Ejane Posted March 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 28, 2023 We're sailing on Celebrity Apex in October. We've booked a Veranda stateroom with the All included package (classic drinks, wifi and gratuities). I'm just wondering if I was to book a massage or a Sea Thermal Suite pass would I need to pay the gratuities on top of that, or would the gratuities already be covered in my All Included package? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristapb Posted March 28, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Gratuities on extras like massages are not included in the "All Included" package. Enjoy the Apex! We loved having the four different main dining rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks That is separate from the grats included in AI. The gratuities in AI cover your cabin steward and your servers. And whatever drinks are included in the Classic drink package (or Premium if you upgrade). If you purchase spa treatments or purchase a drink that has an amount above what is included in your beverage package you will pay a gratuity on those.

mrgabriel Posted March 28, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 28, 2023 You will need to pay gratuities for everything extra - spa appointments, drinks that aren’t covered by your package, specialty dining, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare binro01 Posted March 28, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Just know that the spa treatment or anything extra will have that added gratuity automatically added to the receipt you receive. There will be a line for additional gratuity. That line is above and beyond the automatic gratuity they added and 100% discretional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bjahil47 Posted March 28, 2023 #6 Share Posted March 28, 2023 When you pay for them a gratuity is automatically added to the amount. It is not included in the AI amount. If you go to a specialty Restaurant you will also be charged a gratuity. Gratuities in the AI Package are the daily gratuities added for Room Steward, Dining Room Staff, others that share in this and Butler if in a suite. Also, gratuities on beverages is included in Beverage Package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschwa2 Posted March 28, 2023 #7 Share Posted March 28, 2023 All included only includes the gratuities for things included in the fare. Pretty much any service or food or beverage item that you purchase on top of the items included on the fare will have an automatic 18% gratuity added. This includes any purchases or reservations in specialty restaurants. Any time you go over the max allowance on your beverage package drink or beverages not included in your package, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks When going onboard you are leaving EU law so Celebrity (and all other cruise lines also EU lines) can add gratuities to their services. They cannot add later on board gratuities for anything you buy NOW from Ireland online, these prices have to be final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted March 28, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Love the Apex. We have sailed on her three times. We give additional tips to bartenders, $1. per drink and in Specialty restaurants typically $10 -$20 per couple. When I went to the hair salon, also gave additional tips, depending upon the level of service. Also to the cabin attendant. We bring about $150 for extra tipping. Chalk it up to misc.
