Swinden Posted April 19, 2015 #826 Share Posted April 19, 2015 So a quick comment - I just tried upgrading from the Classic to the Premium Pkg which should have been $140 ($10 x 7 nights x 2 ppl) online.....and checkout quoted me $974.50. Glad I was not too quick on hitting the "Continue" button.....that is quite the markup. Cheers all, MS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price you were quoted $974.50 is the price to PURCHASE the Premium Beverage package. I believe the only way to upgrade is to phone Celebrity.

CallyCruzer Posted April 20, 2015 #830 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I called also- twice - and both agents said the upgrade definitely goes up tomorrow no matter what - so was able to upgrade both of my 2016 cruises. Thanks to posters on CruiseCritic in getting the word out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riredsox Posted April 20, 2015 #831 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I just called to upgrade and the Celebrity rep said they got a memo 5 days ago saying the upgrade would be $11.80 on board on all 5 of my booked cruises. We'll see...:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallie5446 Posted April 20, 2015 #834 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Ya'll we are watching and wishing we were 26 miles west of the house tonight.

I don't have that faith but at least now if I am charged the higher rate in August this year I won't get upset on the cruise. Might hear about it here on CC though.:o :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I have dinner in the MDR in shorts? :o Do all the cabins have showers? Can I bring my own water on board? Are there coffee pots in the cabins? Can we make a 7:00 am flight if we dock at 7:15? Are there cabs at the pier? If we have a private tour and are late getting back, will the Capt wait for us? May the force be with ya'll!

Feelin' Nauti' Posted April 20, 2015 #839 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I hope with the increase of the beverage package they have enough liquor on board. First day they ran out of chardonnay and also the ingredients for a Long Island Iced Tea :eek: Yes, you are seeing GREEN :eek: Wicked taste. :cool: Ugh!

shanklin Posted April 20, 2015 #842 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Dear Mr or Ms Celebrity Cruises "Official" Thank you for your post number 810 confirming that it should only be $10 to upgrade from the Classic to the Premium package. Can you give us a name or reference to quote in the very unlikely event that we are unable to use our on board credit to do so in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chamima Posted April 20, 2015 #844 Share Posted April 20, 2015 For a 14 day cruise for 2 people the upgrade price goes from $330 to $530.Not quite double . Thus my "almost" double, but then again Feelin Nauti - saw that and knew my intent. Miss you and Allen!!! Hi Jane! I should have said almost double rather than not quite double - that's what I meant. I thought the actual figures would show that. We miss you guys, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsb Posted April 20, 2015 #845 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Just called the enhancement department and was told it would be $11.80 a day or $82.60 for the 7 days to upgrade to premium. Can do it now or when we get on board. (Dec 6th) 1-800-556-8209 Edited April 20, 2015 by gsb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can do it now or when we get on board. (Dec 6th) 1-800-556-8209 Hopefully, everyone in Celebrity HQ and on the ships will read their mail soon and this crazy confusion will end. As it is, I am sure Celebrity bookkeeping is going to have to credit some folks back who were overcharged due to misinformation on board. If anyone is told by a celebrity person (on a ship or just calling in to customer service or other) that the upgrade charge is more than $11.80 a day, please get their name and/or contact ID so that we can help "celebrity cruises" get everyone giving consistent information.

Feelin' Nauti' Posted April 20, 2015 #847 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Was it St Patrick's day? What the hell did they put in that? It was Easter day that drink was made.

riredsox Posted April 20, 2015 #848 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Jill did you upgrade? I have done it for my 4 cruises. Hi Gail! I tried to last night but the first cruise I tried it for, the Oct 5th Infinity, wouldn't go through because it was a group booking not on the Celebrity site yet. I was assured it would be $11.80 and if not...well I will just sick Joe on them!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blrabbit Posted April 20, 2015 #849 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I think both package have gone up the same amount so their different is still $10 + tips which change from 15% to 18%, so will cost you a bit more now.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
