sunnidaze7 Posted April 20, 2012 #176 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I was told by the Celebrity rep that if you didn't purchase it the first day and decided on say day 3 they would charge you the price from day 1. Is this correct? Thanka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We're The Groupnors Posted April 20, 2012 #177 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I was told by the Celebrity rep that if you didn't purchase it the first day and decided on say day 3 they would charge you the price from day 1. Is this correct?Thanka Not true. You can buy it any day of the cruise, and only pay for the days left; however, I believe if you try to buy it on the last day they will say no. Just don't try to buy it for a day here, and a day there. Once you decide to purchase it you must pay for all remaining days of the cruise.

sabookkeeper Posted April 20, 2012 #179 Share Posted April 20, 2012 The premimum non-alcoholic package specifically says "non-alocholic frozen drinks", will DH still be able to get his virgin ceasar as it is not a "frozen drink". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkoe1 Posted April 24, 2012 #180 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I am sailing in 6 days and I am not sure of which non alcohol package to get. I drink Cafe Latte's... no booze no extra anything. Will a basic non alcoholic package suffice? Please advise asap as I leave.... DAY AFTER TOMORROW... I HAVE WAITED A long time to say that! Yippee! Thanks in advance!

Grannycb Posted April 27, 2012 #181 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Okay, it's my turn to ask the silly question of the day. When did Celebrity start charging for tea? I looked at the spreadsheet (Kudos for posting that!) and was shocked to see $4.00 and $6.00 as the price listed on the teas. Isn't it a free choice at the end of the meal? I started reading this thread to find out if there was an advantage to buying the soda card before the cruise starts. I'm still not sure of that answer.

sarafinadh Posted April 28, 2012 Author #182 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) NOT a silly question at all! Just some fall out from a somewhat convoluted program ; -) There are two levels of beverage package, Classic and Premium. There are ALSO the beverages that are included in the basic all inclusive food service. There will be, in the dining room and at the other restaurants; coffee, tea, juice, punch, milk, iced tea, lemonade, and prolly a few other things I can't remember right now ; -) There will also be, for package customers, barrista coffee drinks, such as cappuccino and latte and espresso, and tea that is higher grade than what is offered in the dining rooms. Cova Cafe seems to be the central resource for these package beverages, just like there will be juice in the dining room and buffet but there are fruit smoothies and fresh squeezed juices available to package customers. If you care about having the high end options then considering a package might be worth it. They aren't JUST for booze! If you want an occasional special beverage you can just pay for the individual treat, rather than taking a package.

blong2200 Posted April 28, 2012 #183 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Wow! What a list! I just wanted to add that Coke Zero is also offered on the soda plan, and sodas can now be in the can, not just fountain. This is important to someone like my husband, who hates Diet Coke, but loves Coke Zero (go figure....) You do not get a thermal cup anymore, just a hot canned drink poured over ice.......so be prepared to ask for more ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCeagle111 Posted April 28, 2012 #184 Share Posted April 28, 2012 We are taking our 1st cruise on the Celebrity Summit this July and was wondering about drink packages for kids. My daughters only drink Iced Tea, lemonade, juice and milk. Do I need a beverage plan for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happytam Posted April 28, 2012 #185 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thanks so much for all the info! It is much appreciated. I'm not sure if this is the appropriate thread but I have a question re: discounts/sales on drink packages. I've booked on the Summit for November 2012. I already plan on purchasing the Premium package. I've seen on other threads where people have gotten a 10% discount on their drink package purchase. Is this something that is offered often? Are emails sent out announcing the sale or should I just keep checking the website to look for the info? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willow148 Posted April 29, 2012 #186 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I prefer sparkling water to still - is it available in the Classic non-alcoholic package? Thanks for any info, Cheers Tricia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was on Infinity this past fall the only place I ever saw it was at the brunch. Of course I wasn't really looking for it very hard as I didn't have a package then. Is it in the buffet? MDR? Also how about getting Mimosa's or Bloody Mary if you're having breakfast in the buffet or MDR? Thanks so much for all the info!

more from les Posted April 30, 2012 #188 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Does anyone with experience with a Solstice class ship or a 'solsticized' Millennium class ship know if the Premium or Classic beverage packages can be used in the CellarMasters with the wine tasting machines? Not a deal breaker, but it may help me decide about purchasing a package on the newly refurbished Millie. Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And suites, CC and AQ can get it for breakfast. I found the non-alcohol drinks way too sweet so my favorite was a splash of fr sq OJ and seltzer water in a tall glass of ice.

britbritrawr09 Posted May 5, 2012 #198 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I have cruised before, but never with a drink package. This may be a stupid question. Is there any non alcoholic drink not covered on the premium non alcoholic package? If anyone knows that be great! I would rather not be surprised. Thank you.

DiamondSuiteCruiser Posted May 30, 2012 #200 Share Posted May 30, 2012 This was our first time with the drink package and we LOVED IT!!! We never even attended the nightly Elite events, because we had so much fun with our new friends in the other bars. Wish RCCL would go to this before our next sailing in Dec.
