Has anyone heard of any BF deals for Celebrity?

To add on to what others have posted.

 

1. If you have a preference for the type of water, for example Evian - then you need the Premium package. It's the only water I drink so that's one reason I need the Premium. ;) They give 1 L bottles. There are some areas that have the tiny bottles which are good to take on an excursion. You get one bottle each time. We always make sure we grab a bottle before heading back to the cabin throughout the day this way we always have bottled water.

 

2. The allowance for alcoholic drinks - you can pay the difference with the exception of drinks at the Martini bar, you need the Premium package to get these...another reason I go Premium ;) There are some drinks around the ship that are over the Premium allowance, again you just pay the difference with the exception of a specialty martini flight that you have to pay for.

 

3. You can easily upgrade to Premium for the difference in price per day. So if the Classic is $55.00/day and the Premium is $65.00/day...then you pay $10.00 per day + 18% Gratuity. This is a one time charge you do as soon as you board. When we sail, if we don't have Premium already, then we upgrade as soon as we get on -OR- if we have it already included then we make our way to the Martini bar to order our first martini's and write our names in the ice. ;) With your classic package...you can upgrade for $10/day + 18% gratuity.

 

4. Cafe Bacio - drinks are included if you have the Classic Alcohol Package or Above. I am not a coffee drinker but I love Cafe Bacio! I stop many times throughout the day/night for an iced tea. Fresh brewed right in front of you. You choose the type of tea you want. Tea Forte is the brand they have.

 

Two more things: 1. Alcoholic drinks are not included with room service. 2. You can use your package on their private islands (Labadee, CoCoCay).

 

Final thoughts...when I first started cruising, they didn't have drink packages. You paid per drink. When they started having them, it was on Royal Caribbean and at that time both people had to purchase the package. Since sailing on Celebrity - both people do not have to have it (unless it's a free perk you choose) - but both people do not have to upgrade which is nice if one person wants it and the other wouldn't utilize it. After sailing with a drink package...I don't think I can go back to not having one! ;) Drinks, Evian and my fresh iced tea!!! =)

I thought I read that your drink package did work with room service but not on the mini bar in your cabin. Is this not the case?

seems like I have been seeing more and more theme nights on social media from CPT Kate and others. Any way to find out what will be on our Eastern Cruise leaving June 23 and when they will be so we can pack accordingly?

2 devices per person on go best or per stateroom?

Rome2rio.com will give you some rates. We are doing same thing, fly into FLL and shuttle service to Homewood suites Brickell. We booked a ride thru jayride.com with reasonable rates

has anyone done any of the excursions at St Thomas that has alcohol? If so what did you think? I would like to drink the day away on an excursion but want more than champagne and don’t want to wait till 2 hours in to start drinking if I feel like it.

I have sailed with RCCL and have some Crown & Anchor points. With Celebrity being sister company do any benefits transfer over for my upcoming cruise on Equinox in June?

been trying to find a menu for Tuscan. What Items were on the menu that you can recall? Thanks in advance

does anyone have menus from Tuscan and Murano? would be greatly appreciated to help in booking one. Thanks in advance

Has anyone noticed any mosquito issues? We are Eastern Caribbean at end of June. Don’t want to pack spray if not needed

Unfortunately she will be on vacation in June

Just saw that myself. Well we will roll the dice and see what they say. No to come up with back up plan lol

I mentioned this on another thread on the same topic: Why not tell the Captain what you want to do and then ask him (or her) if you could go to the Bridge for the proposal? I was on a cruise with Capt. Nick and he was so happy to invited a couple to a "special visit" to the Bridge one evening. The prospective groom popped the question. She said "yes" and their friends and family met them in Michael's Club.

I have called Celebrity and left message a few days ago and haven’t heard back. Will prob call again tomorrow! Thanks for great idea. Hoping it works out

Thank you all for the many ideas! So excited for this trip

Why wait so long? Why not a romantic proposal aboard ship on your first or second night?

 

Don't know when you're sailing, but St. Maarten is still pretty battered and bruised from last year's hurricane.

I put wrong stop lol. I mean St Thomas but can’t figure out how to edit name of thread. If I came up with good idea on board I wouldn’t be opposed to on board.

My gf and I are cruising Eastern Caribbean on Equinox in June with 2 couples. Looking for ideas to propose to my gf other than go to beach. Love the beach but any excursion suggestions to take us to unique places or views would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
