How much do you have to pay in tips

[jenny25]

We are going on the Mariner in June and would like to have our tips set aside right from the beginning so it wont be charged on our seapass.1st time cruiser's here so how much $$ do we give to each if we want to leave cash? We are in a standard room.

The gratuity is automatically added on to all bar and wine service so you have no choice about paying cash for those tips. But, for the rest of the tipping guidelines, they are as follows: dining room waiter - $3.50 per day per guest; stateroom attendant - $3.50 per day per guest; assistant waiter - $2.00 per day per guest and headwaiter - $0.75 per day per guest. If service is above and beyond, increase tips accordingly. Also, if you order room service, don't forget to tip the person who delivers it. I usually plan on $1 per person order.
