Crew appreciation rise per February first 2023?

[Alphen]

Noticed a comment on the social media we cannot discuss, that there will be a $ 0,50 increase on the crew appreciation amount at cruises departing after February first 2023, but cannot find it here, nor at the HAL website (Netherlands).

Thanks, cannot get there, keep being redirected to Dutch HAL website, which does not mention the increase (yet).

Very painfull those $ 3,50 per week on the fare of the veranda's. And that while the CA was included for the adults and already paid for the free cruising grandchildren.  🤣🤣

Sorry bad typist

My cruise departing in February has the gratuities included.  I wonder if they'll want me to pay the difference.

I don't see why they should.  You have grats included, full stop.

Of course I have two cruises booked for Feb!
