mousekeeping
I am asuming that there is no extra charge for "mousekeeping" but a tip is expected, on all ears I read 1dollar a day per person is the minimum, Am I reading this right b/c I want to leave the right amount, to me that seems a little on the low side. Thanks for the help on this.

Re: mousekeeping
I usually leave $2.50 per person each day. While I understand that $1 per person per day is acceptable, I'd rather overtip than undertip for the service they provide.

Re: mousekeeping
We usually tip about $5.00 per day - we are a family of 4 but with two teenage daughters they have stuff all over the place, as much as I pick up there is always stuff around.

Re: mousekeeping
We tip 3 dollars a day for the both of us. We will leave another dollar or 2 if the room is really messy. Make sure you tip on a daily basis, as your mouse-keeper will change during the week.

Re: mousekeeping
We tip between 3 (3 in my family) and 5 dollars a day. We're very tidy and never leave a mess in the room so I think that's plenty. I can't leave the room unless I make the beds and clean up the bathroom and sink area so there's not a lot for mousekeeping to do. I have walked by some rooms and seen a real mess and they earn their money in those rooms.

Re: mousekeeping
We leave about $1 per day/per person. We are also very neat, so basically, they just make/change the beds, clean bathroom and change towels. If you leave stuff in the floor or just toss things around, I would tip more!

Re: mousekeeping
On average a $1 per person per day is what I leave.

Re: mousekeeping
For two adults I leave $5 a day for any stay over 2 days and leave the money on the last day. Also, we don't come close to destroying a room and try to recycle our towels for 2 or 3 days, although many times, mousekeeping has just changed out the towels anyway. there have been a few times we've been around the room when it was being done and they usually don't need to spend more than 15 minutes in our room.
I also tip $2 to valets every time they take my car or bring my car, up from $1 in 2006. Also to be kept in mind, on cruises, the suggested tip for your cabin steward is $3.50 per person per night or $7 for a family of two.

Re: mousekeeping
I usually leave $2 a day per person. We do not have any small children and pickup after ourselves. The only thing that is really needed is the beds to be made and maybe fresh towels. We even put the towels in one pile if they are to be changed.
