For bar staff, leave $1 per drink even with a drink package, and tip bar runners $20 upfront for extra service.
✓For excursions, tip drivers $3-$5 and tour guides $10 for large groups, more for smaller groups.
✓Tip room stewards an extra $25 for a 7-day cruise, more for longer itineraries.
