US Virgin Islands — Culture
Customs
In the US Virgin Islands, politeness is important. Greet people before asking questions or requesting assistance. Greetings depend on the time of day, with good morning, good afternoon, and good evening being common. You may hear locals thanking 'jumbi' (spirits) for good luck, or blaming them for misfortune.
Tipping
Tipping of 15 to 20% percent is customary for good service. Some hotels and restaurants automatically add a service charge and room tax.
