I love writing a personal note with specific examples of the excellent service. I give these notes with tips at the end. Love your ideas of giving early and keeping notes with $5 tips on hand!!
Glad it was helpful !
I had a room mate who use to work on RC and every 6th contract, he would come home and his souvenirs are a lot of Thank You notes. He collects them because he appreciated them all.
That's nice !!
Leaving on my first cruise with my husband in a couple of days. Have learned so much tips from both of you, this is the last one critical topic and you have been the best resource.Thanks Kevin and Frank, you're the best.
Thank you so much. Glad we could help and we hope you have a wonderful cruise !!
You guys are brilliant,thanks for the tips on giving the gratutity first up when you get to the cabin, LOVE that idea. Also the thank you cards, putting that on my list!
Our pleasure Christine !
Hi you guys! Great info thanks!!
Thanks Dawn !!
Thank you for giving general amounts of how much to tip and when and having it READY on you or very nearby. Very helpful.
You're welcome !!
Thanks for making these wonderful videos. You guys are so funny too. I always tip the room steward and room service. They work so hard for us.
Thanks
Thank you for another great video!
Thanks for watching!!
These are great tips. Thank you!
Thanks Tracy !
Thank you for all the great info. Very helpful.
You're welcome Michelle !!
You guys really breakdown every aspic of cruising nice job
Thanks James !
You guys are adorable! I love watching your videos, keep up the good work!
Thanks Amber!!!
Another good video. A fun thing we like to do on NCL is find the crew members who sort of work their butts off but not as visible as others to get rewarded. This can be the guy who delivers your luggage early. The hostess who got you a great table. The guy in the spa who is constantly mopping and bringing fresh towels. We love to tip them, acknowledge them to management with the NCL Hero cards, and thank them. The reactions are priceless. Yes the great bartenders get so many tips and compliments. But its fun to seek out the ones who work just as hard but behind the scenes a little.
It truly is the behind the scenes crew that rarely get acknowledged. We like to acknowledge as many as we can or give some type of gift. On our last Oct. 2017 NCL Jade sailing...it was a Halloween cruise. We brought costumes for the night. The crew had their own Halloween party two nights later and we gave them our costumes to wear & keep. They were so grateful.
It's nice to hear how aware you guys are to the people that help you. I'm sure you've seen those who expect everything
and reward nothing. I think it's called self in-titled. I enjoy tipping those in service....it's just the right thing to do.
Thanks Gary !!! It is so important to treat people with respect and kindness......but also throw a bit of $$$$ their way. I mean.... they can't buy food with well wishes !! They work hard everyday and deserve every penny. And I HATE cheap, selfish, entitled people !!!
You guys are the best......always good ideas!
Thanks Mister !!
Great ideas ...... Love you guys !!!!!
Thanks Colleen !!! This video seems to be VERY popular !!! Glad we did it !!
I have sailed 3 times since I saw this episode the first time. I have always been a healthy tipper but I now give thank you notes and chocolate. . You are right, the crews love it. The warm fuzzy goes a long way
So true that warm and fuzzies go along way!!!
Going on my first cruise next January and I am a recent amputee and will be using my wheelchair. Thanks for all the advice. I was happy to find a chanel with people I could relate to!
So glad you found us !!! Keep watching and congrats on your 1st cruise !!
Great video and so humorous too!! :-) I especially love the Thank You cards idea. I will be preparing Thank You cards on our first cruise coming up in December!
Great!! We really feel so much more comfortable with the tip in the tank you note and it makes it feel a bit more personal too. So glad you will be doing it on your next cruise in December.
I really wondered how to go about tipping this is great, loved your tipping tips.
Both of you always make me laugh and laugh,
and Kevin needs some tip money!! 💰
Oh Dylan.....we just love you !!!!
