In a few years the majority of cruisers won't know what the term 'formal night' even means, they'll just remember it as something they heard their grandparents mention.

Just like most people don't know what a Midnight Buffet is.

the cc's have great locations which is the primary reason we book. The additional amenities are appreciated but we'd pay the difference between the verenda's and the cc's based on cabin choice alone.

agreed!!!

Celebrity has just recently started to charge the differences on board vs pre cruise. I would bet if you upgrade on board you will be paying $17.25 per day. Here is the list of pricing:

Classic Package:

Pre-Cruise OnBoard

$44.00 pp per day $49.00 pp per day

Premium

$54.00 pp per day $59.00 pp per day

 

I cant see Celebrity letting anyone upgrade onboard for the 11.50 a day anymore.

The DIFFERENCE is still $10 per day plus gratuities = $11.50.

Hey All,

 

Please take pity on me. I'm planning a destination wedding...and I just don't have the energy to look for the answer.....

 

We have about 25 nubies (first time cruisers) traveling with us to our destination wedding in the Bahama's. Some are cheap...some are not.

 

We are not.

 

We have been told by our Group Rep. to wait until we are onboard to select which package we buy. Our guests are asking for our advise, now??!!. Our wedding party is divided between the "Wine Snobs" and the "Bar Rag". I know what each group drinks...and value your thoughts:

 

"Wine Snobs": Will have a Rum punch as we leave port...but will spend most of the time at the Martini Bar (Grey Goose). They will then have a bottle of modest priced wine with dinner...then maybe hit the Winevino machine, while hitting the casino.

 

"Bar Rags": They will also have a drink, as we leave port (Jack 'n Coke) and MAY have a Martini (depending on price). They will then have a few more Jack 'n Cokes before dinner....MAYBE a glass of wine with dinner....then Jack 'n Cokes (or Gin n' Tonics) for the rest of the night.

 

Which package(s) do you recommend for each?

 

Thank you SO MUCH for your help!!!:p:p

I would also recommend Premium for Wine Snobs and Classic for Bar Rags, HOWEVER, warn the Wine Snobs that if they used the Winevino machine, they will pay the full price for each ounce they purchase which will be charged to their stateroom. The machines, your room bar and room service are not included in either package.

Thanks for the very informative posting.

Well said. We purchased the Premium drinks, we are not big drinkers but I can confidently say that it was worth our while & we will definitely purchase the premium drinks package again next year. :)

My wife and I have just signed up for the Celebrity Equinox for Feb 21, 2013. We have never sailed Celebrity before and we have never had the opportunity for a drinks package. If you do not sign chits, how do they know that you have a package and what package you have?
