I just asked my two sons and they both remember the full cleans. We used to cruise at the start of the holiday - so used to twice a day housekeeping, and was always relieved at the clean on day 4 but used to moan the trash built up over the days lol

Housekeeping is officially a non-tipped position. There is no expectation to tip them. Some people like to - it’s their choice.

Sorry I'm not into tipping for no or very little service. I will NOT be tipping house keeping if it doesn't happen.

No housekeeping no tips surely? - just leave a few dollars at the end of the trip for the days (if any) they do make up your room and clean.

No, tipping is for good service not basic service.

Oh lol - wasn’t saying that Was seriously wondering if I made it up in my head - but the kids recall.
I couldn’t have been lucky every time though ?
We used to always stay 5 nights Sun to Fri morn when the points midweek were vastly cheaper back then,
We’d go Busch one weekend and Universal the other. That was our pattern. I remember saying the clean has come almost too late ! Lol

For the first time ever I didn’t, I had to ask for clean towels and leave the dirty ones out and our trash was only emptied on request, as we were literally not serviced I felt no need to leave a tip.

Out of interest for those who’ve done cruises (Disney or other CL’s) is this lack of housekeeping apart there as well?
