Classic Beverage Package on the Reflection

[gypsylady]

Four friends are booked on the Reflection for Feb. 7 and all of us are new to Celebrity, having previously sailed several other of the major cruise lines. We have been fortunate enough to book the all inclusive package out of Canada. Three questions about the classic beverage package have come up. First, if all of the gratuities are supposedly included, do we still have to pay the 15% beverage service charge/gratuity at the end of the cruise or is this included? Second, I know that Coke products are included in the soda package. Do they carry diet Sprite? Third, are espresso/cappuccino included in the package or are they extra. We are so excited about this cruise and are looking forward to escaping another brutal winter. Thanks for any help with this.

There is no extra 15% on the drinks but you get a daily service charge (gratuities) this covers the dining room staff, room stewards etc not drinks

 

Yes they have diet sprite and if they run out they use diet Sierra mist but never seen them run out

 

There are certain drinks included in cafe al Baccio, depends on whether you have classic or premium package. It's done on price value, most are included but not some of the frozen/iced coffees and teas.

Little confused perhaps over wording here, as far as I know Celebrity has never had an all inclusive package, I would guess that is TA adverising. If you received as part of your package the classic beverage package it includes the 15% tips for the drinks. If you also received gratuities then you have no further responsibility as far as tips are concerned. If you did not receive gratuities or you didn't prepay them, then you will be responsible for them once you are on board. They will be added on a daily basis and cover dining room staff and housekeeping staff.

Good deal, you're good to go, should have no more tips unless you wish to give something extra for exceptional service. Enjoy your cruise.