Good advice. I am very committed to tipping well for good service, but not a dime for poor or no service. When someone acts like they resent doing even the minimum required for their job, or they just plain don't do their job, I don't see why I should give them money for it. OTOH- if I get great service I will tip BIG, and often really BIG. I had one waiter on RCL, though, who shot himself in the foot. Tall Jamaican guy with a heavy accent who actually gave pretty good service, BUT starting about 3 days from the end of the cruise he started using the sentence "Think about that when you leave my EXTRA gratuity" about every five minutes. I mean every time he refilled your water glass it was "Think about THAT when you leave my EXTRA gratuity." Well, I had intended to leave him something extra as he had given pretty good service, but after 3 days of his soliciting "EXTRA GRATUITY", I soured on it and did not leave it for him.
I'm with you Casey !!! We do appreciate , " above & beyond service " but, boy 'o boy.......that waiter on RCL really would have annoyed me too !!! NO TIP FOR HIM !!!!! LOL
I love watching your videos! We will be taking our first cruise to Alaska on the Ruby Princess on August 25th and have learned so much from your light-hearted videos. Cruising with the two of you would be a blast.
Thank you so much. So glad we could help. Hope you have a blast on your cruise on Ruby!!!!
Just found Frank's tales from the high seas series. Your stories are great. Just goes to show that stupid people are everywhere. Love the story about the Valentine Bitch.
LOL. That was a good one!!
Thanks for the video! I was ripping a little way too much... but you all have explained it very well to me now...so this xmas in my xmas cruise, I know to give half plus a gift (my own idea) 1st upon meeting and then after my cruise give the remaining tip👍🏾
Awesome !!
You guys crack me up!!
We aim to please !!!
Love a good tipping tip. :)
Thanks
I love your idea of carrying a few extra dollars and a small thank you card to thank someone 'on the fly.' There have been several times where we encountered great service and couldn't find them again later to properly thank them!
Thanks so much........it takes all the awkwardness out of the equation and allows you to immediately thank them on the spot.
I just subscribed a few days ago and I can't get enough of you two! Thanks for all the fabulous advice! My sister and I are taking our mom on the NCL Dawn in March and it's all so new to us with cruises. Thank you for all the info and the laughs! Xoxo
Awesome !!! The NCL Dawn is newly renovated and is the sister ship of our FAVORITE......NCL Gem. We're glad you like our videos and welcome you to the Cruising with Wheels family. We post videos every Tuesday & Thursday & alternating Saturdays (Tales from the High Seas). And even though we leave on the NCL Jade on Oct. 26th.....we have spent the last month filming / editing for your pleasure some great videos, while we're gone. We'll be vlogging while on the Jade, so you will practically be with us......as we show you what happened during our cruise.
I love it all! Can't wait!!!!!!
I had learned about tipping on the first day of meeting my cabin steward from Cruise Tip TV (I thought that it's very gracious to do so), but I had no idea whether I should tip again at the end of the cruise if the service is good (I asked, but did not get an answer.) Thanks for sharing the info here.
I also think the Thank-You card is a great etiquette to employ. I am going to copy you guys on my upcoming cruise in June ... 2018 (so far away, sighhhhh.)
June will be here before you know it and you, as well as us....will be sailing away !!! Glad we could help you with the " tips " !!!
most of my money that I save on my cruise is tip money. I use a walking cane and I don't plan on doing anything so I tip everybody who play a part in my vacation. it starts at the airport and ends at the cruise port and in between. During my cruise these sweet people definitely get extra. Love you guys.
That is so great of you ! The crew members work so hard all week long....cruise after cruise. They deserve it !!!
This is such an amazing idea
Thanks!!
Thank you for this video I’m going on my first cruise this oct. In the perfect handicap room. You have taken a lot of anxiety away.
Along with my cabin card, I stash my incidental tip money in my lanyard. Makes it easy to tip. I ALWAYS tip my cabin steward/butler a nice “bribe” on the first day.
Yeppers .......exactly what we do !
I prepay everything up front but on my next cruise I'm going with you Thank You card idea, what a lovely idea! I also like the half up front, half at the end for the cabin steward. Great advice, thank you!
You're welcome !!
Great video 💚
Thanks !
What a good idea
It is !!! And these crew members deserve it !!!
Thank you for the tipping segment!
I kind of figure the “movement” with thank you envelopes at the bar pool area, I’m sure many are not buying drink packages for a family of 6!
😂😂😂😂
You never know!!
