Normal
One thing I do when I'm first shown my room is to pull out a decent tip for the room steward. Tipping well at the beginning of a cruise (and again at the end) has alwayspaid off in the form of extra-special service.I bring out a ten or a twenty (some may think this is a lot, but sometimes it pays off in dividends, especially on longer cruises), as though I'm going to tip the steward, and then I do a quick check of the room to see if everything is in working order (I do this in hotels too). Once, we needed extra pillows and a quilt, and the bath had no shampoo or soap. When the steward saw I was planning on tipping him, he had everything accomplished in about three or four minutes. THEN I tipped him. I was treated like royalty after that.I do plan on using the tip trick and checking my bedsheets this time, as well.
