Hi all.
I frequently cruise with Celebrity Cruises as a solo traveller. I appreciate and understand we pay twice in order to have our own stateroom unless a single room is available. Since celebrity have separated the all inclusive fares you are quoted a price for the stateroom and an add on supplement to have drinks tips and WiFi included at a rate for the entire cruise. For example £400 per person. Sadly, in the case of the single traveller, we are made to pay the same supplement for drinks, tips and Wi-Fi as two people. So I would also be expected to pay £800 extra. Surely this cannot be right and is blatant discrimination against single travellers?
Oddly enough if a single room is available you only are expected to pay one supplement for the drinks tips and WiFi add on ie £400.
Surely paying twice for the stateroom if occupying a regular room should cover the fact you are a single traveller, and you should not be hit again by having to pay double supplement for what is one persons drinks tips and WiFi?
I have been in contact with the Celebrity cruises Executive office and they seemed surprised but have not done anything about it.
