The general consensus is about $100 per person for a 7 night sailing. Some tip a little below that. Some tip way above that. Matt 1 Quote
WAAAYTOOO Posted January 7, 2020 Report Posted January 7, 2020 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
rjmols Posted January 7, 2020 Report Posted January 7, 2020 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 ! SweetPea 1 Quote

BB1 Posted January 7, 2020 Report Posted January 7, 2020 Out of curiosity, what do people tip the concierge in the suite lounge? Quote

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. rtread, Zipitidoda and SweetPea 3 Quote

LOL I was wondering about the genie also. Being mere balcony cruisers we tipped our guy $100 and I thought that was generous. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote

Ogalthorpe Haywood Posted January 8, 2020 Report Posted January 8, 2020 This is something I’ll never have to worry about. Regular balcony rooms are enough for me. Fuzzywuzzy and Zipitidoda 1 1 Quote
