ctnurse Posted February 13, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2019 We have booked a cruise out of Sydney through our US TA. I was looked at the deluxe drink package and the price was $56/day, and in small print on the next page it stated that gratuities were already added to the price? Is this a one time occurrence or is this everyday? And is $56/PP a good price with the gratuities. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Yes you are done, although I have still tipped a dollar or so for 2 drinks if the waiter is good and friendly. Keep watching the cruise planner, if the price drops call and cancel then rebook. Price may drop with a sale. Some ships have better prices and sales then others, same ship may have different prices based on sail sates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what it says, but just check that the grats aren't added when you go to the cart to check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3monkeys4me Posted February 14, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 14, 2019 We paid $49 a day for our cruise out of Sydney in April. It is currently at $53, but has bounced around from $49 to $71 so keep an eye out for a lower price. And yes, for that sailing there was not an additional charge added at check out, our 8 night cruise came to $392. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg2256 Posted February 14, 2019 #5 Share Posted February 14, 2019 We paid $49 for the 21 Jan 19 Ovation cruise with tips included. It was at $56 most of the time but dipped to $49 one short time. It was $71 once we boarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
