WHAT’S INCLUDED ON CELEBRITY CRUISES
Accommodations are part of your Celebrity Cruises fare. Your total cruise cost for a Celebrity Cruise will largely depend on the stateroom you decide to book. As you might expect, inside cabins are usually the least expensive, while suites and Retreat cabins will cost the most money.
Regardless of the cabin category, cruisers will have access to a variety of included dining options as well. These include casual options like a buffet and poolside grill. Cruisers can also enjoy multi-course meals in the main dining room for no additional charge. Guests staying in some stateroom categories even have their own exclusive dining rooms. Suite guests can dine in Luminae, while AquaClass guests can dine in Blu.
Cruisers also have access to a variety of onboard activities. These activities range from trivia contests and game shows to enrichment opportunities and Beyond the Podium speakers highlighting local history and culture. Other events like dance classes, karaoke, sports competitions, and demonstrations are typically part of the Celebrity Cruises fare as well.
At night, there is a new production show or headliner act in the theater. Additionally, live music can be found throughout the ship. Often, there are solo guitarists, bands, and DJs in the various clubs and lounges throughout your Celebrity Cruises cruise ship.
WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED ON A CELEBRITY CRUISE
While there is a lot included in the price of a Celebrity cruise, not everything onboard is free. For instance, while the desserts and treats at Cafe al Bacio are free, the specialty coffee and espresso based drinks will cost extra. Alcoholic beverages, including beer, wine, and cocktails are not free on Celebrity Cruises either.
It is true that there are several complimentary dining options on Celebrity Cruises cruise ships; however, there are also specialty restaurants. These upscale restaurants do cost additional money, but they are well worth it in our opinion. These venues offer some of the best food at sea and unique dining experiences not found elsewhere else.
The cruise line also offers additional up-charge classes, wine and cocktail tastings, and for-fee events like Bingo. As you would expect, gaming in the casino and shopping in the onboard stores is also not included.
Other additional charges on Celebrity Cruises are the daily service charge, or cruise gratuities. These start at $17.50 a person, per day, with costs being higher for more luxurious cabin categories. Internet access will also cost more on your Celebrity cruise. Likewise, all shore excursions and spa treatments will need to be purchased separately.
CELEBRITY CRUISES ALL INCLUDED PRICING
Celebrity Cruises offers a new more inclusive pricing structure, ALL INCLUDED. This package includes a Classic Beverage package, Basic WiFi package, and Gratuities for one set fare. If you are considering purchasing any of these perks, upgrading to All Included probably makes sense.

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 Onboard activities entertainment and more we
give you our honest look at this fourth Edge Class ship help you decide whether celebrity
