I’m currently helping -- with some other writers -- to write a guide to cruising. The chapter I’m working on currently is:
What is included in the price of my cruise ticket? Hidden Cruise Costs
Besides the general things (cabin, food, etc) that are common to most of the cruiselines, I’m researching what each of the majors charges. So I’m checking the lines’ sites and other resources, but I figure you guys will be a great source of info, too.
So, if you’ve cruised on Celebrity lately, I would appreciate it if you can tell me free or fee. Also if you get certain items for free if you’re a "Captain's Club" Member. You don't have to tell me how much if it's a "fee."
1. Beverages: sodas, lemonade, hot chocolate, cocktails (the last at Captain’s parties, etc)
2. Speciality Restaurant cover charges
3. Speciality foods, ice cream, etc.
4. Internet use
5. Laundry
6. Sports on board (golf, etc)
7. Activities (crafts, what else has a fee???) – not counting horse racing, bingo, casino
8. Children’s program, in port kid-sitting, equipment (cribs, strollers, etc.)
9. Holiday freebies
10. In-cabin refrigerators
11. Special programming on in-cabin TVs, VCR/DVD loans
12. Special occasions (e.g. birthday cake)
13. Use of the gym, exercise classes
14. Enrichment classes
Thank you so much.
