Should I Tip for Cruise Line Room Service if I Have Paid Daily Gratuities?Loyal reader Earl writes: We cruise often and have never used room service. We always pay the required gratuity on embarkation. Should we also pay a gratuity for soom service? If so, what do you suggest? Answer: Yes, you should. Whether your cruise line asks you to pay for gratuities via a charge to your onboard account or by the traditional cash-in-envelopes system, tips for room service are not included in these amounts. According to Linda Garrison, About.com’s Guide to Cruises, tips received from passengers comprise a large part of the income of the hardworking service staff. Please keep this fact in mind when deciding how much to tip your room service waiter.
