No, definitely not. That's what your tip at the end is for - all those little requests. Some people will tip extra for those little things each time and you can do that if you want, but I always sort-of add it up when it comes to tipping in the end. Did he handle my requests? If yes, I'd tip more if I had made requests than most people.

On our cruise in August, we asked the cabin steward 3 times for extra towels every day. We were in a suite and there were 4 of us, so (dah!) we needed extra towels. He did it once and never again. Kinda made me mad since we had made it very, very clear to him we needed more every day. Thankfully, he redeemed himself in other areas.

If the person that brings you the extra towels or wine glasses isn't your cabin steward, it wouldn't hurt to give him/her a couple bucks. Wish I was going as soon as you are on the cruise!! :wave
