| This is so helpful--but I have one question, and anyone can answer this. By the place where you input the number of children in your party, you can check or uncheck the "full tip" box. What is the protocol for tipping? Does it depend on the child's age whether or not you do the full tip? I certainly don't want to stiff anyone, but wonder if for example my 1 year old will warrant a full tip. Thanks in advance! |

I think the protocol would be the full amount but you still have the option of changing it when the time comes to tip based on the service you received.

| For kids in your room, I'd tip 50% or so for the room steward, but 100% for your wait staff. As far as room service goes, you tip them at the time of service. I've never had service, on any cruise, that didn't warrant a tip above the suggested amount. Except once.

| Hmmmm Listen, I hate to come across as cheap, because I definitely am not. I am looking into a Disney Cruise, so obviously I'm not. BUT, to me giving out envelopes for tips seems a little tacky to me. I mean, I know that just makes it easier for the guests and what not. But, a tip is supposed to be "optional," though nowadays, it isn't. And to give out envelopes seems to make it mandatory. Furthermore, I was under the impression with all-inclusive, that it includes gratuities, etc. My real beef however is with the sheer amount. According to the calculator, my family of four would be tipping somewhere in the area of $45 a meal. So, we are basically paying for a meal with that tip. So, to say that meals are included is kind of shady, as you will be tipping what it would cost to just eat a meal. Think about it. Let's assume that the meal itself is worth $80, that is still an over 50% tip. I do not mind tipping, I honestly don't. I just do not like the idea that it is "expected" or that there is a standard amount. |
