Included Gratuities

[harbourside]

Our prices in New Zealand and Australia include all Gratuities.  I have read that  drinks have 20% charge added to them.

So, in fact, we still have to pay extra gratuities.  A bit misleading.

O would, no doubt, claim it's covered in the "small print" somewhere. But I wish UK prices also included gratuities. 

 

By the by, another bit of possible misleading, is when O refers to soft drinks being free. Whilst that includes the likes of sodas, it doesnt include alcohol free beers or wine which are charged at nearly the same extortionate price of the alcohol version.

Perhaps under “Simply More” alcohol free beers and wines will also be “free,” (ignore the fare increases since “Simply More” was implemented).

Maybe the cost  of those alcohol fee  are more than soft drinks even to cruise lines?

 Do other line not charge for those options?
