dun123das Posted April 11, 2017 #301 Share Posted April 11, 2017 The only reason I ask for a canned tonic or coke is so that I can regulate the strength of my drink. Perhaps Celebrity could supply glasses or small jugs of tonic in place of the can - just a suggestion for compromise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bEwAbG Posted April 11, 2017 #302 Share Posted April 11, 2017 The point that stands out from the above post is: Guests who purchase the Classic Beverage Package have the option to order any beverages up to $9.Unless they have increased the price of canned soda to $10 then surely it is included. That same post has a link to a PDF that says Classic only includes fountain sodas. That is what people are reacting to.

kevinyork Posted April 11, 2017 #304 Share Posted April 11, 2017 The more I think about it the more I feel this change is ridiculous. I get the Classic Package that includes 2 alcoholic ingredients in an old fashioned but I cannot get a can of diet soda. Really? How silly is that?

Rare ORV Posted April 11, 2017 #305 Share Posted April 11, 2017 is this posted on Celebrity website? No, this is from onboard one of the ships, posted by a poster here. I do believe the package has changed since that handout was printed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pmymmw, Which is what we've been stating many, many times on this thread: a total contradiction from the official post clearly stating ANY beverages up to $9 are included in the Classic package and then an attachment which states canned drinks are included only in the Premium package. Which is correct - who knows? Perhaps it depends on the day of the week you're ordering and which ship and bartender pours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is correct - who knows? Perhaps it depends on the day of the week you're ordering and which ship and bartender pours! I think the problem is that when the change was made to the Classic package to make it more like the Premium (all drinks up to X$$$ and just pay the difference if over that amount) no one thought through that it WASN'T the same thing. The premium really IS ALL drinks up to $13 and pay the difference over the $13, but the classic is different. Why oh why oh why do they seem to implement changes without thinking through? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinyork Posted April 12, 2017 #308 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I Why oh why oh why do they seem to implement changes without thinking through? :( There is the message for X. They never test their changes. They implement them and face the backlash. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChucktownSteve Posted April 12, 2017 #309 Share Posted April 12, 2017 So there is a contradiction between what Celebrity wrote in the post and what they put in the attachment. Celebrity Cruises NEVER writes a post. They only copy and past from somewhere on their web site. We all know how accurate the Celebrity web site is. hahahahahaha ow, ow, ow!!! My side is aching from so much laughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 81Zoomie Posted April 12, 2017 #310 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Does this mean that any specialty coffees in the coffee bar that contain Baileys will now be excluded from the Classic pkg too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a gander at X's website about the 'new' alignment of the beverage packages and use that as the starting point of conversation about this. May be the best approach, for now. bon voyage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denatravels Posted April 13, 2017 #313 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Anyone else catch the language "packages are sold on a per cruise basis, and are not sold on a "per day" basis"-- does this mean cannot be prorated for purchasing later!

lovescarborough Posted April 14, 2017 #316 Share Posted April 14, 2017 On board Equinox now. Cans of soda are included on the classic package. Have had one just now. Also the packages are being promoted in the ships daily paper. The price limits are the new ones and it clearly says ' all fountain and can soda ' included. According to Celebrity's posting the new package was rolled out on this ship over a week ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 81Zoomie Posted April 15, 2017 #317 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I like to save a dollar when possible. Even when spending $1000s on a vacation, it's easy to be focused on the small details. Price of a soda can .... first world problem. We should be grateful we are so fortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Junky Posted April 15, 2017 #318 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I like to save a dollar when possible. Even when spending $1000s on a vacation, it's easy to be focused on the small details. Price of a soda can .... first world problem. We should be grateful we are so fortunate. Not always so easy. I have a 15 day cruise coming up, no perks. No way am I spending $3,000 cdn for the premium package but may have considered the classic if there was a 20% discount on packages. Now that cans aren't included, I won't be dropping that $2,000 on a classic package, we'll be buying our drinks individually as dropping $2,000 on a package and having to spend $4 on a pop is an insult.

The classic non alcohol still includes canned soda so maybe that would be worth it and buying alcohol as you go.

Let's hope X saw sense and have decided to keep the cans included in the Classic - perhaps all the negative replies both on here and FB have cleared their vision (bit like the new Edge infinite verandas - they now have a clear vision and they're leaving the 'future behind' :D).
