Speaking of gratutities

We are leaving in a couple of weeks. On sea days, we almost always
get room service breakfast. IIRC the people delivering these are not
on the regular pad, as it were, and you should tip them. Am I correct
and if so how much?

Depends on what you order. There is no set rule but the standard I go for is
just coffee or drinks then a buck, drinks and toast or muffin I give $2, for
a full breakfast I give $3-$4 depending on the amount and how well it is
presented. If the waiter is exceptional and sets everything up and does
everything in a professional manner and asks if he can be of further
service, I give him $5.

Thanks We usually just do muffin and toast and OJ route. $2 or so
is fair then.

I had an interesting interaction with our regular waitress one evening.
She mentioned that she had been working room service delivery that
day. I commiserated about the work and commented about the chance to
get some extra tips. She just rolled her eyes. I don't know if that
means they were pooled or that folks are normally cheap.
