Maitre D'
is a salaried position. Unless he or she does something "special" for us we don't tip.
Again, if you've left the automatic tipping on you don't need to tip extra to
anyone except Room Service, but on all but one cruise (we had the Room Steward from H**l) we gave the Room Steward extra on top of the automatic tip on the last night of the cruise.
Room service personnel are not included in the automatic tipping and should be tipped a couple of dollars each time they deliver.

Then on the last night it was a $20. We did not tip the Matre-de because we hardly every saw him and one of the few times that we did, I thought he was rude. So -- no extra for him.

Hi Cathy,
Was this
on top of the automatic tipping? If so, I'm sure Anthony was
very happy with you
