The facts that cost money
These are the details that quietly change your final bill and vary by fare, cabin and sailing. We verify each from its source and re-check every 30 days. Where we have not verified something we say so and put you through to an advisor, rather than guess at it.
| Daily gratuitiesA published service charge added to your onboard account each day | $19.50/day standard (Inside/Oceanview/Veranda); $20.50/day Concierge & AquaClass; $24.50/day The Retreat suites (per guest) |
|---|---|
| What's included vs. extraDining and entertainment vs. specialty dining, drinks, wifi, excursions | Included: your stateroom with twice-daily housekeeping and continental breakfast room service, breakfast lunch and dinner at the main restaurants and Oceanview Cafe, theatre shows, live music, bars and lounges, pools, the fitness centre and running track, the adults-only solarium, Camp at Sea and the Teens Club. Extra: specialty dining, 24-hour room service, laundry, the spa and salon, the casino and bingo. Drinks and Wi-Fi are not in the base fare; the optional All Included rate adds a Classic Drinks Package and Basic Wi-Fi. |
| Drink package ruleWhether all adults in the cabin must buy it | All guests of legal drinking age in the same stateroom must buy the same alcoholic package (exceptions for children, teens with a zero-proof package, and pregnant/medical cases). |
| Wi-FiIncluded, or tiered packages at extra cost | Two tiers, Basic Wi-Fi (browsing, email, messaging; included with eligible All Included rates) and Premium Wi-Fi (adds social, video calls, streaming and large files; a paid upgrade). |
| Deposit & final paymentWhen the balance is due before sailing | Celebrity does not publish a final-payment day count on its FAQ or ticket contract. The contract's no-charge cancellation cutoffs are 75 days (1-4 nights), 90 days (5-14 nights) and 120 days (15+ nights); confirm your own due date with the agency that books you. |
| Cancellation & refundsPenalty schedule as the sailing gets closer | By cruise length (US ticket contract): 1-4 nights, 75+ days = no charge, 74-61 = 50%, 60-31 = 75%, 30 or fewer = 100%. 5-14 nights, 90+ = none, 89-75 = 25%, 74-61 = 50%, 60-31 = 75%, 30 or fewer = 100%. 15+ nights, 120+ = none, 119-75 = 25%, 74-61 = 50%, 60-31 = 75%, 30 or fewer = 100%. |
| Refundable vs non-refundableFare/deposit types and what you forfeit | Most lines sell both a refundable-deposit fare and a lower non-refundable-deposit fare. On a non-refundable fare the full deposit is held in penalty if you cancel, although payments beyond the deposit are refunded, and change fees apply to the booking. (General, fare types and penalties vary by line and sailing.) |
| Solo traveller supplementSingle supplement and whether solo cabins exist | A solo traveller in a two-person cabin normally pays a single supplement, roughly the cost of two fares. Some ships have cabins built and sold for one person, where double-occupancy rates do not apply, but they are a small part of the inventory and availability varies by ship and sailing. (General, the supplement and the cabin types vary by line.) |
| Kids, minimum age & clubsMinimum age to sail and kids-club age bands | Infants must be at least 6 months old to sail. Camp at Sea (ages 3-12): Shipmates 3-5, Cadets 6-9, Captains 10-12; separate Teen Club 13-17. |
| Onboard credit termsRefundable vs non-refundable onboard credit | Onboard credit comes from a promotion or your loyalty status, not the base fare, and it comes in two kinds. Complimentary credit is non-refundable and has no cash value, so it has to be spent on board. Purchased credit is refundable to you before you leave the ship. Where you hold both, the non-refundable credit is normally spent first, and anything left at the end of the last evening is forfeited. (General, terms vary by line and offer.) |
| Loyalty programmeProgramme name and how tiers work | Captain's Club, tiers Preview, Classic, Select, Elite, Elite Plus, Zenith; points earned each sailing by stateroom category and cruise length. |
| Travel documentsPassport vs birth certificate on closed-loop sailings | On closed-loop US sailings a US birth certificate plus a valid government photo ID is accepted instead of a passport (children 15 and under need only the birth certificate); a passport is preferred. |
These are exactly the details that surprise people at the pier and on the final bill. Call and we'll confirm every one for your ship, cabin and dates, with today's fare.

Choosing a cabin
Ocean View
A sealed window or porthole onto the sea, natural light and a view, without the extra of a balcony.
Veranda (Balcony)
Your own private outdoor space for morning coffee and sail-aways, the most popular choice for good reason.
Concierge Class
An enhanced category with upgraded perks and service, sitting between standard rooms and full suites.
AquaClass
Wellness-focused cabins with spa perks or thermal-suite access, usually in a quieter part of the ship.
The Retreat (Suite Class)
The top tier, more space and usually extra perks like priority boarding, a private lounge, sundeck or concierge service.
Single Stateroom
Cabins designed and priced for one traveller, no paying for an empty second bed.
Infinite Veranda (Edge series)
Your own private outdoor space for morning coffee and sail-aways, the most popular choice for good reason.
The right cabin, and the numbers to avoid on each ship, is exactly what an advisor knows.

Suite classA separate tier with its own dining and spaces, priced accordingly.
SeasonEuropean shoulder months cost less than peak summer and are usually more pleasant.

Questions people actually ask
What exactly is an infinite verandah?
A cabin design where the living space extends to the ship's edge with a retractable upper window, rather than a separate outdoor balcony. Some travellers prefer it; others miss a traditional open balcony. Understand which you're booking.
How is Celebrity different from mainstream lines?
Quieter atmosphere, stronger food and design, fewer large family attractions, and a higher fare that often includes more. Whether that trade is worth it depends on what you value on board.
Is suite class worth it?
Suite class functions almost as a separate product with its own restaurant, lounge and deck. It's a bigger step up than the equivalent on most lines.
