No, As others have said, go into your Cruise Planner, click on your initials in the upper right hand corner, select Order History and you should see something similar to this: This is the Premium Beverage Package. There is a different picture for the Classic Beverage Package. This is the only place you will see it until you get your Set Sail Pass on which it will show up as PASS (iirc)

There is an "Elite Breakfast" which is normally held in the Tuscan Grill. It is a continental style breakfast with no hot offerings. You can get various pastries, bagels, deli meats, and coffee's. There is no root or lounge like on Royal Caribbean dedicated to Elite guest. There is an "Elite Happy Hour" each day except embarkation where Elite can get free drinks, from a specific selection (see below) at most bars. Also unlike Royal Caribbean, the free drinks are not served in the restaurants so you much get your drink in a bar and take with you if you are dining between 5 - 8 PM.

Are those all sea days or is there also time ashore in hotels between sailings? Even with 4 bottles, you are going to have to ration it carefully to make it last. I would be looking at the different embarkation ports to see if there was a way to go ashore and pick up a new supply. Each cruise is considered a different cruise right and the rules are two bottles for each stateroom for each cruise 🙂 Makes you wonder if you could bring it all onboard at once since I believe you can double up for B2B's.

Thank you. Will get with the Suite Concierge once we are onboard to see what he/she can do. Will even mention it in our pre-cruise correspondence. I'd love to do a second lunch at Jamie's and a second dinner at Chops. Not sure I could convince my better half to more than that. She's a big fan of Coastal Kitchen and that's the main reason we sail in suites.

We another 'benefit' lost if you ask me. We do not always use it but it's nice to have. Will keep this in mind when considering future cruises.

I may have to give this a try. I usually just take one of the little bottle's of Tito's from the mini fridge if I want an in-room cocktail. I use to get the "Drinks and More" package but they have discontinued that offering.

The system will work as long as passengers cooperate. Those passengers who think the rules do not apply to them contribute largely to the mess. You have an assigned time, show up at that time or be willing to wait if you show up earlier than your assigned time. This is why we can't have nice things.

I agree and understand. However, we've only booked suites for our last five cruises so there are frequent times that we stop in at the Retreat Lounge/Michael's club and have a drink. Or evenings when we just want to sit in the Ensemble Lounge and have a drink or two. I am not sure I would get the drink package if it were not "included" with our suite. When we sail Royal Caribbean we also book suites and do not purchase the drink package. Between our five drinks each anytime/most anywhere and drinks in the suite lounge we do not see the need for more than one or two additional cocktails.

Two Bailey's and coffee in the morning; two glasses of wine with lunch, afternoon cocktail or two; pre-dinner drink, two glasses of wine with dinner, and one or two Bailey's and coffee before bed time. IT's easy to justify the cost.

Sorry, I have not experienced that. However, I believe it is a bottle of Veuve Clicquot delivered to your stateroom.

No. It is my understanding that they have done away with the bottled wine packages. I have not seen them since pre-COVID. They do offer a single bottle pre-purchase though under Gifts & Gear

Sorry I read it wrong.

So question -- As I am easily confused can someone tell he how this works. We have pre-paid for a Chops Lunch and a 150 Dinner. Using our BOGO can we get a second chops lunch and a second 150 Dinner for free? Do I set that up with the Concierge before boarding or wait until after we board?

Maki as four pieces per roll is what I am use to being served.

The "single glass" is a single glass for each of the four samples. So you are getting to taste four different varieties they offer in the Experience package. It was pointed out during our tasting that only two of the four that we tasted were available for purchase onboard by the glass. It does not make sense to sell individual drinks via the curise planner. It's just easier to walk up to a bar and order a drink as you said.

I cannot speak to the others but the McCallan Experience that I had was a tasting - a single sample of four different McCallan's. YMMV

That must be a post-COVID change. I was able to use the in port day pass to use Persian Garden and steam/sauna on Edge on our Februar 2020 during a port day.

I was not aware the bottle of alcohol was that large as I had read reports similar to @chemmosaying it was a small bottle of liquor. I wonder if having the Premium is what warranted the larger bottle?

When I go into "Drinks" under Plan My Cruise .. I see the three drink packages, but underneath those is another section "Drinks Experiences". which has the win and other packages.

Yes, the Window washing equipment is on the port site forward. You have an unobstructed view directly aft and 90 degrees to the right (facing aft). The equipment does not hamper your view unless you are looking forward when standing on the port side of your balcony.

By the same token, here is some pictures from Silhouette #2153 (deck 12 aft port corner S1). She has been revolutionized.

We sailed in 1665 on Celebrity Reflection in December. Here are a couple of pictures to give you and idea of what the room will be like, including the window washing equipment. Keep in mind, Reflection has not been revolutionized.

It is a one time setup of a bottle of alcohol and mixers. I can't remember the size of the bottle of alcohol but I am pretty sure it was less than 750 ml. I think that information was shared in another posting somewhere here on CC a couple of months ago. It will serve two people a couple of drinks. How many will depend on how strong you mix them.

Find the cruise you want and then shop multiple travel agents to see which gives you the best deal. We have had great success in booking while onboard and then transferring to a TA within the allotted time frame.
