Tipping on a Nile cruise: Tips & Advice
How often do people leave tips for the crew on a cruise down the Nile?
Tipping is expected in the cruise industry, and passengers are often encouraged to tip to show their appreciation for excellent service. The ship’s crew put a lot of effort into ensuring that the passengers had an enjoyable time while traveling on the boat. Because of this, they see the tips they get as a thank you for all the hard work they put in as an excellent reward for all their hard work.
Should a passenger always say “thank you” when eating on board?
Gratuities are expected, and there is no way around this. Unfortunately, the low minimum wage in Egypt has exacerbated the situation that crew members on ships now think of tipping as a regular part of their pay. Gratuities should not be considered a normal part of the salary. This particular set of events is how things are going now. It is a tricky situation because tips are practically unexpected in the first place. But, as we said earlier, this is not required, and if you feel, which is extremely unlikely, that the crew is not worthy of the tip at the end of the flight, you should tell the cruise manager as soon as possible.
Who or what do you think I should help with the money I’m giving?
At the end of the trip, the tour guide will approach you in a pleasant and friendly way to inquire about the tip, which they will collect from customers until it is dispersed among the staff. Although customers don’t usually talk to every staff member, this information is collected to ensure every member gets something. It is done to make sure everyone on the business team gets something. As a form of tipping, passengers can tip cash directly to the waiter on board. On the other hand, since chefs and mechanics generally don’t tip, this would be unfair to them because they don’t usually tip.
What kind of tip do you think I should give?
There is no proper solution to the question of how much money you should pay regarding the topic, and this is something that you should not state explicitly. On the other hand, if we were to make an informed guess, we would say that every adult in the family needs to pay something within ten euros each day. If you think that’s a vast number, try imagining that there are about fifty other people on the ship with you to make sure you’re having a good time. They will do everything possible to ensure your trip is safe and enjoyable and may help you feel less stressed about it.
