LadyBerard Posted October 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Today, I was able to upgrade our included Classic Drink Pkg. on two of our upcoming cruises -- 1/15/24 Silhouette and 10/11/24 Eclipse for $6.99 pp per day, plus gratuities! I had originally upgraded our Eclipse for $10.00 pp per day, plus gratuities and canceled that today and rebooked at the lower rate!!!! 🙂 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lena11033 Posted October 25, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Yesterday posted the drink prices were lower, today there seems to be a sale on specific sailings to get the upgrades even cheaper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brews'n'Cruise Posted October 25, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I checked my June Infinity cruise when I saw the original thread yesterday and there was a discount of 20%; after seeing this thread today I checked again and the discount is 53.33% so I just did the upgrade, it's the biggest discount I've seen.

Bruin Steve Posted October 26, 2023 #11 Share Posted October 26, 2023 For two of my three upcoming X cruises--my B2Bs on Millennium for Japan, both 12 nights, it's $9.99 per day for the upgrade. Add the additional gratuities and, for the two of us, it's another $565.84 for the upgrade. We decided we can deal with drinking whatever is on the classic package. The entire two cruises in Concierge plus RT Airfare plus 5 nights of hotels in Tokyo plus 17 port or city tours/shore excursions plus meals in Tokyo plus ground transportation is quite enough without adding on another $565. For our upcoming Eclipse cruise to Cabo, we didn't spring for the "all-inclusive", so upgrading isn't a consideration...BUT, being Captains Club Elite+, we get free drinks from 5-7 anyway...and they want, on sale, $41.99 for the classic package...So, to make even that work, we wouldn't even break even at four drinks a night each....And remember, that's not just five drinks each for us...it's five drinks ABOVE and BEYOND those free drinks from 5-7. NAAAAHHHH! We'll just drink freebies. from 5 until dinner, then, if we can still drink, we'll just pay by the drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHawk1 Posted October 26, 2023 #14 Share Posted October 26, 2023 It pays to check CC regularly. I don't go into the Cruise Planner every day, so without seeing this post, I would have likely missed the deal. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruin Steve Posted October 26, 2023 #25 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Saw it down to $6.99 for my B2B Japan cruises...So, about $400 total for the 24 nights...Makes it awfully tempting... So, I ran it by my wife--mainly because, of us, she's the wine drinker and it increases her wine choices (Under $10 wine is fairly limiting). For me, I drink Anejo Tequila at home--but going classic to premium, though it adds a couple of Reposados, does NOT give you Anejo anyway. So, on the ship, move to bourbon...and though I'd rather have Woodford, Maker's Mark or even Jack, for the length of the cruise, i can deal with Jim Beam or even Canadian...The real place I've noticeda difference is in pre-bedtime liqueurs, where, with a classic package, I'm drinking Sambuca--as Amaretto and Bailey's now require Premium. My wife said it's still not worth it...For the length of the cruise, we can adjust.
