Are all Juices and smoothies and coffees covered under Classic Beverage packages (Summit)

[juksing]

Just wondering if anyone is able to reply whether  the special juices and smoothies at Spa Cafe (on summit)  are part of the classic Bev alcohol or non-alcohol package or do we need premium package?  Also wondering about the premium coffees, I am assuming the hot ones are part of classic but the ice coffees are part of premium.   Am I correct?  Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

No they are not covered under the Classic Drink package.   You will need the Premium for the Smoothies in the Aqua Spa.

To clarify, the smoothies in the Spa Café are not covered in the classic package.

 

In Café al Bacio, all coffees under the $9 price point are covered, iced or not.  For instance, you can order a café Americano, or an iced Cafe Americano and they will both be covered.,

Thanks for replies; but what about the juices at the spa cafe; I see on the menu these pressed juices and am wondering are those also part of the classic beverage packages?

I do not believe the special juices are covered under Classic either..basically all the drinks on the menu there require Premium. That is my understanding..to upgrade is $12 PPPD.

Thanks,  I just wish Celebrity  would be straightforward about this and just document it on website or in a pdf exactly which beverages (more so for the non-alcoholic drinks) are included on each package.  For the alcoholic stuff it is pretty clear but for the non-alcoholic beverages it is confusing as they use a lot of terms interchangeably or haphazardly in the descriptions.

IMO - on X's website it is clear what is included on each package.

Look at the very bottom under non-alcoholic - it clearly states smoothies are not covered under the classic package.  Not sure how much more clearer it would need to be. 

 

[Jim_Iain]

I agree they aren't real clear but if you dive deep they have a bit of clarity at -

For Nonalcoholic items -- Right Column is Premium and Left is Classic - Smoothies and Premium Juices are listed on Premium but not on Classic.

I'm not drinking alcohol, and ALL I'm interested in regard to CBP is: fresh squeezed orange juice -- included in the Classic or not????

 

It only states "juices"....

[Woody14]

A lot of where the unclarity comes in with the non-alcohol packages as there is also a kids package and a soda package but they don't put them in the comparisons

I would consider "fresh squeezed juices" to be "premium".....I think most any reasonable person would.

The OJ on Classic is from Frozen Concentrate

 

The choice of fresh squeezed orange juice is limited to Luminae, Blu and Elite Breakfast and Retreat lounge.

 

What they call as Premium OJ on the Premium is actually fresh squeezed in a factory and refrigerated like you will find at a grocery store refrigerated section.    The regular is from concentrated frozen. 

 

On the Spa Cafe they don't have fresh squeezed OJ but one that has ginger and other things in it.   I've been told you can however order it with no other additives.

 

I learned this about the Fresh Squeezed OJ from the person in Blu that gets up every morning at 3:00 AM and squeezes it for the places mentioned.

Elite Breakfast

 

Thanks, Jim.

 

So my only option for a really freshly squeezed OJ is either on Elite B'fast or at Spa Cafe, basically asking for "just" OJ ?

 

As a "non-reasonable person", I have to ask....😎

dn - not sure that the OJ at Spa Cafe would be 'freshly squeezed' yet worth asking when visiting...

"The OJ on Classic is from Frozen Concentrate"  Nothing that a little champagne can't spark up.

Trying my best to "reason" -- coffees up to 9$ are covered, but a glass of freshly squeezed OJ priced at 4.50-5$ is not ☹️

Likely because of the manpower required to make it

[cruisestitch]

But there’s clearly more to it than that because the vitamin water which is priced at $4.50, it’s not in the classic package…..it’s in the premium.

[publicpersona]

Of course we've all seen that machine in the buffet that mechanically squeezes real oranges into real fresh squeezed orange juice. Except for that, I would not have any high degree of confidence that "fresh squeezed" actually means that it was just squeezed. It is a premium OJ compared to the Tang-like liquid that you get out of the dispenser, though.

That is my experience.    The Fresh Squeezed is limited at Elite and when they run out the switch to the Premium OJ.

LOL --- I don't try to figure out that myself.    I just say it's that way because it's the way it is.

[tcrutchf]

What about virgin frozen drinks? Are they included in the classic non-alcoholic package? My kids are supposedly getting that with "always included", not the kid's drink package.