Great advice-as usual! I also wanted to add, for those traveling with kids- to not forget the crew staff at the children’s activity center. Not only do they do a great job, but after much research, it is my understanding that they’re not included in the ‘general’ distribution of tips. (Guess it’s b/c not everyone travels with children.) I have 1 child, and usually give $50 to the director at the kids center on the end of our cruise. Cruise vacations, are hands down, or families favorite type of vacation, we all have a great time - my daughter always raves about the activities at the kids center and my hubby and I get to enjoy some adult time. NCL’s kids center even has meet/greet time with the Nickelodeon characters that kids love so much, like Sponge-bob and Dora!
They are a god send !!
You guys make me laugh!! 😉
That's what we want......cause it's better than crying !!!!!
As usual, you both give great advice. I've found a few extra bucks here and there are the best money spent on a cruise! I have researched heavily life on a cruise ship. A common pay to the non officers that help you everywhere all day long is something like $700 for working 7 days a week 10 or more hours per day.
I think many who go down and reduce their automatic gratuities are just cheap by nature and search their whole cruise for some excuse to do so and still feel good about themselves. To me this is very said bordering on pathetic. You rightfully mentioned they are hurting everyone else even if they had a grip about one particular person.
I give the bar staff that do a good job for me $5-10/day and it is well worth it. I'd rather get a few well made drinks than 10 watered down drinks with all the extra sugar. After day 1, they will remember you and have it ready when you sit down! I also agree with about the Porters. Oddly, in NY getting on the Gem, they seemed to be tipped less than in, say Miami, I thought this was odd as tipping is usually very common there. I usually tip my steward $40 for a a good job and $20 for an okay job at the end. I do understand your method and sometimes if I have bought a bottle for the room might give them $5 at the beginning asking them to keep the ice full and then tip them the same at the end. I kind of feel this may make them better down the line, not sure if I'm right. I usually leave $5 on the table in the MD for good service as well.
I don't think anyone should feel bad for not tipping above the standard daily gratuity though. I feel I have been fortunate in life and $100 or so extra on a 7 day cruise will benefit the lives of these guys and gals who make the trip so great so much more than it will make a difference in my life. I hope you guys don't mind but I have noticed a few questions regarding cruising with a handicap on other channels and referred them you way.
Thanks boat lover !!!! You, Kevin and I have the same philosophy on tipping. The crew works so hard all day, all week......week after week. Above & beyond service should be rewarded, I think, as well as pre-reward as incentive to get exactly what you're looking for (good drinks, special attention, extra help, good info) And thanks for the referrals !! Anytime someone needs info on handicap traveling.........we're the team !!!
U got the jewelry kevin
Lol. Love u guys
Thanks !
Great information...and I don’t even go on cruises!👍
Thank you so much Sandy!!

That was actually very helpful. Being Canadian, we aren't used to tipping every person we encounter. LOL I do tip my hairdresser, wait staff and the like, but tipping here also depends on whether the person earns a tip. Tipping was never expected until a few years ago, when things seemed to change. It was an extra thank you to a certain person for doing an extra-special job, like a monetary compliment. Now it's expected and divvied up, which isn't how tipping was originally done. Too often it's used by companies to augment wages... and frankly, I think that companies should be ashamed of themselves for this attitude. I've seen owners of high-end restaurants take half of the tips and then share the rest with the staff. That to me is disgusting, but it's apparently not unusual. I've never been a stingy tipper, but I hesitate to tip as much as I used to because I know this. But that's me and I have to accept that this is how things are in today's world.
At any rate, thank you! The information in your video will be very useful when hubby and I finally take our first cruise (I'm planning for 2019). Having prepared thank you cards is a truly great idea and solves the dilemma of how much, when, and all that. I wonder though, how much cash should we be carrying for the extra tips? I know you said "what your comfortable doing" but would, say, $100 in small bills be enough?
Glad you enjoyed the video !!! I totally agree....tipping should be earned and it's a shame that some companies pay such low wages that their employees have to count on tipping in order to survive. I think $ 100 is plenty....it's pretty much what we take.
