Have you seen this link to Celebrity's drink-package comparison? It lists booze brands by name between the two packages, and across various categories.

If the drink can be made with the liquor on the Classic package it is covered.  So margaritas, pina colads, Manhattan,  Bloody Mary, gin & Tonic endless possibilities.

 

So do I have to specifically ask for a brand on the classic side:  ie Tito's & tonic,Don Julio Margarita, etc or do the bartenders know what to give you when they take your card and you ask for a margarita or whatever?  Or if i wanted one of the specialty drinks listed on the menu at a bar can i ask to substitute one of the cheaper liquors or is that frowned upon? 

Also - when dining at a specialty restaurant, it says drinks are not included in pricing, but are they included if you have a drink package?

I can't recall if the Celebrity app shows your beverage package after you fully check in/board/get underway either. But your Sea Pass card will have it printed on it, and the bartenders you encounter will let you know (politely) if a drink requires a little 💲something extra 😃

 

That said, we got to know a few servers at spots we frequented on our last cruise and they didn't bother with making sure our drinks were included in our package (classic, that time) after a few days.

thanks for the feedback -  we booked with the classic package included & all I see are drinks listed over the $10 limit.   I don't mind occasionally paying more, but whats the point of even having a cheaper package if nothing is listed under it?? Hoping the bartenders just sub a cheaper vodka,gin for the specialty drinks listed so we aren't always paying more!

if you go on-line to your account and select the cruise, in the Cruise Planner there is a circle on the upper right corner with your initials, click on that and select Order History the beverage package should show there.

Thank you for the help- i did look here and it shows a pic of what looks like some mojitos & limes - so assuming that is a drink package, but it doesn't list it as classic or premium.  I find it weird that it actually lets you still pick a package - wouldn't it be listed as reserved?  Guess we will find out when we board!   

Does anyone know if an included beverage package should be listed anywhere on the Celebrity app or is it only on the Sea Pass card? 

On the app, I can see all of my other included items (ie: internet package, excursions, dining, etc), but the drink package is only listed as a choice to buy. 

Thank you!  

Do you need to be dressed up for the concierge luncheon?  Or can you wear shorts since it is lunch?   I hear shorts are not typically allowed in MDR for dinner.

Yes they have them on ALL ships in the Aqua Spa Cafe -  They are covered by the Premium Package but not basic

Just curious, if you don't have the premium package, do you have to pay full price or is there just an up charge for these smoothies?   

Perfect - thank you!   I like that there are healthy options there for bf & lunch as well as fresh juices & smoothies.  Hoping all in included, but not too bad if not!

• The treats in Cafe Al Bacio are free, but there is a charge for specialty coffees and teas offered there.
• The show at the Martini Bar is a must!  I recommend upgrading your beverage package to Premium to enjoy the martinis there. 

First time celebrity cruiser - Just curious, We booked Concierge with a classic beverage package included- looks like drinks up to $10 are included, but noticed a lot of selections for drinks to be at $11 or up 😒    Can we ask if they can make a martini from the classic selection or do we have to choose the more expensive options listed at the different bars and pay difference?   

Also -does anyone know if specialty coffees at Cafe Al Bacio & waters, etc are included in classic package - I am assuming they are - again up to our cut off price?

The Spa Cafe offers light, healthier breakfast and lunch options

Saw this - do you have to have spa appt to eat here or is this complimentary?    Is it grab & go or is there seating?
