CELEBRITY CRUISES

ABOUT CELEBRITY CRUISES:

Celebrity Cruises offers a premium cruising experience with comfortable accommodation, excellent dining, entertainment and a relaxed atmosphere. The following information will help you prepare for your cruise and understand the services and facilities available onboard.

ONBOARD CURRENCY & PAYMENTS:

The onboard currency on all Celebrity Cruises ships is US Dollars (USD), regardless of the countries visited during your cruise.

Celebrity Cruises operates a cashless system using a personal SeaPass account. All onboard purchases, including drinks, specialty dining, shopping and shore excursions, are charged to this account.

• All onboard prices are displayed in US Dollars (USD)
• A credit card must be registered during online check-in, although payment arrangements can be changed onboard
• Credit and debit card providers may charge international transaction or currency conversion fees
• Onboard accounts can also be settled using US Dollars in cash
• Your onboard spending can be checked through the Celebrity Cruises app or at Guest Relations

IMPORTANT NOTE: Celebrity Cruises may place temporary authorisation holds on your registered payment card. These are not additional charges, although they may temporarily reduce your available funds. Celebrity recommends using a credit card rather than a debit card, as holds may take longer to be released.

HOTEL SERVICE CHARGES & GRATUITIES:

Celebrity Cruises has a gratuity system to recognise the service provided by dining staff, stateroom attendants and other crew members.

For bookings made under Celebrity Cruises’ Australian booking conditions, standard onboard service charges for stateroom attendants and dining room staff are included in the cruise fare. These charges should not be added again to your onboard account.

For bookings where gratuities are not included or prepaid, Celebrity Cruises automatically adds a daily gratuity to each guest’s onboard SeaPass account.

The published daily gratuity rates are:

• Inside, Oceanview and Veranda cabins: US$19.50 per person, per day
• Concierge Class and AquaClass: US$20.50 per person, per day
• The Retreat Suites: US$24.50 per person, per day

These daily gratuities are discretionary. Guests may request to have them reduced or removed by visiting Guest Relations onboard before the morning of disembarkation.

Additional service charges may apply to optional purchases, including:

• Alcoholic beverages and beverage packages
• Specialty dining and dining packages
• Spa and salon treatments
• Room service and minibar purchases

Celebrity Cruises’ general gratuity policy currently lists a 20% gratuity on these optional purchases. Charges may differ depending on the booking conditions, sailing and applicable local laws.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Gratuity arrangements can vary depending on the fare and country of booking. Guests should refer to their booking confirmation to establish whether standard gratuities are included, prepaid or payable onboard.
