On the Equinox now - Beverage Package Classic

[Sandy1975]

Everyone seems to have their own list.

 

As repeat Celebrity cruisers know, the only thing that's consistent about celebrity is their inconsistency. They just can't seem to get HQ, their web and all their ships on the same page....and there is really no way to know what list is correct. I guess whatever they do on the ship is, by definition, right for that cruise

 

 

Sandy....you could print out that page in the internet room...there's no cost...it's a free web site (celebritycruises.com). I (and I bet a few others) would love to know what the bartenders/food and beverage manager says if you showed them the, we presume official, "Celebrity web" list".

I'll do that! Lol

 

Cell is dying so will post more when I get back on the ship

[Duanerice1]

Back posting a bit more. We took an excursion with Celebrity to St John. We are doing the self explore one. Trunk Bay is beautiful. It is not very crowded. Snorkeling is not the best right now as the waters are a bit choppy. I was still able to see a few fish and coral and that was nice.

 

Off topic but is there only 1 return time? We were thinking about this one too but wanted to get back and shop a bit too. If so do you remember the time you returned to the ship?

Thanks

[hammo]

I will take a picture n post it here.

 

Thanks in advance Sandy :D

Hi BOBBYR30,

 

The list in this topic is the one that is linked to Celebrity's Website... It may not be the complete list (just a Representation... Which is what lists linked to the Website have been in the past. Certainly this list which is really recent is missing a lot of Name Brands entirely... Hence all the Questions)

 

The last CELEBRITY OFFICIAL BEVERAGE PKG List was psted here by CC Member CELEBRITY CRUISES - Official Rep on May 28, 2014 after the last OFFICIAL Revision to the Bevvy Pkgs

 

You can find that Announcement, and attached Classic & Premium Lists here:

 

http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2048745

 

As per that Official List, Captain's Morgan Rum appears on both the Classic & Premium Pkgs

 

Cheers!

Ps... I and SARAFINADH did the last lengthy review / analysis of Celebrity's Bevvy Pkgs in 2012, it is my plan to do another one and pst my findings here on CC early in 2015 (after I cruise next month)

 

Sloop,

Also cruising in December on the Reflection. Could help out and take pics/notes for you if you'd like- just to help give more data points?

Hi SPERKINS921,

 

Hey, the more the merrier.

 

Last time I did this I ended up typing in the Celebrity Wine List / Wine Book in the MDR (which was a lot of work)

I am hoping not to ave to do that this round :D

 

Cheers!

Hell with planning:).

 

It all works in the end. Wait til onboard and see.

Any Dogfish Head or Fuller's London Pride on board?

[notsomadhatter]

I also like Rodney strong merlot but apparently they are running out of it.

 

On Reflection last week we were told by a couple of sommeliers they were out of it and it was not going to be restocked. They had replaced it with La Chance (?), apparently this is what they plan to carry going forward. Of course you can take all of that information with a grain of salt.

[notsomadhatter]

GastroBar's menus lists both. I believe I saw Fuller's LP on Cellar Master's menu on Reflection last week. Don't remember seeing Dogfish Head but I'm not into IPAs so it might have not jumped out at me.

Hey Sandy

Hopefully you can post when youn get home.:)

[Sandy1975]

Glad you are enjoying the S class! And the drinks! Can I ask please is Port included in classic package?

I believe there was 1 port included, however, our sommelier would pair a glass with our dessert after day 4. Im assuming it was included since I never got charged extra.

[Sandy1975]

We are back from a fantastic cruise. I will post in more detail when I get back home but I wanted to correct something. After someone posted about Crown Royal and Bombay been included, I asked again and according to this other bartender, it was part of package and that I was given wrong info. So sorry for the confusion. Like someone said, regardless of what lists you see or other people experiences, you really need to ask before making the decision to upgrade.

Sandy,

Do you remember what hard cider was on board? We get on Saturday, have been having Honey Jack (as in Daniels) and hard cider a lot lately- hoping both are on board.

I love hard cider! They had woodchuck pear and Angry Orchard (both premium package). They had strongbow too but I believe they run out because when I asked to get one they said they didn't have it anymore. That was in the classic. Maybe it will be replenished for your trip.

Any news on the wines by the glass in the Premium Package ?

[Wiltonian]

Definitely! I had one most nights with the cheese board which I asked for after the dessert in Blu, on the Equinox last month. Apart from the last night, it was served in rather small glasses. I could have asked for a second glass, of course, but after the several glasses of red with the meal, didn't feel the need! A quite decent late bottled vintage, according to the wine list.

sandy...did you ever get a chance to show them the classic/premium list that's on the celebrity web site to get their reaction?

No because the website has the list that I believe the first bar I asked questions to told me. I think that is where the confusion is at. They were honoring the old list.

This is what I downloaded on my phone from the celebrity website

Thankyou Sandy - that was very good of you :D

 

Sadly it is a very ordinary and disappointing selection of wines for a Premium Package . :(

 

Glad you had a great cruise.

Any Dogfish Head or Fuller's London Pride on board?

Equinox had some Dogfish 90 on board last week at the Gastro Bar.

Unfortunately most of the choices are bottled rather than draft.
