Service Charge - Costa Germany


G.M.T.
 Share

Recommended Posts

Last year Costa lost a court case in Germany whereby the practice of the compulsary service charge was declared illegal and it had to be made a voluntary item that could be reduced or even cancelled once onboard.

 

With effect with the new Costa catalog (due out in a couple of weeks) the Winter 2017/18 and Summer 2018 cruise prices, the service charge is included in the cruise price.

 

This applies for all bookings made via Costa Germany, for German residents and people outside of Germany.

 

So be careful when comparing prices.
