Concierge Gratuities

Are the Concierge gratuities more than gratuities for balconies? Thanks. I know balcony right now is $13.50 a day per person.

Yes they are more. From the website:

 

$13.50 per person, per day in standard staterooms

• $14.00 per person, per day in Concierge Class and AquaClass®staterooms

• $17.00 per person, per day in Suite Class

Thanks. That's not too bad. I had picked OBC as a perk thinking the gratuities were the same but it's still $20 better to take $300 OBC than Concierge gratuities.

Which is better to take depends on the length of the cruise.

We are concierge too. With prepaid Gratuities. We plan on tipping our room steward but I believe the gratuities are then paid...correct?

Whats the difference of a balcony vs concierge class. This will be our first C3 cruise..Im not sure what to expect..I think a bottle of wine and afternoon desserts? Any difference in room steward service I should know about?

Thank you.

Sparkling Wine

Embarkation lunch in MDR

Savories in the afternoon (plenty of other food available), not desserts

Extra Captain's Club points (don't care)

On M class, the cabin is slightly larger

 

If we get CC it is usually for the location (c1)

No difference in room steward service. CC does have chairs & footstools on the balcony, which IMHO is the only benefit of CC on a S class ship. On M class ships the extra 20 sq ft of space is nice.

Remember that all gratuities are increasing in 2018

If you have prepaid gratuities, you need not tip anything else, all tips for housekeeping and dining service are covered. No need unless you wish to tip more.
