If it's delivered by someone other than our cabin steward, getting room service delivered deserves an extra tip, IMO. Usually $5 from us, as there are 4 of us. If we just order drinks, then it's $3. If someone from housekeeping delivers extra towels or whatever and it isn't our reg. cabin steward, we tip about $3.We have always tipped the suggested amount, even when it wasn't earned (not my decision that one time). We usually give the cabin steward, waiter & asst. waiter extra because they seem to earn it. If they don't, they get the recommended tip amount.I think it's a matter of priorities. Good service is a HUGE thing with us - DH works in the service industry and we're willing to reward those that go the extra mile. It means A LOT to us and can make a good cruise a great one.
