Celebrity Century-Alaska 2014..newbie question

[SA71]

So what exactly IS included on the Century (obviously the room and dining in the MDR and buffet but what else...). Drinks included at breakfast? Are the alcoholic beverage packages worth the cost? Is room service included? Specialty coffees? Is there "high tea" service mid afternoon? Is there food available in the lounges, and if so, is it included? Obviously the bar, spa, excursions, tips are extra...but just looking to budget for the extras. Any and all comments appreciated. Thanks.

Drinks included at breakfast? Coffee, tea, milk, some juices (fresh squeezed orange juice is extra cost)

 

 

Are the alcoholic beverage packages worth the cost? Some say yes, some say no

 

Is room service included? Yes, no charge

 

Specialty coffees? Caffe latte, capuccino and the like are extra charge items

 

Is there "high tea" service mid afternoon? sometimes there is a tea once a cruise, at extra cost. Otherwise, there are usually tidbits late in the afternoon in the buffet. Also the sweets at Cafe al Bacio/Cova Cafe are no extra charge (although there is a charge for beverages at these locations)

 

Is there food available in the lounges, and if so, is it included? Sometimes pretzels or peanuts. Have also seen some tapas in the Wine Cellar locations, sometimes for an extra charge, sometimes for no extra charge. This one is really variable

Breakfast - coffee, tea, water, "juices", cocoa included most everything else is out of your pocket.

 

Beverage packages: search this site for calculators to figure if they are worth it to you.

 

room service: included. a small tip is nice.

 

specialty coffees - out of your pocket

 

high tea - yes, at a cost. low tea and snacks in the buffet for free daily

 

snacks in lounge - meow mix included. not much else

 

other comments - search this site --- everything has been discussed ad nauseam.

Room service meals are included. Drinks such coffee, juice, tea, lemonade are included. Burgers, fries etc from the grill are included. Shows are included. Most activities are included, some such as wine pairing seminars have a fee.

 

As to the drink package- whether or not it is worth the price differs from person to person. The drink package also includes fresh squeezed juice, bottled water, speciality coffees & soda in addition to the alcohol.

 

We just booked the Century to Alaska with the Pick Your Perk promo we chose the free Classic beverage package. If you haven't yet booked already now would be the time to do so.

Thanks. How much does one have to drink (alcohol) to make the package worth it? Looking at roundtrip out of Vancouver BC to Alaska in July.

search for a calculator... but loosely 7 drinks a day. (obviously on ship)
