Beyond Beverage Prices Differ in Bars?

[asctony]

Going on Beyond soon. Looking at the various bar menus.

Why are there different prices for the same brand in the bars.

Example - Tito Vodka 

Martini Bar $9

The Club Bar $12

Other examples on wine, too.

Anyone know why? 

TIA

If you are looking at the menus on the app, it could be that some menu's have been updated and others have not.  Until you get on the ship the menus that you see in the app are not always correct.

I am on the silhouette now and Tit's is listed at $12 in the Martini bar.  If you see two prices, the higher one is probably the current price.

Thanks for your response! 

To me that is a very big short coming on any Companies IT Department.

I wonder what would happen if you are on the ship and opened the app and the price shown was $9. 

Of course they would still charge you $12. 

Happy Cruising!

Thats a very good price, they are usually much higher than that. 🙂

It appears that the menus in the app haven’t been all updated.  Tito’s used to be included in the Classic beverage package but was moved to the Premium package.  The $9 price is incorrect.

So, the prices on some of these items went up $3. Examples: 

Tito's  9 to 12

Gray Goose 12 to 15.

33% increase.

OMG! I didn't even think of that. 

$3x20% = .60. That is $3.60 per drink. 

A drink pkg is almost as expensive as a 7 day cruise.

Celebrity is (in)famous for its IT department.

If you found this during your cruise and paid the higher amount Customer Relations would likely give you a credit.  Probably for the whole amount.

Yes!  I have a short 4 night trip in 2025 with two port days and I’m going to attempt the bring wine on board and then buy drinks as we go to see how it really works out.

Agree. On our B2B we will bring wine and use our Elite+ HH drinks.

I believe that Celebrity is the most expense Mass Market cruise line for drinks, Specialty Restaurants, etc. JMHO!

I just did a pretend pricing based on my next cruise (35% off premium package which I already have) and if I do premium for the 2 adults and non alcoholic for the 1 child it’s actually just over 1/2 the price of the cruise itself including gratuities (I got a pretty good deal on the cruise itself but still…)

[asctony]

For our X TA Equinox 2025 14 Day OV is $3,300 total.

P pkg @ $65x2x14 = $1,820

P pkg @ $100x2x14 = $2,400

Go figure!

This is what I am trying later this year, I had the premium package booked but with cost of living rising I decided to skip the package and then just just my Elite HH drinks to save $.
