Thank you all folks :)

Thought it might be latin for having been given the worse cabin they could find or something horrible...

It shows up on my booking on the my cruise summary page on the right where I can see a list of what I have paid for, flights transfers etc. etc.

The UK booking office is very, very poor actually.

We booked our cruise in February and had the drinks package with the 123go offer.

Since then, I have been e-mailed around 12 different invoices - all of them incorrect.

Every time I have to contact them - every time they say it will be revised today - every time I get a different invoice, which is incorrect, or just the same wrong one mailed to me.

Called them again this morning, same old story, waiting for yet another invoice........

Took out the classic drink package when I booked but I cannot find any reference to it now.

Any ideas of where I can view it?

I booked my cruise for november because of its itinary.

The ship itself and the free drinks package was not a factor in booking. It was/is just an added bonus.

I am sailing on the Millemneun in November out of Sinagpore. I too was given the free classic drinks package.

And its FREE* :D

So as its a perk of the booking I don't really care if x or y drink is not on the list I saw on the UK site - the UK site is rubbish anyway - try booking a cruise on it!

There will be whole lot of FREE drinks on the list that will save me $300/400 dollars during the 14 days - especially the sea days.

There is a bus stop at the terminal entrance for about 2 euros, there will of course be taxis charging about 10 euros...

Go into the Thomson site and along the top is a tab 'Shore Excursions'. Select that then you will see two boxes - one for if you have booked the other just to browse the excursions if you haven't yet booked.

If you have booked a cruise you will need to enter your details as well as the booking reference. That should take you to the excursions relevant to your cruise and you can book them at that point should you wish.

Thank you kruzseeka :)

Just booked the trips my elderly mother wanted for her first ever cruise. May 2 on the Majesty

Sailing on her own to...at 76 :)

How do you pre book excursions? I cannot find any details on the Thomson cruise site.

Or if your feeling energetic you can walk as we have done.

Get off the people mover at the bus station, croos to the other side, walk over the bridge with the steps and your then by the train station.

Just stroll in the same general direction, making sure you stop for a drink on the way in the small cafes in the back streets, which are excellent, especially the tables are outside. Not expensive either.

Then get the water bus back to the train station again - it will take about 30/40 minutes as it stops fequently.

Thank you all for the quick replies :):)

I have always cruised with the missus and therefore I always register my card when we board. With Celebrity and all other cruise lines I have sailed with.

Now, my mother hopes to go on here first cruise soon with one of her friends.

Are they both allowed to register a credit card each when they board? therefore each paying for themselves - my mother does not drink so will be spending very little on board.

Or will they have to just register one card and check the bill at the end of the cruise and try to decide who ordered what and where - a bit awkward to say the least?

There is a reply further down the board on casual attire with a reference to "wife beaters"

Is this some sort of American attire, or is there a dress code for that as well?

..and at a ridiculous rate

I bought mine for the cost of hiring onboard. Plus it has not been worn or sweated in by anyone else....

I heard of a British passenger this week on a Caribbean cruise. They had a heart attack. They were taken to a hospital in Barbados for a few nights. Then flown by air ambulance to Miami where they spent a further couple of nights before being flown back to the UK Hope he had travel insurance.....

Going by the fact that there seems to be a large amount of threads on the free drinks packages, I suppose a large number have taken this option.

I also assume that the passengers who have this free drinks package will be taking good advantage of it whilst onboard.

So has anyone found the bars running out of any drinks while on a cruise?

I'm on the ship in november - I will be taking my dinner suit for formal nights.

Far better to read what is on the Clebrity website and go with that.

You will just get a thousand different answers from people on here....

Just put what to pack in the search box.

Yes the $1400 is for the both of us.

Having never had a drinks package with Celebrity I will have to find out onboard..feel a hangover starting already ha ha

Incidently not being a huge drinker, we had a drinks package on another cruise line.

Saved up all the receipts - had a drawer full at the end of the week. Added them all up and only just broke even.

Hoping for a better slurp this time....

It says on the UK site that its worth "up to $1400"

Where do they get that figure from? Did they take an average bill for people who have had this package? Or is there a maximum bar bill?

Thank you for your speedy answers :)

I have the 123go classic package as well. If that is the full list of drinks then I will be more than happy :)

Just one question though...Am I still charged 15% service charge for the drinks to be brought to my table or to my room? Or is this included in the package?
