Gratuities

What is the protocol on gratuities onboard celebrity cruises?

They are automatically added onto your account. No need anymore for the tips in envelopes at the end of the cruise. How many remember those days?

They are automatically added to your onboard account, on a daily basis.

Info from the Celebrity website:

 

How are gratuities handled onboard?

For your convenience, we automatically add gratuities for your restaurant and stateroom services to your onboard SeaPass® account on a daily basis in the following amounts, which may be adjusted at your discretion:

• $12.95 per person, per day in standard staterooms

• $13.45 per person, per day in Concierge Class and AquaClass® staterooms

• $16.45 per person, per day in Suite Class

This gratuity is shared by your Dining & Culinary Services Staff, Stateroom Attendants, Other Housekeeping Services Personnel, as well as staff from other departments who work behind the scenes to enhance your cruise experience.

 

At your discretion, the gratuity payments may be adjusted onboard at Guest Relations, in which case they will not automatically be added to your onboard SeaPass® account.

 

An 18% gratuity will be automatically added to all beverages, mini bar purchases, spa and salon services. Additional gratuities may be added at your discretion.

It is a so possible to prepay them, and include them in The cruise fare so it's all taken cAre of ahead of time.

And if you leave the automatic gratuities in place, the staff will happily accept any additional cash tips you wish to give them.
