The general consensus is about $100 per person for a 7 night sailing. Some tip a little below that. Some tip way above that. 1 Matt reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WAAAYTOOO 7,636 Report post Posted January 7 Depending on what service was provided, we generally tip between $500-$700 for a 7 night cruise. It’s just the 2 of us. In the past, when we have had the Genie arrange large get together for us, we have tipped a bit more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjmols 2 Report post Posted January 7 We tipped our Genie $500 (we are from the UK and not really used the US tipping thing) Anyway we thought it was sufficient but he didn't even say thank you so I presume he was expecting a lot more than that ! 1 SweetPea reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the Oasis and Quantum class ships, there are high level suites (Star Class suites) that have, as part of the service/amenities, Royal Genies. They are personal assistants to the suites and provide extra services like reserving personal seats, making reservations, expediting certain activities, etc. 3 Zipitidoda, SweetPea and rtread reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL I was wondering about the genie also. Being mere balcony cruisers we tipped our guy $100 and I thought that was generous. 1 WAAAYTOOO reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here, although we are in a lowly Jr Suite for my 2022 Oasis sailing we do not get a genie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
