We are cruising with you! Looking forward to our first Celebrity cruise and sky suite! See you soon! Safe travels!

We upgraded to a suite guarantee from a veranda and paid the difference. We received all the perks. It’s all relative to what price was originally paid and the cost of the suite guarantee. For us it was a better deal than move up because there was a price drop on suite guarantee. Good Luck!

I upgraded to an AI fare, so perhaps they system has not caught up with my upgrade. A charge for gratuities is not on my invoice, only on my Celebrity account when I log in. Thanks for the info; I will double check the situation!

My OBC was not reduced nor my credit card charged. I think I have my answer that gratuities should be included so will check with my vacation planner tomorrow. Thanks for your help!

Thank you for the response. I just noticed them when I logged into my Celebrity account. We were originally in an infinite veranda, but upgraded to a guarantee suite ( not move up).

We are booked in a sky suite in March and gratuities were just charged to our account. Are gratuities different than tips? I was under the impression gratuities/tips were included for Retreat cruisers. First time on Celebrity and looking forward to it! Will definitely bring cash for other tipping as needed. Thanks for any input.

Fantastic review! Loved all the photos. Thanks so much......Sailing on Apex and Celebrity for the first time next month.

I also just got the move up offer prompt for our March 18 cruise. Currently have a midship prime veranda. Minimum offer is $150 pp. for upgrade. I don't like the idea of not knowing where my stateroom will be, but Blu dining and spa amenities would be nice. Since it is spring break week, the ship will likely be full and I am thinking it may even be hard to get in the thermal spa spaces. Still thinking about it!

Appreciate the review! Lots of good tips; sailing in March! Our first time on Celebrity too.
