20pluscruises Posted January 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I just read a recent member review who states the bevergae package is no longer unlimited and there is now a limit of number of drinks you may have. They state this is new in Jan. 2014....can anyone verify this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaroleSS Posted January 27, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 27, 2014 web site says nothing about that..... There WAS a price change if you purchased it onboard.....might that be what you are thinking of?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They state this is new in Jan. 2014....can anyone verify this? Seems odd as this very recent post shows the package being advertised in the "CelebrityToday" as being "unlimited". http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1979030 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They state this is new in Jan. 2014....can anyone verify this? Where did you read this? Link? Edit: I found it! It's the "cost-cutting cruise" on the recent reviews. Odd - I've read NO OTHER reviews that say anything similar. Edited January 27, 2014 by turning46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpgcycler Posted January 27, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Under member reviews...the most recent for Celebrity Century Also says soda was $4 per can and they poured some and took the rest away?

turning46 Posted January 27, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Also says soda was $4 per can and they poured some and took the rest away? I'd say this review lacks credibility. I have to agree. The part about "cancelling the buffets" doesn't sound all that believable, either. Maybe there was some confusion as to when dinner time is over and the more limited selections are out?

pna Posted January 27, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Could there be some confusion in that you can only order one drink at a time? Just a random thought. We are new to the drink package. Will have the premium on our upcoming cruise, so have been reading all the posts about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamima Posted January 27, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Does anyone at Cruise Critic proofread these reviews for veracity before publishing them? This is another quote from that review "When we brought this to Guest Services with proof the lady printed it out, made notes and we never got credits, after that complaint we did not get the today, and never got the time for the final breakfast." He is saying that they stopped delivering the Celebrity Today after he made a complaint. That isn't possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the reviewer is referring to the final morning (disembarkation), there is no Celebrity Today for that. All information, including breakfast times are included in the information sheet that explains the disembarkation process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjs Posted January 27, 2014 #12 Share Posted January 27, 2014 We were on the Millenium at New Year. There was some fine print in the brochure on board, that said up to the value of about $150 a day. This surprised us. We got up there on a couple of days but we just made sure to use both cards efficiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouremco Posted January 27, 2014 #13 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Very strange review with many unintelligible comments. For example, I have no idea what this means: "The ship needs work, it was worn down. The paint chipped on the deck and a constant flood in the islands." I wouldn't worry at all about the drink package comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess either way it would be pretty darn hard to reach $150 pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess either way it would be pretty darn hard to reach $150 pp. There is no limit. If a person can drink $150+ per day then all I can say is God Bless You!

20pluscruises Posted January 28, 2014 Author #18 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The way I read the brochure it was for total spend for the day. I guess you could maybe reach that limit if you have the smoothies, coffees, yogurt sundaes, soda, juices, water and several drinks. Dear gawd, you would spend half of the cruise in the ladies / mens room with that amount of liquid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyreddog Posted January 28, 2014 #19 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Was on Reflection last week...they most certainly did not limit our package in any way.....kinda wish they had....:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pottsiepa Posted January 28, 2014 #20 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I was on the Silhouette last week and I can tell you it definitely was not limited. We had the premium package and consumed more than $150 per day per person and had no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted January 28, 2014 #21 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Just off the Eclipse. No limit on beverage packages. 10 minute wait to order a second drink. Soda is always served with a 12oz can.:confused with the recent Century posting. Cans of soda not using a drink package cost $2.88 including the tip. They give you the whole can. If you have a drink package, drink as many as you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancerOT Posted January 28, 2014 #22 Share Posted January 28, 2014 While our cruise was last June, I can't speak to what they are doing now. But, I feel it would be foolish to place a limit on the beverage package. Carnival has a 15 drink limit per day on their package, which sadly does not include bottled water or those type of drinks. Based on several conversations with a variety of people, I think people consumed more on these packages then they would have they not placed a limit. Many many people said something along the lines of "well, I have had ten, I need five more to make it worth it". I truly believe that when you place a limit, people feel the need to hit that limit. However, when there is no limit, people don't have a goal to attempt to reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 28, 2014 #23 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hi Everyone, Regarding the drink package - I highly doubt anything has changed. My guess is, whomever posted that comment, was misinformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwhe Posted January 28, 2014 #24 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Te reviewer said they paid $4 for coke and $7 for Whisky, why when they had a drinks package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted January 28, 2014 #25 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Are we sure that the reviewer was even on the Century? Just as sometimes posters come to the wrong board here on Cruise Critic, mixing up cruise line names, is it possible that reviewer was on some other ship on some other line? So many things just seem off kilter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
