luv-my-kids Posted January 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2014 So sorry.....I have searched for my answer, and even called Celebrity for an answer, but no luck. 1. On the classic package it said includes frozen drinks up to $8.00. I have looked at a few of the posted menus and can not find out if a strawberry daiquiri or Miami vice is covered in the $8.00 and under drinks. I usually like one a day and I am trying to decide if I should just pre pay and upgrade to the premium package. 2.Also we are in the concierge class cabin and was told we will have a bottle of sparkling white wine waiting in the cabin for us. With us both having a drink package and being red wine drinkers we will not need this. I was wanting to give it away to someone on board who may not have a drink package. But if they are running the 123 promo won't most everyone on the ship have the free drink package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justcrusn Posted January 28, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2014 1. Yes, those should be covered. Wait until you are on board and upgrade then IF you feel the need. You probably won't. 2. Yes most (but not all) will have the same promo. A few have been able to swap the bubbly for something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeko Posted January 28, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I have often traded the white sparkling for a red wine. Send them a message and make it a special request. Print their reply just to make sure they do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv-my-kids Posted January 29, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks for the reply's. I guess most everyone will have the drink package and I won't be able to give the bottle of wine away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeko Posted January 29, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Like I mentioned before you can exchange it for a bottle of red....we have in the past. We have also given the bottle to our Cabin Stewart. They bring it back to there cabins for a bit of celebration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wine-O Posted January 29, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks for the reply's. I guess most everyone will have the drink package and I won't be able to give the bottle of wine away. Bring it to sail away and share it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the drink package and will not need it. I have tried giving my room attendants left over wine from other cruise lines and they have always told me they are not allowed to accept it. On our last Princess cruise we have 2 unopened bottles of wine and we ended up finding someone who was not flying home and gave it to them. The room attendant told me they are not allowed to accept alcohol as a gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greydog Posted January 29, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks for the reply's. I guess most everyone will have the drink package and I won't be able to give the bottle of wine away. Even though my sailing offered BEV123GO, I opted to take the price reduction for military and will come out ahead with modest out-of-pocket bar tab, especially since Elites get the evening happy hour. However, many indeed will be benefiting from the beverage promo. Happy Cruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbird Posted January 29, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Just off Eclipse and had at least one daily. The bartender we frequented was a very generous pourer also! We even brought fruit from the buffet to mix them up a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miched Posted January 29, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 29, 2014 On our last few cruises we weren't able to exchange it so we packed it and took I home. 🍺🍸🍻🍺 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attilamom1217 Posted January 29, 2014 #11 Share Posted January 29, 2014 We gave our sparkling wine to the cabin steward as we don't drink it. There were many on our cruise who did not have the promo or did not take the drink package. by the third night in BLU, the sommelier didn't need to see our card - he knew who had the package and who didn't.

wallie5446 Posted January 29, 2014 #12 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks for the reply's. I guess most everyone will have the drink package and I won't be able to give the bottle of wine away. Our steward exchanged ours for a red last Nov. We asked one of the bar tenders we 'sat' :rolleyes: with a few times each day how many had a drink pkg, he said it was about 50/50. So if you are on a mission to give it away, ask enought other pax and you should have a 1 out of 2 chance :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyGUofD Posted January 30, 2014 #13 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I gave ours to a couple on their honeymoon (no beverage package) that had a table near ours in the dining room. Just brought it to our mutual Sommelier who presented to them at dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifa Posted January 30, 2014 #14 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Don't forget that those in inside cabins don't get the 123 Go package ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
