i.... would tip the bartender he can get you whatever u need
Hi Nancy,Originally Posted by Nancy Marie
I like to get the arrival and departure bundle.
I tip my arrival representative about $10 us ( travel solo ).
I tip the person who watches the bags a dollar a bag - I'd do two if they had to do any lifting or moving
I tip the waitress or waiter a dollar a drink in the lounge
Unassociated with the CMB is the Red Cap Porter who may handle your luggage out to your shuttle or taxi. I tip $2 a bag for this service.
I tip the same for the person who loads my bag into the van.
I tip my shuttle driver $10 each way.
Upon departure, go through the typical airport check in processes, then to security where you present your CMB voucher for the fast track. You have no one to tip up to this point. Once through security, go up the stairs and bear right through the duty free and past several fast food and retail shops.
Approach the CMB reps and present your voucher. They will direct you either straight ahead or towards the elevator/stairs to go downstairs.
I tip the waitstaff or bartender (depending on where I end up sitting) $1 a drink.
If you book an extra service like the spa or something, you would tip the service provider accordingly, but I've not had an additional services.
I like to budget out what I will need and store that amount in a separate envelopes. When the plane is getting ready to decend, I like to take a small pouch (which is holding my "arrival cash" envelope) into the bathroom and put my cash into my pocket so I have it right there... the $10 in one pocket, and the $1's in the other. That way I have it ready and don't have to fumble with my wallet at the airport. I do something similar for my departure. I just don't like taking out my wallet if I don't have to.
Enjoy the services!!!
Wow, so you have already given like $40 in tips by the time you get to your hotel? That just seems crazy to me.
Let's see:
rep: 10
bag watcher: 1
drink: 1
guy who loads my luggage: 2
driver: 10
so... for me, I am out $24 before I get to my hotel. Money I'm comfortable spending while I'm on VACATION....
no tone in your text, but I feel like you are judging .... You can do your vacation however you want. The OP wanted to know... This is just my experience. You can have your own experience and I won't judge you....
also, who am I tipping when I'm sitting on the beach sipping cocktails from my thermos... to me it all evens out
Not judging, it just seems like a lot to tip for a service that you're already paying good money for.
living in the 603, i think you are just more generous than the majority of us. good for you that you can afford that and that is kind of you
Well, I spend 12 months saving,I guess... mostly I see it as courtesy. If someone is pleasant and treats me kindly, like, genuinely kind... I think they deserve whatever I can afford. It's a vacation... When I ride the shuttle to my hotel, I sit in the front seat and chat the driver up the whole way... well worth $10 for him, imo. Ten dollars to greet me with a name placard and graciously escort me through the airport, carry my luggage, make sure my transfer is organized... well worth $10 to me... and a dollar a drink is just my standard. To me... what's a dollar? And to Jamaican, what's $112 or whatever the exchange is.. to me it's about the courtesy of appreciating someone is a small way. I also give $200j for my taxi rides, and I've gotten **** for it from locals... but what am I going to do with 30 j?
Once I get to my place, I'm pretty self sufficient. I eat out but if I'm paying half what I would at a US restaurant, or more! Why not give an extra one or two dollars to the waitstaff?
Why? What do other people tip? ?????
TAH, Thank you.. tone doesn't carry in text... I don't want to create bad vibes!
[QUOTE=TAH;184545]Not judging, it just seems like a lot to tip for a service that you're already paying good money for.[/ service I pay for is the fast track on arrival and the lounge on departure... while not for everyone, it's something I enjoy, esp finally as a solo traveler.
