samdarella - you can just give your dining room wait staff an envelope on the last night, and the same for your room steward. I make up little thank -you notes before I leave home and personalize them once we meet everyone. I also make sure they know this is extra for being so special to us, in addition to the regular tips. We always give praise where praise is due (it is important to fill pout the comment cards) - and seldom complain about the other stuff when on vacation. TTFN Jennifer
