Classic drink pkg question

[rid891]

They list the eligable spirits by name but also say up to $9 per drink...so, my question is if a " Premium plan " spirt is 9 bucks or less does it still work under the classic pkg? 

Specifically looking at Makers which in resent menu pixs shows a cost of $8.50... thanks in advance

 

[RICCruisers]

Classic drinks are up to $9.00. If Makers is $8.50 it would be included. My guess is that you are looking at an old drink menu. The only possible exception that I have heard of is the Drink of the Day which is sometimes under $9.00 and is not included in the Classic Package depending on who the bartender is.

I've been on 4 celebrity cruises with the classic drink package. 3 out of the 4 I was able to get makers, 1 I was not.  Bar keeps choice I guess.

If anyone has an updated spirits menu...could you please post it? Thanks

Is specialty and fancy coffee included under the classic beverage package, and if not, what about cappuccino? 

[wahwah1]

Cappuccino, latte, nice tea are included.  Some specialty coffee (with alcohol) were included if under the $9 limit. In March 2018, aspen coffee was raised over $9 so it was not included.

So it drinks are over $9 you can pay the difference?  

Or upgrade to the top of the line package and pay the difference in daily costs?  $55 to 69...$14 a day plus gratuity.  Sounds like an upgrade is my ticket.  

Man cannot be expected to live on Jim Beam BOURBON.  Not when there are better choices to be had.

I know in the past you were able to pay the difference if a drink was above the limit but I am unable to find that on Celebrity's website. Can anyone provide a link? 

Thanks

On the classic package can you get smoothies and canned soda included?

No smoothies but frozen drinks and yes to the canned soda.  Just based on my experience from last week

[Chefaleslie]

Great! thank you for the info.

On our last cruise, we did purchase a couple of drinks at the world bar that were even higher than the premium package limit and thus had to pay the difference.  I think it was a $1 more plus the 18% gratuity.

We leave this Wednesday on a 4 day on Infinity.  The package rates on the website are 55.00 classic and 69.00 premium - Are these the same rates as on board?

[RICCruisers]

Yes, but don’t forget to add the 18% gratuity.

Ok, thanks.  I was just wondering if it made sense to purchase online or wait till onboard.. I'll wait since it's the same price.

[Chefaleslie]

Is the 18% added to the Package price or per drink?

[cruisestitch]

Per package
