amberben Posted May 27, 2014 #401 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Whilst there hasnt been a list of cocktail prices previously published by X, the Bar Menus did previously all show a range of cocktails many of which fell within the classic package. On Eclipse last week, we couldnt find a single bar menu showing a cocktail within the classic drinks price limit. They were available, you just needed to ask a barman or rely on the A4 sheet of cocktails from Guest Relations. Not really ideal though. Thankyou Kevin, No not ideal at all. Yes I do like cocktails and would like to try more when I am on a cruise with the classic package. But I am just confused why they should put "All cocktails up to $9.50"....I really find that strange because as you have said there isnt a cocktail menu? Or Daiquiris either.? Surely I am not the only one to like them.? Please Celebrity if you are reading this think about getting a list with prices. You could even do Large and Small ones couldnt you.! If that would be easier. I do not want part of my day being wasted going from bar to bar to find one within my range.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be quite simple really without all the stress. Enjoy your cruise and relax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your cruise and relax :D But the issue is looking at the current bar menus would not help as there no cocktails on the menus that are within the classic package price level. I dont normaly drink cocktails but wanted to try some on our cruise but having no knowledge of what to ask for then I was stuck. The stress is caused by X. I'd like it to be simple but it wasnt.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk In general, most bartenders onboard will be happy to make recommendations that are within your package allowance. I also have no idea about Cocktails,but I asked them to surprise me, as long as it was within my allowance. When I go on my next cruise, which granted is awhile away, I will see if they have any new menu's and post them here....well, unless someone else manages it earlier that is. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to wait until Oct:( Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app I think you may be right! I'm sure I'll have a great time! At this point, it's more the principle of the way Celebrity is handling this whole mess. It's unbelievable to me that their CSR's have not been informed about the changes to the Classic Package. Makes me think I will need to print the "official" Celebrity statement on things and bring them on board with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, there's not a huge choice available in that price range though, so I wouldn't recommend it if you especially want to try lots of cocktails. But if you get it and are comfortable with that as just a small option, then that's the right way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cruise Junky Posted May 29, 2014 #421 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Yes most likely as they are for premium brands There were some rumblings at the start of our Solstice Hawaii cruise that the Martini Bar was going Premium too (The order had been given to the staff). A lot of people were upset, not sure how it ended at the end of the cruise. I haven't heard any posts about it here, so maybe they dropped it for now. I predict it's coming though.

gizmodog Posted May 29, 2014 #422 Share Posted May 29, 2014 we had a lot of problems with our classic drink package also, barely any drinks included any longer from what we had looked at on their website prior to our cruise. No more Baileys on the rocks, but yet you can get a Baileys Coffee….make sense? Sure doesn't to me. Anyway, I was extremely discouraged from ever falling for their 123 classic package again we would be better off to get the tips and shipboard credit and pay for whatever drinks we decide on.
