Dan40, I believe Luci was saying senior-as in her age not the fact she is a senior cruiser compared to you.
Socalmark, It was not coincidental that her service changed, When the auto-tips are removed the cabin steward
as well as all the others in the auto-tip pool are notified. This normally is done by being questioned by the
management on wether or not they are preforming there duties. If you had bothered to read the entire thread before
posting you would have seen this mentioned several times.
lfite in regards to your simple question(and you will forgive me for not trying to make it as complicated as possible).
Minimum acceptable tips are:
$1 per bag for porter
$10p/p/d the auto-tip
15% grat for bar service that is already added on to your bill
$2 tip to delivery person each time you get room service(they are not in the auto-tip pool)
$20 to maitre d' at end of cruise ONLY if the maitre d' provided you with with extra service such as changing your dinning
time, changing you to a different table if you request it, allowing you to order something that is not on the menu, etc...
