Well I will be quoting the Celebrity UK Website description of the package:

Classic Drinks Package

 

 

 

 

Non-Alcoholic Classic Drinks Package: All Fountain and Canned Soda, Bottled Juices such as cranberry, tomato, pineapple and apple, Fresh Squeezed Juices, Premium Coffees and Teas, and Bottled Water.

$18.00 per person, per day*

 

Classic Drinks Package: Upgrade your cruise experience and pay one price to enjoy all of the benefits of our Classic soft drinks package, plus all beers up to $6 per serving, wines up to $9.00 per glass and spirits and cocktails $8 per glass. Plus, with the purchase of this Classic Package, you can enjoy a 15% discount on all wines by the bottle purchased on board, even our prized Reserve Wine list and Rare Wine list.

$55.00 per person, per day*

 

It clearly says Canned Soda.

I believe this is the old description since all the drinks (beers, cocktails, and wines) are up to $9 now.

If you have the drinks package, al Bacio has the alcohol or will get it for you and have it on hand everyday if you let them know. It may be two different "charges" but no cost.

Thank you very much for your response, Arno.

Pardon my stupid question, but if I want a single shot of espresso and a shot of Sambuca could I order both at Cafe al Bacio or would I have to go to a different bar to get the shot of Sambuca since that specific drink isn't on Cafe al Bacio's menu?

Just off Silhouette yesterday and "pay the difference" was in effect. I loved it as I enjoy a martini before dinner and $3.54 was cheaper than upgrading. They did move a few of my favorite vodkas to Premium but I found Tito and Stoli just fine.

Glad to know that both Tito's and Stoli are still on Classic. Thanks!

I know the special coffees come with a price but are the pastries at the Cafe Al Bacio no extra charge? We aren't getting the extra beverage packages. Thanks.

I was wondering the same thing!

Pastries are free at Cafe Al Bacio.

Thank you for doing this. I will be on the Summit in September and will have late seating too. I am sorry to hear about your wait staff.

any list you see of brands is an example of what you might be able to order. We have been on cruises where Ketel One is only on the Premium package...others where it's part of classic. We saw Titos on our last cruise...and of course Tito's cost less than Ketel One so one would think it's on the classic package, but logic doesn't help.

 

Taking this one step further, the classic package includes everything in the standard package plus more. Standard Package lists that I've seen in multiple places specifically list an "americano" as part of the standard package. I've tried to order it on the classic package and I've been told by multiple bartenders that the price of an americano exceeds the limit on the classic package. It would be nice if the left hand and right hand actually talked and things that are written and handed out on a ship were actually applied on the same ship. (yes, after a very short discussion with the F&B Manaager, we were not charged for Americanos on the rest of the cruise).

Pardon my dumb question, but is there a list on your cruise that tells which brands fall under the different package levels or do you just have to ask the bartender?

So what is on the CC Embarkation lunch menu. Sounds like salmon, rack of lamb, some soup and salad. Im not sure is this is what I read but not something I would be excited about.

But just me... where could I see menu?

I found this on another thread.

As someone who has used both as a kid, I preferred the sofa bed. However, I was afraid of bunk beds as a kid so that played a part. The one con to the sofa bed was that my dad would want to go on the balcony in the morning and would try to climb over me, as I slept, to get there.

I won't be on Summit until September 2017, but I was wondering if anyone knew if they had gluten free oatmeal and/or granola. Thanks.
