classic beverage package question

[mgf316]

Hello everyone I been on many cruises but I never cruised celebrity. My question is when you get the classic beverage package as a perk do you have to pay gratuities or are the gratuities already included? Also it says up to a $9 drink then list certain liquors and beers. Are there beers over $9? if there are other beers under $9 that are not on that list can I get those? Thanks for the info and sorry if this has been asked before

gratuities are already included.  If you want something more expensive than your package allows, you pay the difference plus 18% tip.

Yes, some of the craft beers could exceed the limit.

Is the 18% on the entire amount or just the difference between what the package covers and the price of the beverage?

If the "Classic Package" covers up to 9.00. You purchase a 15 dollar glass of wine. You pay the difference of 6.00 but is the 18% on the the 6.00 difference or on the entire 15.00.

Thank you again for more clarification

18% of just the difference - your $15 glass will have a charge of $6 x 1.18 = $7.08
