No, I did not pay or book yet. The advertisement stated free drink and specialty dining. Then when you look at the final price it states over $600 for drink gratuities and $50 for specialty dinning gratuities.

Celebrity free drink package includes gratuities in their drink package. Their 14 day cruises are basically cheaper due to not paying gratuities for the drink package. They should not advertise free drink packages,it is not if you have to pay and additional $690 for gratuity

I was checking on a 14 day cruise with a drink package included. They then state we have to pay gratuities which is $690 in gratuities. It makes the initial price look good until they add the gratuities. This is the first cruise line I have been on that makes you pay gratuities for the drink package.

Thanks for the information

How do I go about renting a regular wheel chair on Celebrity .

I have used Southwest in the past

I have made a flight that left at 11:30. We walk off with our own luggage. Any problem with customs and ship delay will be hard to make the flight

We were on the cruise with them. They did reserve the theater and the sky lounge. They had there own excursions. They did a lot of dancing on the pool deck.

Look on the Celebrity app it should have it there. If you did not do it Celebrity is running a discount also on the App for $6.99 to up grade to premium.

We did the Canary Islands on the Celebrity Eclipse 10 years ago. 14 days out of Southampton. We had a great time, one of the better cruises. Islands we visited Azores (Punta Delgada), Madeira (Funchal) ,Tenerife, Granda Canaria, Fuereventura ,Lanzarote and Lisbon. All the Islands had something very interesting to see and do.

we had the same in Canada ports on NCL in October

Agree but it still is cheaper then buying them separate. I just got back from NCL Joy and I had to pay gratuities on the free drink package $160 for each of us. We did not have to pay extra gratuities on Celebrity and the drink package if cheaper on Celebrity.

I have also seen people eat up to 5 lobster tails at dinner. A cruise line can not do this with the price of lobsters going up. What do you think you would pay for a dinner out for lobster tail. How about the price of a hotel for a night and meals for a day. You will be paying a lot more then what you are paying for a day on the cruise line.

The price of food and all items have gone up. With the price we paid and free drink package, free gratuities $400 on board credit and free Wi-Fi. This was all done before inflation took over. I can see were Celebrity had to make adjustment. I will not be surprised if the prices for cruises in the future with go up drastically. Yes the OV has limited dinner selections but there are enough selections for me.

I sent an email to the CEO
