amscene1 Posted February 15, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I have found lists online and on the cruise planner of what beers are available with the Classic Beverage Package. Is there a list or price point that determines which beers are and are not available. For example "bud light" is one of the cheapest beers on board, but it is not listed on celebrities cruise planner. Can someone define the rules for me? also, if a beer is not included do I pay full price for one or just the difference like RCCL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wine-O Posted February 15, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Yeah, Bud Light is on the list on just about every ship. There are a lot of beers, but some vary from ship to ship. If you order one not on the list that is on the premium package, you just pay the difference + the 18% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esprit Posted February 15, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Heineken is within the Classic package but not Peroni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted February 15, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Classic has a limit of $9.00 per drink and if your selection is over 9.00 you only play the difference plus 18% gratuity. Selection varies by ship an by itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past you had to pay the full price if the drink was above the Classic ceiling price; but they changed the policy back in 2016 when they went to a single ceiling price of $9 per drink for beer, liquor and wine.

I must apologize it is $11 per the menu from our November cruise and $15.50 for the Premium. Edited February 16, 2019 by Jim_Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wine-O Posted February 16, 2019 #12 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I thought the maximum prices between beer and spirits for the two Packages differ. For Example, beer $7 and Spirits $11, and for the Premium, beers $9 and Spirits $15. $$ amounts just used as examples, not what they currently are.

Jim - Which ship and departure port - still $9 on the website. Could it have been a cruise with gratuities included in the price per glass? If not, then perhaps they are planning to raise the Classic ceiling price fleet wide since raising the Classic price from $55 to $59 per day.

That was the case before they made the change in mid to late 2016. Now there is a single ceiling price for beer, spirits and wine by the glass.

For several cruises my primary reason for upgrading to Premium was to be able to try some of those beers on their Premium list. I eventually realized that List does not equal Inventory. Most bars have little if any variety. Some servers will travel to another bar to find the tipple you requested, most will offer apologies and a Corona or Bud Light or some other light tasteless beer. Most ships do have one bar with a more diverse stock, if you really care then you can probably find it... Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomservo Posted February 16, 2019 #17 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I’m a little confused. Does it go by list, price, or both? For example are the beers in the premium list above considered premium because they’re on that list or because they cost more than the 9 or 11 dollar limit for the Classic package?

Personally I wont mind walking a bit to another bar to get what I want; but do the bar tenders know (and can tell me) where a particular drink is available, or do i have to treasure hunt it on the ship?
