cinnamon Posted August 6 #8 Share Posted August 6 When I agreed my AI price last year the Grats were included. In 48 cruises I have never refused to pay gratuities but I feel really aggrieved that I’m supposed to find an extra $216 pp for something I thought I had already paid for. Celebrity set the price then. How can they change the rules after you’ve agreed the price. On top of the itinerary being changed after final balance was paid, this is just the last straw.

Iamcruzin Posted August 6 #9 Share Posted August 6 Currently on my 4 night Reflection sailing in Oct the Classic drink package is $75.99 with a 15% discount Premium Drink package is $88.99 with a 15% discount $13.99 to up grade from the classic to the premium. I booked all inclusive and got classic drink package and wifi both for $51 a day. It's well after final payment and if I booked now it would cost me $72 daily and the price of the cruise has gone up. I booked a month before final payment was due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you booked prior to I think Nov 2023 and have not done a price adjustment since and you booked AI then gratuities are still included. They are grandfathered for those who booked before the change. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did you book your Cruise? The Rules were changed in late 2023. I booked Cruise on 14 Nov.23 and they were not included anymore. AllIncl now includes Classic Drink and Basic WiFi. As per Cruise Contract, Ports of Call can be changed at anytime. It is not always the Cruiselines choice to do so. Current World Situation requires some adjustments. Look at your Invoice, for Whats included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamrag Posted August 6 #15 Share Posted August 6 (edited) But, are gratuities applied in Australasia? My understanding, perhaps incorrectly, is they are not! Rather, they are included in the price. Edited August 6 by hamrag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather, they are included in the price. Whether grats are included as in Australia/New Zealand or added the total remains the same. Well actually higher with cruises from Aus/NZ as the prices of onboard items like drinks/Spa etc are rounded up to include the tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case would you (or someone currently on a ship) please get a copy of the new prices and splits from Guest Relations and post it as it's always good to have the latest figures. Curious to see how the extra 50 cents for Aqua/Concierge has been allocated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you booked when gratuities were included then there should have been no further price adjustment for you since it only applied to new bookings.

Just to confirm other responses, Always pricing included gratuities for cruises booked through October, 2023. Effective with bookings made in November of 2023, Always pricing no longer includes gratuities, but still includes the classic beverage package and basic wifi. If you booked in October, then gratuities should still be included. Edited August 7 by leaveitallbehind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The schedule shown in a previous post is the total paid. Additional gratuities apply to beverage and dining base pricing purchases.
