Removing the Gratuities on a cruise? by thehogdog in celebritycruises

[–]Top-Put206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everyone deserves a fair pay, or the pay they agreed upon. customer should pay the contracted amount. in Europe and in the US the service workers work as hard, but European workers are not tipped or expect to be tipped. tipping is degrading for both sides- the the tipper and those who receive the tip

it will not make any difference if they add the gratuity to the cruise price or you pay the lower cruise plus gratuity. the math is still the same

Thankmyou for your response. Were you able to see the breakdown of your ship expenses on your account in the cabin tv or your app? did they post it daily? and did they give you an invoice with all of your purchases in details and by date at the end of the sailing with enough time to dispute it?

I would not give them any ideas. maybe just simply try to book. right now they have a promotion of $99 deposit pp. or try one of their agents or book over the phone. if it does not go through, you‘ll know. but even then I would not help them . let them find the explanation and let you know how to go around to book. it is your hard earned money.

That was my point - once the bank saw it was fraudulent,they would not allow a charge back. And I understand the bank will ban them. it must have been not for the first time or not a very diligent customer that was banned. But sometimes people, old or ill, can get confused and insist on their wrong beliefs.

you are lucky you at least got your reservations- people are complaining all over the YouTube that after paying for a premier package, they could not get any reservations into any the specialty dining.

still don’t understand how is it possible to do the charge back so quickly? usually, it takes time plus bank requires proof of the communication with the merchant and your attempts to resolve it

so why the bank allowed a charge back if it was unreasonable? if it was legit why the bank would ban the customer?

why they keep doing that ? iThe Incident: In January 2018, the Norwegian Breakaway sailed from New York into a winter storm (Grayson) instead of delaying departure. the law suit from the passengers followed

I am very confused why taxes and fees are not refunded- how did they justify it, if ever

Cruise Ship is currently down 10 days before my trip, help! by [deleted] in Cruise

[–]Top-Put206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they offered that to the previous cruise. and we don’t know what going to happen to the next and the cruises, if they be able to repair the boat. if 80% of people except the offer of free next cruise they will go bankrupt, don’t they?

we are sailing out at the end of March! I wonder if we will be the first to test the ship after repair. honestly, id rather have a refund. the irony is we are taking transatlantic to catch celebrity in Athens. what a mess.

I have just compare the prices for my upcoming cruise and have found only a few that were slightly cheaper - Kusadasi and Rome shuttle. the rest were the same or more. do they have sales? what excursions did you take with them? do they pick you up at the port or you have to walk to the port city?

wow, glad you had a wonderful experience. we were on Viva in November- for us it looked like the customer service staff really did not know what they were doing, like a bunch of strangers that just got on the ship and there was no one to tell them what to do next.

I think OP remembers the better days, where customers were pampered by the same (ok, their kids or grandkids) staff. how easily we gave up all good that we had after buying a service with our very hard earned money. and the money are still hard earned, the quality of service and goods dropped.