Thank you! That makes it easier to plan for that part. Being "old" (currently 74 and 67) and on limited incomes, means we have to plan for everything but I am determined to cruise at least once before we get too old to travel. :)
That's awesome !!
Y’all are a beautiful couple .. I love ya !!!!
Thanks Andrea !!!
Planning to tip extra here and there to make me and the people who have made my vacation better...love the pre made thank you cards for general use...planning to random tip some cruise staff like public area cleaners....or cooks making your crepe or ice cream sundae with the sprinkle you wanted...just have fun...remember your ON the cruise not WORKING IT..... splash a little cash. Come on enjoy the ride....
NICE
I dont mind tipping. However, I would love if it was just added into the cruise costs so there wasnt the ackward last night of the cruise.
After the cruise lines charge you the standard automatic gratuity (part of your cruise cost) , sometimes ya just have to have a few bucks handy & on the down low, discreetly slip a bill here and there.
What happens on the last night?
I think everyone is clear below, but maybe not. We pay for our tipping before we make final payment - like with Celebrity and NCL, I pay for the tipping. HOWEVER, we do like you guys do, we tip our room steward, our butler, concierge in an envelope at the end of the cruise, on top of it. The tipping the cruises collect pre-cruise is such a small amount. I like the idea of a thank you note, though! I will do that next time. I mean we always extra tip, the amount; however, depends on the level of service I've received. The other thing we do, if we spend a lot of time at a particular bar, is tip our favorite person bringing us drinks, like at the Sunset Bar on Celebrity. We will give him $20 first or second day and then like every two-three days after that, tip them another $20 and that at the end another $20. We receive amazing service! We spend a lot of time at the Sunset Bar because DH is a cigar smoker. :) .
Our friends Darlene & dave that travel with us do the same thing at the bars.
Nice job. Don't forget the mandatory gratuities on drinks. 15-18%. Even when u get a "free" drink package as part of the cruise you may need to pay the gratuities on the package. This is the case for at least NCL.
Thanks !! Gratuities show up everywhere !!!
Thank you for the ‘thank you’ card idea! Do you sign your names to the card, or just a simple, “thanks for great service”?
You're welcome !! We just sign our first names & cabin # & a small note.
I love taking $2 bills for tips, you get quite a reaction!
The best!
Frank and Kevin do you have recommendations on transportation from the Port of Miami?
If you're talking about transport from Port of Miami to the airport........Does your cruise line offer their own bus transfer (which we have used before on Carnival) Also, we'll be arriving back at the Port of Miami on 11/06, when our cruise aboard the NCL Jade ends........and we now use a private car service: GroundLink (it's easier with my wheelchair & offers more privacy) We have also used a taxi in the past......but be sure to use your cell phone GPS, so they don't take you on an " expensive ride ". LOL We generally look at the cost $$ of each option and weigh the pros & cons of each. Have you watched our video: Ground Transportation & Cruising, for ideas ? czcams.com/video/En-NoQ01AJY/video.html
I have been looking at cruises that cruise nz and they charge a cruise fee that isnt actually cheap but still say that gratuities are extra. Also i found cruise price was in nzd or aud but the gratuities were in nzd. Our money here in nz is only worth like 60cents to the dollar so its a lot more.
I also got told that the amounts went by rank. If you get the best service from the person who looks after your room and they have the lowest rank then they get the least. You should be able to decide who you tip and how much.
Yes...there is a lot of controversy regarding this tipping issue.
Hello Kevin and Frank! My partner and I are going on Alaska cruise this June and I availed for the all ultimate beverage package as part of free at sea promo. NCL already charged me a mandatory beverage gratuity of $89 per person plus the regular prepaid service charge of $189 for our cabin. That’s total of $367 and that’s quite a lot for gratuity I find for two of us on a 7 day cruise. I’m just wondering if staff on the bars expect a little something after we order our drinks.
You have already paid your beverage gratuity but if you feel like tipping the bartender more you may.
Do cruise lines count disembarkation day a a tip charge day?
I also think 18% is a bit excessive for mixing someone a cocktail or pouring them a beer at an on ship bar or lounge.
