hulamoon Posted November 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2023 It's been a long while since I've cruised. I noticed some TA websites list suite amenities as including tips but X website doesn't mention it anywhere I could find. It used to be drinks, wifi and tips. Can anyone clarify the current status? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichYak Posted November 28, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) It used to include premium beverage package, premium wifi, OBC, and tips. Now it's just premium beverage package and premium wifi. Edited November 28, 2023 by RichYak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbenboys Posted November 28, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Might TA's have cabins on hold from before Oct 4th? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulamoon Posted November 28, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I just booked and the TA told me X changed it last month. We are jumping on last minute to use about to be expired credit. It's off topic but what is a move up 4% for Elite Plus? I remember move up but not this part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted November 28, 2023 #5 Share Posted November 28, 2023 There is at least 1 TA which I believe includes tips as part of the amenities they add along with a smaller amount of OBC. These come from the TA, not Celebrity. I'm pretty sure that any group space not named by the end of October reverts to the new AI rules. As far as the MoveUp question. Elite Plus gets a 4% bonus added to their bid. If they bid $100 pp it's considered a $104 bid when compared to other bidders. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miched Posted November 30, 2023 #8 Share Posted November 30, 2023 They increased the gratuities for the retreat cabins and cut the services. Gratuities were included along with some OBC in the price of a suite. It has been eliminated for all new bookings. It was the little things like a glass of bubbly, and a rose for the women when you embarked that made Celebrity special and above the rest of the mass cruise lines. No longer. X has lost its luster and class. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
