We are in Istanbul too in May and I wanted to take a a tour in the city but haven't started to investigate it. Would you mind sharing the company you selected and how they price their 8 1/2 hour trip? Thanks

Can any one use Micheal's Cub ? or do you need to have a suite?

Has anyone considered to upgrade the drink package after a few days of finding out what's what? Does the price go up every few days during a 14 day sailing?

Typically, there is a "sale" on the drink pack's prior to sailing. Does anyone have (recent) experience how much the drink pckgs are if you purchase it on the 2nd or 3rd day? I realize it would be a proportioned price, based on the left over days but is the per day price much higher every day? what has been your experience?

That's interesting but nothing surprises me. We are doing a TA from Fort Lauderdale. There is no price menu that I can find.

How are the specialty coffees priced on the ship?

Thanks George, once a bottle is opened, it gets emptied in one sitting. 😆

You can order any drink from any bar. If the drink/alcohol brand is priced above the Classic pckg maximum, you bear the cost of the price difference plus tax. please refer to the detailed guide on the Celebrity website

We sailed Concierge in the past and I found it to be a benefit when our ship was late and the cruise line gave us a much greater credit for a 2 night delay than to others in regular section. I mean much greater than the corresponding per/dm rate we paid for the Concierge. The other benefit is you get priority to get off the ship when you dock at a new destination.

thank you and davekathy for the info. I would be less hesitant about the upgrade if I was a big drinker. Since we must both upgrade, I'd have to make sure she drinks herself silly every night to get the math working . That's a difficult compromise. 😜

We have a CLASSIC drink package for an upcoming cruise on the Beyond. It covers wines up to $10.00. My wife is a wine connoisseur and will upgrade. My question is if she picks a glass that costs $17, do we get charged for the difference ($7.00) or do we have to pay $17 for the more expensive wine? Thank you for your information.