We calculated our June 2018 Alaska cruise gratuities. 6/02 - 6/09/18 - though it's actually 8 days here.....the cruise is listed as a 7 day cruise and if you divide 7 into what we paid, it comes out to what they charge per cabin, based on double occupancy. So, no disembarkation day.
I know this is almost a year late, but I have to share my experience in New Orleans. We just got back from a 7 day cruise to the Bahamas. We always tip $2 per bag going on the boat. We both only had 1 bag. Unfortunately, my husband spent all the small bills in the Bahamas( maybe on beer? ) 😁 He only had 20s. I didn't realize this until we got a Porter. He took our 2 bags through customs extra fast, and then put the suitcases on the curb, while my husband got the car. When he showed up for the tip, and my husband said he only had a 20, could he make change?
The porter said he didn't have change??? Now I realize... that was a bold-faced lie, but we were hot, tired, & ready to go, so he got the 20. if we have been thinking straight, we could have asked another Porter or someone else for change.
I wish him no bad luck but I think Karma will visit him. Lesson learned. Have plenty of ones and fives...Thank you guys.
My front shirt pocket is always loaded with ones & fives !!
Should I tip the person in the ship casino every time they bring me a drink? Good lesson on tips!
You've already paid the gratuity % on the drink....even with the drinks package if you got that.....but throwing them an extra tip is up to you.
If I have paid gratuity in advance ..tipping is my discretion and my waiter has to earn it
Absolutely right !!
What bothers me is that the cruise line charges tips even on small children staying in the cabin. I don't mind paying the tips for the adults, but not for the small children. Thanks for your tips.
Thanks !
Thank you for your tips, I’m from Australia and I would like to tip on my up coming cruise. I love the thank you cards idea.
Thanks so much
Many of the staff on cruise ships are depending on personal tips. They have many responsibilities and heavy workloads with little compensation and free time. What is confusing to me is figuring how much to tip is appropriate.
Whatever you feel you are comfortable tipping would be considered appropriate and appreciated.
Great idea, I am on carnival you know if I am going to get a staff member assigned to my room or will they rotate?
You will have the same cabin steward for your entire cruise.
Cruising with wheels awesome thanks. I worked in service before
Cruising with wheels I have worked in service before and come to appreciate tipping it makes me feel better knowing a few dollars went towards the one actually doing the heavy lifting.
Tipping is such a big deal. The cruise lines do not properly compensate the crews. After years of seeing demanding passengers at the desk, removing their tips on the last day of the cruise, I had a tee shirt made that I wear on the final day. It says, Tipping is not a city in China! Rigby and I send love.
The crew deserves SOOO much more !! They work so hard. Great idea on the t-shirt !!
If the airport walk with the wheelchair is long or has some bag delays while the skycap waits or they pick you up right at the curb and help with the checkin process what would you add for a tip? Cyndi is now doing wheelchairs for the terminal and we want to be good customers.
I'd say for all that, about $20
Thanks!
welcome
What does link above mean. New to this
When we do our videos, we sometimes reference a previous video we've done or are including some information from a website and we put the website .com link in our videos, so our subscribers can click on it and get more info.
I understand that the cruise line has to take the gratuities out semi-automatically from the passengers because so few cruisers would are willing pay them consistently. I do disagree with the prepaid tipping for the back of the house. I don't remember it being this way in the past (10 years ago or so). I feel strongly that they should pay their unseen employees out the cruise fare profits and let me at my discretion pay the employees that i directly interact with.
I go down to guest services and pull all of the prepaid tips and use them to pay the "interacting crew", plus more out of my pocket, and the best service gets the most, although everybody usually generously tipped. How do I know who gets what behind the scenes? I don't, but their supervisors do, so they should pay them accordingly. I do this system and I still feel a little bit guilty about it though-i really shouldn't.
Tipping IS a very personal issue....and everyone feels differently about it. We just wouldn't want to take tip money away from, let's say...the crew member that vacuums the ship all night while we're sleeping.....or the ones that keep the windows clean and bright. Just because we don't interact with them...doesn't mean they work any less hard than the ones we meet with one-on-one during the day at a restaurant, bar or in our cabin. As for the cruise line's policies.....they are what they are.
