Cruisin' Chick Posted March 11, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I’m currently helping -- with some other writers -- to write a guide to cruising. The chapter I’m working on currently is: What is included in the price of my cruise ticket? Hidden Cruise Costs Besides the general things (cabin, food, etc) that are common to most of the cruiselines, I’m researching what each of the majors charges. So I’m checking the lines’ sites and other resources, but I figure you guys will be a great source of info, too. So, if you’ve cruised on Celebrity lately, I would appreciate it if you can tell me free or fee. Also if you get certain items for free if you’re a "Captain's Club" Member. You don't have to tell me how much if it's a "fee." 1. Beverages: sodas, lemonade, hot chocolate, cocktails (the last at Captain’s parties, etc) 2. Speciality Restaurant cover charges 3. Speciality foods, ice cream, etc. 4. Internet use 5. Laundry 6. Sports on board (golf, etc) 7. Activities (crafts, what else has a fee???) – not counting horse racing, bingo, casino 8. Children’s program, in port kid-sitting, equipment (cribs, strollers, etc.) 9. Holiday freebies 10. In-cabin refrigerators 11. Special programming on in-cabin TVs, VCR/DVD loans 12. Special occasions (e.g. birthday cake) 13. Use of the gym, exercise classes 14. Enrichment classes Thank you so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newmexicoNita Posted March 11, 2006 #3 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I think you pretty much have your answer. Most everything other than things like trivia games, basic use of the gym equiptment, etc has some charge regardless of whether you are a member of the Capt Club.
