I'm trying to get a reasonable ballpark figure on expenses before we set sail. I want to make sure we're planning for enough money. Hate to be short.
I remember seeing something, and I'm almost positive it was on the RCCL site, that told about what the going rate is for tips. Am I remembering wrong? Can anyone direct me to the page on the site where I can find this info? I saw some info on the Cruise Addict site, but was hoping to refind the RCCL info. Help!

Q: What are gratuity guidelines for cruises?

A: So that you can thank those who have made your cruise vacation better than you could have imagined, we've developed these gratuity guidelines:
Suite attendant: $5.75 USD a day per guest
Stateroom attendant: $3.50 USD a day per guest
Dining Room Waiter: $3.50 USD a day per guest
Assistant Waiter: $2.00 USD a day per guest
Headwaiter: $.75 USD a day per guest
Note: These gratuities apply to guests of all ages.
Gratuities for other service personnel are at your discretion. A 15% gratuity will automatically be added to your bar bill or wine check when you are served.

Envelopes for gratuities will be provided in your stateroom on the last night of the cruise. Gratuities may be paid in the following ways:
Pre paid by having them added to your reservation by your booking agent.
Added to your onboard SeaPass account.
Paid in cash at the end of the cruise

Dont forget some cash for room service too...........a buck or two or threee..(depends on what you get)

And the porters that take your luggage at the port..

Good idea! I would've forgotten about the porters and room service. So I'm figuring that I'll come up with an idea of an amount to take with us in cash and travelers checks, then bring MORE! LOL
Thanks again for the info. I truly appreciate it.

Hi,
I like to pay my own tips, not have the cruise line dip into my credit card.

As an added convenience to the really nice people on C-A, I will take on the task of collecting the money from each of you nad pass on to RCCL as appropriate. You can trust me. Send to my sign on c/o Cruise-addict. I do take credit cards. I volunteer to do this because I'm a nice guy.