So the singles are not in a thank you card but 5's and higher are (I don't get out much😖...ever🤦)
XOXO
How do they know you are planning to give the other half at the end?
They don't. $25 up front to say a "Pre-Thank You " for taking care of us. If they do a good job.....then on the last day, we give them the final $25 envelope.
It's only uncomfortable not to tip if you come from North America. I have no problem leaving the $14.50 on the account but that's a high amount daily and apart from the room steward there will be no extras. YMMV I can see the point though if you need some extra help with bags etc.
Yes...tipping is very different from other parts of the world.
Frank, when Kevin cuts your hair, do you have to pay him extra? For a "finder's fee" ?
Kevin gets lots of " fees " !!! They're called cakes, pies, muffins, cookies, lasagna, chicken french, beef stroganoff .........need I say more !!!! LOL
Do you put your room number of thank you cards?
Hi Dottie !! Yes we do. When we write out our little thank you note and sign it...we put our cabin # on the bottom.
I have a question when you go to the bar and you get one drink each how much would you tip them and also the prepaid gratuities do the bartenders get it get them too? You know how they have those things in the shop before you go on the website to decorate and such is it worth it because I’m thinking of doing it for our anniversary since I didn’t do it last year I completely blanked out last year to do it is it worth it
If you purchase a pre-paid drink package......you don't have to tip (it's included) However.....if you're just buying drinks, here & there....we usually tip $ 1. The bartenders will get a % of the pre-paid gratuities, based on their OTHER jobs that they do onboard...not for working the bar. We have never purchased the room decoration package before.....but I feel it might be worth it, cause if you want it, then it's worth it. We'll find out soon.......don't tell Frank I purchased it for his birthday cruise !!!
Cruising with wheels Yeah last year for a honeymoon I was going to do it but it’s totally skipped my mind but I’m gonna surprise my husband with that and it comes with a champagne bottle so definitely well worth it but that’s so sweet take lots of pictures I can’t wait to see them all
Does it matter if you tip in CAD or USD?
Any extra given, we're sure is appreciated.
How about tipping on excursions?
We tip on excursions if the tour guide does a good job at narrating the trip...and of course whoever assists Frank on the wheelchair lift.
Paying a tip is supposed to be for receiving exceptional services not a way for employers to rip off there workers.when I have worked in hospitality I believed that I was being paid to do my job to the best of my ability if someone says thank you to me that’s fine but if someone tried to tip me it would be embarrassing and I would find it demeaning.i would much rather pay a higher cruise fare and not have tipping at all unless I chose to. Paying for a high priced drinks package and then having to pay 18% each time I get a drink is frankly robbery and shouldn’t be allowed.
I think it is extremely underhanded and sneaky of these companies who sell these cruises and don’t tell people about all these extras until after you sign up.yes I know the information is out there if you really look but it should be illegal not to talk about those costs when you book your cruise I shouldn’t have to ask. I believe a lot of cruise lines don’t tell people up front on purpose until you have paid your money and then you a guilted into paying gratuities and tips. Here’s my tip pay people a decent wage don’t make them beg and be reliant on others largesse to make up there pay it’s demeaning to a persons dignity
If only......in a perfect world !
The people who handle the luggage are called porters
Thanks. I realized when I was editing. I had a brain fart. LOL
I can agree on all the people you talk about for tipping, except they people at guest services they are ship officers.... Well paid ship officers.
Guest services staff are NOT ship officers.
@@Cruisingwithwheels ok I'm not sure if they are officers, but what I saw they had white uniforms with bars on the shoulders.. If that's not an officer those year in the Marines I was saluting the wrong people. If anyone should get a tip it's the guys in the laundry department.
It is possible that the manager of the area is an officer. However, the guest service staff are not officers. Furthermore, may we point out that the Marines and a cruise line are very, VERY different organizations.
@@Cruisingwithwheels that whole saluting thing was a joke, I know the younger crowd has lost the ability to laugh. Please tell me us older crowd can still see something funny. I'm going on the Harmony in a few weeks and I really want to find out who exactly are considered ship officers. You see a whole bunch of people walking around in white uniforms, but like you said it's that considers to be ship officers or is that just management?
