Their pricing is way out as well, we did Fjords on Eclipse in May this year and paid just over £900 pp for a balcony cabin with free drinks and gratuities..same cruise in same balcony cabin next year is £1500 pp with free drinks and $100 OBC. Way overpriced for 8 nights!

I think the headings for the Classic and Premium package are missing from the relevant sections.

Also, some cruises later in 2016 have lost all offers, neither May's OBC, not the new one.

 

Also, you can only filter the 'selected cruises' by departure port, duration or ship, not the much more useful region or month. Do they ever use their own systems?

I'd like to know if this Select package is rolling out fleet-wide or if it is a special offer on a few cruises that is geared primarily to UK users. I'll update that drink FAQ accordingly as soon as some light is shed on this... :eek:

 

Now that I'm looking around online, it looks like Select is a drink package that is available on RCL? I wonder if it's being rolled out to Celebrity or if this is a big mistake/misunderstanding?

I booked a cruise last week from an American TA. With beverage package I am hoping that it's the classic package as until this morning I had never heard of select package.

Yes, very difficult to search the availability of the offer. I hate the use of the term 'selected' cruises. Also the selected cruises are only between 30 August 2015 and 30 April 2016. Not much of an offer unless you already had your eye on a cruise in that time scale!!

Bumping this up. I have just realised that we have been given the Select Drinks package on our upcoming cruise. We've always had the Classic Package and there is no mention of the Select Package online. We always upgrade to the Premium Package. Can anyone explain how that works if you have the Select Package?
