    Sharla got a reaction from cdixon22 in Gratuities raised   
    I don't mind an increase in gratuities, but what I do mind is that they are increasing and taking away services. Staterooms are cleaned once per day now and they want me to tip more. 
    I know that is a FWP for me the consumer to want fresh towels 2x per day but it is cruise standard, so I would like it done if I am paying more.
    I generally leave more money in the stateroom after the cruise anyway, but this kind of irritates me.

    @Allie Hubers accidentally made my day with her article just published: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2023/10/27/celebrity-cruises-adding-customer-loyalty-lounge-weeklong-cruises
    It's not the article content, it's one of the photos she included:

    LOVE the choice of photo!!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

    Even more of a reason now just to include this in the cruise fare instead of a daily room charge.
     
    Heck they could have just rolled the increase right into the cruise fare and no one would notice.

    i was trying to do the math here — and bear with me because i’m not so great on math in general 😂 — so it’s an additional $2 increase per day - let’s say a week long cruise - an extra $14 difference. for me that’s a drink while on board. 
    hot take, but — i personally am okay with this, especially since the crew work so unbelievably hard + passengers by and large have gotten increasingly more difficult, as many of us have personally observed. 💚
    whether you elect to tip on top of that or not is a personal choice (i am not advocating one way or the other) but i am grateful to be in a position where this would not be a fiscal deterrent for me. 💚

    They are to be released "The week of Oct 30", not necessarily today.
    That means it could be any day between now and Friday.

    When they do a KSF promo they often raise the price of guests one and two. That's how they do it. It offsets it.

    Don't see how?
    Men have nipples and its ok to show them! 
    Breasts and nipples have never ever been sexual organs! In fact in time gone by it was normal for woman to be topless and still is in some countries! 
    It's western mankind who has sexualiaed the female breast over time and changed it from a part of the body used to feed their children into a fantasy! 
    Topless guy at pool is ok but not a woman! Why? 
    Families take their children to parks or zoos and stop and watch excitedly while cows, sheep or any other animals feed their young yet same family may complain if a woman walked past revealling to much or if  woman was feeding her newborn at table next to them as its seen as unacceptable!
