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 11,965 Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
rjmols 2 Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share 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 !

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. SweetPea, Zipitidoda and rtread 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 149 Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
