Do you get a tumbler/mug/plastic glass when you purchase a Drink package on a Celebrity Cruise?

[tusconcam]

Long title...sorry. New to Celebrity: Med cruise May 1st, 2023, Celebrity Edge, My DW and I purchased a cruise only from Toronto

and wonder if we get a glass/mug with our purchase of the classic non-alcoholic drink package? 

 

We got one on yrs. ago on Oasis of the Seas RCL cruise with a soda package and liked that we could walk around with a drink easily on the ship. 

Just wondering how we can maximize the water bottle part of the package to have some to take with us on the 10 days of shore excursions on this cruise as well.

 

How does it work when we order a soda or the like from our deckchair for instance? I think it says that room service drinks are not included...more confused than I should be..lol

 

Suggestions? Tips? feedback is appreciated.

 

Thanks

No tumbler.  All soft drinks are served in the aluminum can, along with a glass with ice; unless you request the Can only.  This is true in bars, poolside and in restaurants.   They’ll gladly give you a sealed Can if that’s your desire.  Water comes either in aluminum or glass bottles depending bn on the brand, no plastic bottles.  
 

Room service and mini-bar beverages are not included in your beverage package.

Do I understand the OP correctly -- they purchased a non inclusive rate and then added a classic non-alcohol beverage package?  If they purchased a classic non-alcohol package there will be no glass or mug.  Celebrity does not supply such containers, but instead you will receive a fresh (clean) glass or mug with every swipe of your seapass card.  Given the number of bars on the ship it will be easy to walk around with a fresh glass or mug. 

 

Whenever you order a beverage, whether it be water or iced tea, the server will swipe you sea pass card, which is loaded with your beverage package info, and then return the card.  Very easy to pick up containers of water whenever you wish to do so.  Although there is almost always a water station at the exit gangway for port calls it is easy just to pick up a bottle or two before leaving the ship.  And unless you are in a suite the beverages from the mini-bar, even the water, are generally not included in the beverage package.

The water container is screw topped, so no spillages.

Have they give up on the paper water container?

It's also provided in cans with pop tops on some itineraries now. Once opened, can't be closed.

No it was Celebrity.  A poster showed these some time ago.  Maybe they quit using them?

Haven't seen those at all since the restart. Been on all three ship classes and only the aluminum bottles for regular water.

I saw those in Alaska but it was a while back.  Since the restart I have seen two styles of aluminum cans, and some glass bottles (Perrier etc)

Is the water at the gangway free if you don't have a beverage package?

No it is not.  They charge for it just like other water purchases on board. Be aware that some ports don’t allow water sales at the gangway so you are better off bringing your own refillable bottle from home.  Fill a glass at Oceanview and then transfer to your container to take ashore.

Thank you for the info! I've been on two Celebrity cruises but they were only 2 days in length and also a while ago, so I don't remember much.

There is a canopy set up on the dock that offers free cups of water, and a iced towel 

 

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

It’s not usually there when you are leaving the ship first thing in the morning, but is set up a little later so that you can be refreshed on your return.

 

sometimes water, sometimes hot chocolate 😁
