Celebrity
Cruises passengers will pay gratuities as high as $17 a day starting July 1 if
they follow the line’s new suggested guidelines.
Celebrity
will raise the daily amounts that are automatically added to a passenger’s
stateroom account to $13.50 per passenger in most staterooms, $14 for Concierge
and Aqua suites and $17 for Suite accommodations.
Currently,
the tiers are $12.95, $13.45 and $16.45, respectively.
The
increase follows an 8% raise implemented last July.
Passengers
may adjust the suggested amounts up or down before settling their shipboard
account on the last night of the cruise.
