Luckynana Posted June 11, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I'm curious how much of a gratuity is charged on the beverage packages. The price for my Allure beverage package is $58 pp per day. Can anyone tell me what the total pp per day would cost? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zekekelso Posted June 11, 2021 #3 Share Posted June 11, 2021 $68.44 total. Per day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tserface Posted June 11, 2021 #4 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Yeah, the gratuities are kind of a hidden cost. The always advertise the prices without including gratuities/service charge, and always put the cost in tiny print in the ads. The cost of gratuities has slowly been inching up over time as well. So, if it says $70 for the package per day, it's really over $12 more. I don't know why they can't just advertise the real cost since there doesn't seem to be any time they don't add on they surcharge. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vacationlover_mn Posted June 11, 2021 #5 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Also, we give at least $1 tip per drink tip, even when we have package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckynana Posted June 11, 2021 Author #6 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Thank you for your responses, everyone. We always have had beverage included on our Celebrity cruises, and in the past we've paid per drink on Royal and buy the cabin liquor setup, but decided to buy the drink package for our Allure cruise next April. I've read that the Oasis Class seems to charge more on their ships. Here's hoping there'll be a sale come this 4th of July?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hammo Posted June 11, 2021 #7 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Just a question related to this - We have the ultimate dining package on an Oasis Cruise which offers a 40% discount on bottles of wine under $100 . Will they then add the 18 % service charge to that , making the discount really 22% ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deliver42 Posted June 11, 2021 #9 Share Posted June 11, 2021 If you get a drink from the robotic bartenders, and don't have the drink pkg, the tip will be added to the cost of your drink by RCCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
