Elite Beverage Package Gratuity Question

[MV21]

Hi,

We have cruised before but never on H&A but we've booked a Fjord cruise for next September. We have the benefit of the "Have it all, early booking bonus" so it appears that a few things are included. One of these is the Elite Beverage package.  On the H&A website it states the price of the package PLUS 18% gratuity.  Will we have to pay the 18% gratuity or does that come included too. Also if we were to buy the package on another cruise am I right in thinking that we would be charged the $59 plus the gratuity of 18% making it closer to $70.  

I'm a bit confused as other lines we've been on the gratuity is included in advertised price.

 

Many Thanks

The gratuity is taken care of.  You will owe nothing on your drink.

With HAL's beverage packages, the gratuities are included. The wording on the descriptions is sometimes confusing, but if you wind up doing the math (for fun!) on the regular purchase cost, you'll see that there's 18% tacked on. The Elite Beverage Package is a personal favorite. I think it's great that the early booking promo includes it. You're also getting the better Internet package, so you can annoy your friends with photos of all your potable concoctions.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking forward forward to trying out HAL.
