New cruisers

[Airportlimbo]

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to gather some information for some new cruisers, we've never taken Celebrity before (last cruise was on Princess). I'm looking for a sample Millennium Today for Alaska so they can get a feeling of what the actives are on board. I'm also trying to find a somewhat recent drink menu with prices to give them an idea of what to budget with and with out a drink package. Most of what I've found so far has been from pre 2011.

 

Thanks for the help, my google fu is apparently weak.

You can try clicking above where each of the ships is listed, then look for threads that are reviews. You may find some daily activities there.

 

Good luck

Found it thanks!

 

Man that was almost embarrassing :)

I can't give you the drink prices, others have indicated how you may find that on cc.

 

However, I keep track of what we spend on alcohol during a cruise. Before DW and I became elite and benefit from the free happy hour, we would normally spend no more than $500 for two for two weeks. That includes wine, beer, drinks, etc.

Although water, fruit drink and basic coffee are free remember to add in costs for bottled water, sodas, coffee from the coffee shop. It is amazing how these can add up and make a drinks package worth while!

We drink the tap water on the ship; don't buy specialty coffee or juice; and don't drink soda.

We also have insulated water bottles that we fill before going ashore. Cuts down buying ashore.

Drink prices will be almost a mirror image of what you experienced on Princess. Note: Celebrity does not have a coffee card, we went thru 2 each on the Ruby in 2012:D If you kept your sea pass statement from that cruise, pull it out and take another look. That will be a great road map.

 

ps: then ask yourself, did you really want to try that pina colda with a shot of Myers floated on top, but pass? We used to refill our water bottles too.
