Now you frequently hear about resorts and cruise ships having butlers. I get questioned often on what would I do with a butler. After talking to many I find out they are a great perk to have. They will unpack your clothes, make dining room reservations, press your clothes, save you a beach chair, get your bubble bath ready, help you seal the deal by setting a romantic mood for proposal, or set up a romantic dinner from your favorite restaurant in your cabin or suite. Their goal is to pamper you.

Now even at Sandals resorts which include gratuities butlers are still given a little extra. It is suggested you tip $20 a day or more if your service is spectacular. We used them during a European cruise when we were exhausted from flying from the US. Our butler told us to order from any restaurant menu and he delivered everything course by course. We certainly didn’t feel like going to a formal dinner and he was wonderful. Whenever we needed anything he was there.
