price a la carte and typically these prices are between 40 to 60 dollars per person

new in 2023 room service is no longer included in a Celebrity Cruise now there is a room
service charge of 9.95 per room per order with the exception of continental breakfast which remains
free of charge from 6 to 11 am a fixed cost so guests will pay the same fee whether ordering one
dish for one person or multiple separate items for a group with an estate room service will
continue to be complementary for guests of the retreat as well as Zenith Captain club members
Cruise gratuities are service charges that are not included in your standard Cruise fare similar to
a hotel resort fee these additional fees are per person per day dollar amount that are charged to
all guests usually automatically across all statement categories these service charges
are a means to reward the hard-working crew for the excellent service provided during a cruise
vacation recently Cruise gratuities did go up for 2023. now individuals staying in an inside
Ocean View or Veranda will have a service charge of 17.50 per person per day for those staying in
concierge class and aqua class eight rooms the daily service charge is 18 per person per day
while guests staying in the retreat we'll have a service charge of 21 per person per day however if
you book the Celebrity Cruises all included price option these gratuities are included of course if
you'd like to tip any crew members additionally for exceptional service you can certainly do so
you'll need to purchase an internet package if you want to stay in touch with family
and friends as Wi-Fi is not part of the Phoenix Cruise fair and let's be honest almost everyone
nowadays needs some form of Internet celebrity does offer different Wi-Fi packages at varying
prices depending on your needs the basic Wi-Fi is capable of Surfing email and social media however
it does not include streaming or the use of Technologies such as FaceTime the premium
Wi-Fi package includes the use of streaming apps both of these packages are limited and
can be only used on one device at a time pricing for Celebrity Cruise Wi-Fi is 19.99 per gas per
day for basic and the premium Wi-Fi currently goes for 34.99 per gas per day guests should
check their Cruise planner as they can often score discounts when purchasing Wi-Fi pre-crews
Captain's Club loyalty members may receive discounts as well
your Celebrity Cruise will transport you to several exciting ports of call although Celebrity
Cruises does not include any shore excursions as part of the base Fair these additional experiences
are available through the cruise line or through third-party retailers at additional costs
sure excursions can range from inexpensive walking tours to several hundreds of dollars for Unique
experiences the prices are also very dependent on the destination with the Caribbean and
Bahamas tours usually being cheaper Alaska cruise excursions do tend to be among the most expensive
while there are several included activities and entertainment most Celebrity cruise
ships offer additional classes and seminars that can cause an upcharge
these include Mixology demonstrations food and wine pairings hot glass classes Bingo and more
the cost for these optional experiences are 25 or more per person also reships offer a spa providing
a variety of services for additional costs guests can book these experiences such as massages or
Salon Services Free Cruise or law on board many ships also have a thermal Suite this area includes
a selection of relaxing experiences such as saunas steam rooms therapy pools and heated loungers
Cruisers staying in aqua class Suites will have unlimited access to that ship's thermal Suite
however all other Cruisers will have to purchase a pass to access the thermal Suite facilities
like other land-based vacations shopping in the retail stores on
board the ship or ashore or gaming in the casino are all at your own expense
if you would like your clothing wash to press these laundry services will cost you extra money
unless you have loyalty perks with the captain's Club likewise photo packages special celebration
packages and pre or post cruise travel expenses are not included in Celebrity Cruise thus when
calculating your cruise budget you'll need to account for expenses like airfare pre-crews
or post-cruise hotel and transportation to and from the cruise terminal as we mentioned at the
beginning of the video Celebrity Cruises now offers an all-included Cruise fare which was
actually formally called always included the all included rate includes a classic beverage package
a basic Wi-Fi package and gratuities this pricing package is good for all cruises booked
in departing on or after January 9th of 2023 and it's applicable to all stateroom categories
including the retreat it's also available on most sailings except goes to the Galapagos
when opting for this Cruise Fair all gets in the same stateroom must choose this rate
guest staying in the retreat will receive the premium drink package
gratuities unlimited premium Wi-Fi as well as additional onboard credit
yes opting for the all-included price can also upgrade to a premium drink package for 24 per
person per day they can also upgrade from the basic Wi-Fi to the premium Wi-Fi package for 15
per person per day but is it worth it for most individuals to upgrade to the Celebrity Cruises
all included price well when considering this question you first have to look at the retail
cost of each of these amenities currently the classic beverage package is 89 per person per day
as we mentioned before the Wi-Fi is 16.99 per day and for most cabin categories the gratuities will
be 17.50 per person per day to determine if it's good value you need to know the difference between
the cruise only fare and the all-included fare your particular sailing as well as cabin category
now based on our recent research we looked at a variety of different ships sailing dates
and cabin categories to compare that cruise only fare to all included price
and surprisingly for the most part to upgrade from the cruise only to the all-included rate
was about eighty dollars per person per day so quickly crunching the numbers it's easy to see
that if you plan to purchase a drink package on Celebrity Cruises upgrading to the all-included
package is a no-brainer it will basically be getting the Wi-Fi and gratuities for free
of course if you don't drink alcohol then it probably doesn't make sense to upgrade and now
that you know everything that's included in the Celebrity Cruises Cruise it's time to get planning
to help you decide which ship is right for you we highly suggest you check out our celebrity Beyond
Cruise review in that video we detail everything about this brand new ship the dining staterooms
