TheBeatnik Posted December 8, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 8, 2017 My father and I are going on the Celebrity Equinox in January. He drinks enough to warrant buying the drink package, but I don't. I only have the occasional drink here and there. With Celebrity, I know both passengers are not required to get the drink package. That said, on other cruise lines, I've had the drink package and been able to order two drinks at a time. Would I be able to "mooch" off my dad's drink package? We're probably talking 4-5 extra drinks over the whole cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandancer Posted December 8, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 8, 2017 No. You can’t order 2 drinks at a time. They do keep a close eye and I’ve heard that the drinks package will be cancelled without refund if you bend the rules. I’m sure someone will come along and say that they did this and got away with it. I wouldn’t want to risk it.

CHEZMARYLOU Posted December 8, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 8, 2017 If you only want 4 or 5 drinks over the whole cruise, just purchase them. The beverage package also includes bottled water, soft drinks and specialty coffee's. If these are your drinks of choice it might be worth it to buy a non alcoholic package.

Newbie545 Posted December 8, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Friends are the same way - they got the premium NON alcoholic packages for the waters/coffee/soda and will just get the alcoholic drinks at cost each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted December 9, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 9, 2017 You would not be able to order two drinks at a time. "Mooching" is not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a drink costs more than the limit, you pay the difference. There is a discount for some levels of captain's club....I believe it's 15% for elite plus. no discount for suites but unless you are on a repositioning cruise, you will have the premium drink package included.

TheBeatnik Posted December 9, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Thanks for all the info. I think I’ll go with a non-alcoholic package and pay as I go. Happy cruising! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lineaway Posted December 9, 2017 #10 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I can't see how they would know he is getting a drink for you? But really, you can pay for the cruise but not a few drinks???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjwinston2019 Posted December 9, 2017 #11 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Yes I laugh at this to read: Well I want to mooch off another, I want to bring my own booze disguise as water, take the towels or robes. What happen to being honest? If you really only drink 4 or 5 drinks for the trip even at $12 a drink, that would be cheaper than the drink package, so do that.

George C Posted December 9, 2017 #12 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Can you get a double scotch? was on a RCCL cruise last week and ordered s drink and was asked if I wanted a double, had doubles for rest of the week, cruise once or twice a year but this was a first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjwinston2019 Posted December 14, 2017 #13 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Want a stronger drink? It is called tip! Tip the Bartender, learn there name and be sociable. Guess what you will get....what ever you ask for. My last Bartender was Louie, and I would ask for a double, and I received it. Surprising how that works!
