CELEBRITY has confirmed it will
raise the recommended gratuities
for staterooms, but has advised
if guests prepay their tips before
the adjustment takes effect on
14 Jun, they can do so under the
current recommended guidelines.
Gratuities are added
automatically but are not
compulsory and once on board,
guests can choose to change or
remove the amount from their
account.
The cruise line said the
adjustment has been made to
“help bring Celebrity in line with
its competitors” and recognise
the work of on board staff.
Last month Carnival Cruise Lines
in the US raised its daily gratuity
charge by about 8% (TD 09 May).
