My wife and I have been Elite Plus for quite a while after doing 68 cruises with Celebrity and we have 14 more booked before the end of 2024. We are definitely concerned about where the new management team appears to be heading so we'll be looking very closely at what's next. The change to drop the gratuities from the "All Included" rate makes no sense as Celebrity spent years convincing everyone that many workers behind the scenes would benefit. Guests paying for gratuities in that package were much less likely to have GR remove those charges as they were embedded in the "AI" rate. If they are charged separately, some will ask to opt out and give their money directly to the crew that they see. If they add the gratuities to the cruise rate, that's not a great idea either. In either case, it seems likely that they figured that they could squeeze a little more out of all of us. We hope that they'll reconsider some of these moves before more of their loyal cruisers (and possibly us) find other options.
