dalmoradie Posted September 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 9, 2023 New to Celebrity. Just booked an Aqua Class room on the Equinox for the 2/24/24 sailing. On the room details screen it says " Drinks, Wi-fi and Tips included" but on my Add Ons, "prepaid gratuities" is showing meaning I can add it on. If tips are included, why do I need to add prepaid gratuities? Is there a difference between tips and gratuities? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA Celebrity's web page will frequently allow you to purchase things you already have. I have two bookings with Always Included (Drinks, Wi-Fi, and Tips), but I have the option in the cruise planner to buy a drink package. To us the old saying, it's a feature, not a bug... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted September 9, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 9, 2023 No you do not need to add them. The gratuities included with your booking take care of the wait staff, cabin attendant and other housekeeping and dining staff you don’t see. The beverage package included with your booking includes the gratuity on your drinks. If you purchase any beverages outside of your package, book spa services, fitness classes or specialty restaurants there will be gratuity added to those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverlaysup Posted September 9, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 9, 2023 You don't need to add them. This check box is just there and isn't smart enough to gray out when booking. Even after you book, when you log in to manage your reservation, it will allow you to buy a drink package (which you already have as well). The only real decision you have to make is....do you want to upgrade your Classic drink package and basic WIFI to Premium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Virgo Posted September 9, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I ve had that issue many times, seeing gratuities owing. It is Celebrity’s software. If you booked All Inclusive, you don’t owe tips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted September 9, 2023 #6 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Eventually, might also ask you to make dinner reservations. Your dining room, blue, doesn’t take reservations. More IT joy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
