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 Link to post Share on other sites
WAAAYTOOO 11,232 Posted January 7 Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
rjmols 2 Posted January 7 Report Share 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 !

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 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. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ogalthorpe Haywood 141 Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 This is something I’ll never have to worry about. Regular balcony rooms are enough for me. Fuzzywuzzy and Zipitidoda 1 1 Quote 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 Link to post Share on other sites
