pre-paid gratuities and drinks packages

[jml783107]

I have booked my drinks package (premium alcohol) and I've also paid my gratuities up front. PLEASE can somone tell me if I should expect to pay much more once on ship. I've read you have to pay for drinks brought to your room?????? Do you have to pay for room service or is that included in the prepaid grats???? Can anyone think of any thing else I will be liable for charges for??? I have also paid for 4 excursions up front. It has all helped with the planning but want to be aware of any expenses I would class as unexpected. More than happy to tip extra for those who go over and above their call of duty though :)
Many thanks.

You do not specify, but based on several of your comments, I think you are on the wrong board. Thisis for Cleebration Cruise Line. As you make reference to "beverage packages" I am going to assume you are on Celebrity. If my assumption is correct, yo do not have t pay an additional charge for a drink just because you want to bring it back to your stateroom. Drinks you order from your room are not included in beverage packages, so maybe that is what you saw or heard. Food ordered through room service is included in your cruise fare, but a small cash gratuity is usually given.

Sounds like you have most of your expenses covered. When I order room service, I usually tip $1 -- with every thing you've prepaid, you should not have any extra charges. If you want a special service, like ice in your room at all times, give the cabin steward $10 or $20 up front. It's a small price to pay to have ice ready and waiting any time day or night. Enjoy your cruise.
