Whats that women talking about – 50c tips and a couple of dollars room service? I used to be a cabin steward and received on average between $30 and $50 dollars per room prior to embarkations, and that was for taking care of 12 cabins! We’d work together and share our tips, getting around $280 a trip, even better on caribbean cruises. That was on the QE2 mind you. Bon Voyage.
Oh, and before you give a tip to the head waiter or maitre’ de you should realize that the guy earns around $2000 a week, at least on my vessels they didn’t go below this amount. So maybe find somebody who had been working hard to make your holiday this special time but doesn’t earn more than you do
I worked for Princess Cruises a couple years ago; ‘thank you” doesn’t really matter if you are working 11 – 16 hours a day. You become a robot and don’t really care that much for appreciation. Sounds strange but that’s the way it is, especially if you consider the real length of contracts – my four contracts were longer than 8 months, believe it or not.
“The crew staff work often 6 months at a time so please don’t thank them”? Maybe a little thought prior to filming wouldn’t have been a bad idea.
