fluffybunny22 Posted January 20, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I posted another thread about how we just discovered today that my in laws cabin got upgraded when it wasn't supposed to be. This caused my husband to do some deep diving in the cruise personalizer and he asked me why I had prepaid our son's gratuities. I haven't but for some reason his is showing as being paid. I know I didn't do it because I have a pretty good OBC I was planning on using for tips. Is there any way to figure out how these got paid?

The bookings sure sound like a mess. 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB_NJ Posted January 20, 2020 #3 Share Posted January 20, 2020 On one of my Princess cruises and on a Cunard cruise I ended up with prepaid gratuities and no idea how it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call and get it straightened out while there are still cabins available. Paid grats are part of some promotions.

ToniOrc Posted January 20, 2020 #5 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Don’t know if this applies to you but at the moment the deal is £35 for premium drinks package, Wi-fi and gratuities all paid. Might be that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tak8 Posted January 20, 2020 #6 Share Posted January 20, 2020 The upgrade is obviously annoying. Paid gratuities from the gratuities fairy seems like a good thing. I'd like to meet him or her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the BSE allows you to add things to original bookings without changing the original fair, just paying for the new items you want. We just added the beverage package+wifi+gratuities for $40 per day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just added the beverage package+wifi+gratuities for $40 per day Unfortunately it doesn't offer a cheapo add-on for just WiFi. We already have TA OBC, gratuities, and PBP (booked with the online/brick and mortar TA that offers their package each year shortly before Princess offers the Sip and Sail). We have a B2B2B - 33 days - booked on Sapphire for November/December but will just be using our free minutes (650 each). I'd love to have the always-on MedallionNet access but I'm probably going to be too cheap to pay for it. The add-ons with the current sale are great prices but there isn't one for just Internet access. (Sapphire is due to get MedallionNet on July 27 and access should be great around Southern Australia and New Zealand. Yellow Fish reported fantastic speed and connectivity on Ruby earlier this season.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
