Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. It is possible to do an upgrade from Classic to Premium on the website. You can also upgrade WiFi. Login to your Celebrity account. Select Upcoming Cruise and then Manage Reservation. Scroll way down and select Drink Packages and you should see the packages. You should also see an upgrade option. If you don't see the upgrade, look for a show all packages option. Sorry, I have already upgraded using these steps so I can't give the exact final step. You will not receive the additional Captains Club discount online if there is no sale. You do have to call for that, but they will not combine that with a sale price. However, Celebrity has been heavily discounting beverage and WiFi upgrades with their flash sales. Watch for Black Friday if you don't cruise before then. We received 50% off our beverage upgrade a few months ago. A few final things. Don't be afraid to book the upgrade if you see 30% or 35% off. That's better than Captains Club discount and if you find it lower at a later date just cancel and rebook at the lower offer. Lastly, this all applies to US residents only 95% of the time. Our UK, Australian and Canadian friends rarely see these sale offers - if that's you and you see a discount, grab it.
  2. The photo was taken from the Silhouette. However, other people reported seeing these prices on the Beyond and Summit. Interesting that the Celebrity website doesn't mention the premium package now covering up to $20, but it wouldn't surprise me. Unless someone had multiple premium cocktails each day it was cheaper to NOT upgrade from classic and just pay the $2 or $3 a couple of times a day. If premium cocktails are now $20 and the covered amount for classic doesn't go up it might get more people to upgrade.
  3. It has been reported that there is new pricing in the Martini Bar and the normal twist martini is now $20. Photo of new menu page is included below. In the past the menu prices had a small footnote that an 18% gratuity would be added. That footnote is now gone as is the note that there are 2 sizes available. Someone has speculated that the new $20 simply represents the original cost + the gratuity. However, the numbers don't quite add up to original price plus gratuity. The premium beverage package on the Celebrity website is still showing that it includes drinks up to $17.00. Has anyone heard whispers of a beverage package package price increase or an increase to the maximum price covered? Is this going to go along with the recent Celebrity trend of upcharges - room service, 2nd lobster tail - and even with the premium package will we soon see a $3 charge at the martini bar? (I cannot see where an upcharge for every transaction would go over well). We normally upgrade to the premium package and with 2 cruises booked I would rather upgrade now at current pricing if there is a price change coming. I want to be clear, nobody is reporting any new / different upcharge at this time. However, if someone is on board now, I would be curious what bartenders say they have been told regarding upcharges from Classic and Premium and the amount they are now charging.
