I am new to Celebrity and have 23 cruises previously, nothing higher than a balcony cabin. I am solo
I am also a newbie to a suite, a treat!!
My understanding is suite guests are provided with a butler.
Questions.
Is the butler assigned to a few cabins or the whole retreat?
Is the butler a replacement to the cabin steward and it only a title upgrade?
Tipping (And I don't want this thread to get into a tipping conflict)
When I move from Aqua Class to a suite, the daily tip increases, as part of the AQ fare the tipping was included, when you go to the suite, does the difference get added to my on-board account bill daily or the whole amount for the week?
I usually tip the steward $100wk above the standard ship gratuities (please don't debate this is my choice and I feel comfortable but it is what I can afford assuming I have had great service which I usually do), if there is a butler as well, is that included in the extra suite cost of tipping?
If not included, I am looking for a guideline to extend to them at the end of the tip over and above the steward for both scenarios- if there tip is included and if it is not?
Again I am not sure what to expect. Everyone has their own opinion and I respect what is comfortable for you.
