Removed pre-paid gratuity for select dining for older booking.

Just wanted to post up a new thread to let others know that if you're like us and have more OBC then what to do with w/o wading through the discussion of personal preferences.

 

You can now call up celebrity and have them remove the prepaid gratuity even if you have select dining and be charged to room later on the cruise date and use OBC to cover it.

 

I called today (1/23/16) and the (in)famous system would not let the agent do it without switching us to fixed dining, then remove the grats, and switched us back to select.

 

Got the booking confirmation that we have select dining w/o the pre-paid grats.

 

Hope this helps.

Sounds good. Hope the policy gets completely put in place soon.

Thanks for the information. I'd like do that especially because when we booked a couple of weeks ago the agent did not ell us about the gratuities. So when we got our statement I was surprised to see how much higher it was than quoted. When I called to inquire I was told it was the gratuities and that the agent should have told me about them.
