Julma Posted December 14, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I booked an IV on the Ascent with All Included before Celebrity dropped gratuities. I was just awarded a move up to a sky suite. I know I will have to pay the difference, but will I lose the included gratuities all together under the new policy? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it varies. I was surprised to get it so soon out. I put in a low bid (50$s over minimum pp), so was surprised to get it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA Did you have AI before they removed the grats? If so, you pay the difference between original cabin and sky suite at the time of bid acceptance. It'll show on your Visa in the total. If your AI was after the change and it didn't include grats (and you didn't prepay), you will have a daily grat charge applied to your onboard account.

39august Posted December 14, 2023 #6 Share Posted December 14, 2023 So, if my current bookings all include the AI WITH gratuities, I won't lose my gratuities if I make a successful move up bid? I am being very wary of making any changes to current bookings so that I don't lose those gratuities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am being very wary of making any changes to current bookings so that I don't lose those gratuities. That seems to be the answer so far. I would/will bring my original booking with grats included. Since I did move to a suite from an IV, I will be responsible for the difference in tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julma Posted December 14, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I just received an invoice from my TA and it accounted for included gratuities. I was only charged the upgraded amount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filmel457 Posted December 16, 2023 #10 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I’m booked on the Ascent, departing Fort Lauderdale on March 10th. I was surprised to get a Move Up email earlier this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
