Does Elite get 3 free drinks on sea pass card?

Nope, but you will receive 3 paper vouchers which are valid for various bars (except Martini Bar, Molecular Bar). Those bars do have the Elite Menu on the tables too.

Isn't the elite drinks normally in the sky lounge? I thought this was the norm unless there are loads of elite members and then the vouchers are given out to use at other bars... (Except the 2 mentioned above) this normally happens on transatlantic cruises these days!

Correct, only when many Elites onboard :).

You ONLY receive vouchers when there are too many Elites on board or the venue used for the Happy Hour can't be used. The usual procedure to is hold the Elite Hour in a central location and there is a set drink menu. You can order as much as you want from the menu of free drinks.

As I thought... Thanks for confirming as I was pretty sure that's how it worked! [emoji4]

I have been doing RCCL the last few cruises and I can't remember if Celebrity gives you the 3 free drinks on your sea pass card.

 

I have a hard enough time balancing just one drink on my sea pass card. However, if you can do three at a time the bartender will probably give them to you free!!!!!!!

:D:p:D

Unless you are doing a TransAtlantic, it is hard to imagine you do not have 123GO and thus coud have unlimited free drinks all cruise.

 

If you are not booking a Concierge class or above (though they do vary the offer from time to time), you won't have ALL THREE of the 123Go on most cruises--merely the option to take one or two of the offers...

 

We are doing a cheap Alaska on Millennium in an inside cabin--so we have NO 123Go perks...(of course, the price is a thoird of what a balcony would cost)...

 

We're then doing a Caribbean next March in a balcony--but, for that one, we are limited to choosing just ONE of the 123Go perks...I was tempted to take the Free Drink package as my 123Go perk, but in the end, opted for the Free Gratuities instead...Why? Because, as an Elite Plus Captains Club member, I'll get free pre-dinner drinks every evening anyway...and I rarely drink more than 2-3 drinks a day anyway...If I decide to have one more later in the evening, I'm still ahead of the game taking the Free Tips instead...

On our December cruise on Eclipse, the Captains Club rep said they are working on this change. We were told it requires a whole software change and upgrade to put benefits on the sea pass card. I really like the way RCCL puts these on the card. I frequently forget the little card/vouchers for things like the photos, the casino credit, etc. If I don't want to go back to the room I forgo the item until the next time I'm out. Not only the drinks, but all the Elite, (or whatever) benefits are put there so the card just needs to be swiped.

I am hoping it is done in time for my June Constellation cruise, but I am not holding my breath. IT is not Celebrity's best department.
