Premium Drinks Package-Upgrade Worth It?

I always get two bottles, one from Aqua class, and one from my travel agent (American Express Platinum Travel)... Honestly, it's such a waste since I'm also getting a beverage package, so I never drink the wine, and I haven't figured out anything good to do with it.

I am going on a cruise next in 2 1/2 weeks on Aqua Class, so maybe I will get a bottle of wine...

Does anyone have the latest PDF to compare drink packages ? 
the link posted earlier does not work 

No link, but if you prefer higher line liquors, you will want the premium..I can’t address the wine side..most any Pinot Grigio suits me just fine.

 

the Wife and I always upgrade to premium if not in a suite. I don’t drink well liquor.

Not for me, trying to explain the difference to some first time Celebrity cruisers

I just did a transatlantic and our upgrade was almost $20. It was worth it for me. We enjoy the World Bar and each drink would cost about $8.00 more. A great saving just for that.

Granted we were on B2B Edge cruises back in February/March.  Not current. 

Upgrading to premium for drinks was great.  No problem getting the fancy drinks that I wanted or the better scotch for DH.

However - wine was a different story.  Every "premium" wine was never available by the glass in the dining rooms for dinner except for the specialty restaurants.  And even then, they were hit or miss.

But they were available by the bottle.  Gee, what a surprise!

Quite disappointed.  If you care more about wine than drinks you too will be disappointed.

Wine:  If I buy the bottle for dinner, do they still cork it for the following night?

Simple Espresso and Cappuccino should fall under the Classic beverage package.

I have said it once and I'll say it again - definitely invenous of this!  

 

They had a bottle of Decoy cab and a Beringer Knights valley reserve waiting for me on the first day. Both are excellent although I haven't seen the Beringer on any wine list.

thanks..

it lists scotch and Coors light for my husb,  and while NO Baileys for me there is Tia Maria and Kalhua ( great in coffee) 

 

Baileys is slight upcharge..usually not added, esp if you tip extra

I don't see Cointreau or Triple Sec on this list.  How do they make a proper Cosmopolitan without this?  OH wait...I see a newer post with Cointreau...Vacation Saved!

Maybe it is time to just stop drinking alcohol 😁

Just upgraded our March Equinox black friday $6.99 pp well worth it . I love my Bailys coffees and double crown royals and gingerale at the lawn club. My wife enjoys the better teas at Cafe Bianco and better wines.

Is tax then added to the $6.99 per day upgrade?

 It's not tax, it's a 20% service charge.

Thanks for your reply, I guess my question is, if I upgrade, is the price strictly $6.99 per day or do they then add 20% gratuity?
