Cost to upgrade from classic beverage package to premium

[elapel01]

I forget how much it costs to upgrade from classic to premium beverage package? Does anyone know the exact price? :)

[imapost2003]

Just off summit last week, and have done it on silhouette last year. Price is $10 per day, you can do it up until 1/2 way through the cruise. My advice is wait till the first sea day to upgrade and save a couple bucks.

The total price is $11.80 pp per day. $10 plus $180 gratuity.

fat fingered, the gratuity is actually $1.80 per day.

Thanks everyone. I'm glad the gratuity isn't $180!

I'm thinking about upgrading to Premium onboard. On a 7 night cruise, does anyone know the latest day I can upgrade? Thanks!

We are planning on upgrading once on board to use OBC. After reading this may wait until the 2nd day...

Yes, the actual cost is $11.80 per day. That is less than the cost of a martini at the Martini Bar.

 

However, my travel agent always gives me the Premium Beverage package as a loyalty perk - whether it is a 7 night cruise or a 46 night cruise. I also get the onboard grats paid by the travel agent. Loyalty pays off!

 

Celebrity then gives me the ship's credits and the unlimited internet.

Haven't seen this asked in at least 4 days.

Always wait until you're out to sea. In some locations, if you buy anything while still in port you could be charged sales tax or vat. I usually wait until the casino opens.

Im pretty sure in the past it has been up until the 1/2 way mark.

So on a 7 day cruise last day to upgrade would be day 4, which i have done.

Some bar tenders are not aware of this and may tell you otherwise. I would consult guest services once on board to clear up any miscommunications.

Who gets the 18% gratuity when upgrading? The person who sold it or is it pooled?

Since on embarkation day, everyone is pushing the packages - regular and upgrades - the seller definitely gets a commission; who knows how much; my guess is that at least some of the 18% goes into the pool.

Glad you have the time to read this board every day

Most drinks only cost $1 each to upgrade from the Classic Package - unless you only drink the Premiums it's not really worth it IMO

 

We just got off Eclipse and looked at upgrading but at $283.20 for the two of us for the cruise, I'd rather save the cash - I think we ended paying just $50 extra by paying the $1 premium when we had something off the "expensive" list.
