CaptainZ Posted February 13, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Well it looks like there's another drink package on Celebrity. I just read this about The SIP & SAVE Package, where you buy 'blocks' of drinks 5 at a time as many times as you want. I just read the info, and sometimes I'm asking myself if there is an employee at Celebrity in charge of making and changing drink packages and policies fulltime for 8 hours a day. https://onlycelebritycruisedeals.com/celebrity-drink-package-2019-2020/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upwarduk Posted February 13, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I wonder if the price varies on the ship. Obviously buying before you sail you are making a saving, the Classic Sip & Save package for 5 drinks costs $29, which works out at slightly lass than $6 per drink ( Classic package drinks are up to $9).

jelayne Posted February 13, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 13, 2020 The has been offered sporadically on board some ships in the past. For those that don’t drink but 1 or 2 drinks a day therefore not taking the beverage package perk or those who are Elite and take advantage of the Elite Happy Hour this sounds like a good deal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of getting it for our first day, as we don’t have a package attached to our booking this time. We are Elite, so after the first day we will get our drinks at the Elite breakfast ( mimosas) and the Happy Hour. However, I cannot see it on the Web site to pre order. Another question We are Concierge this time and I have read that we will be left a bottle of fizz in the cabin, which we can change for still wine. Will we be charged corkage fee if we take it to MDR, as we didn’t bring it on to the ship with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydbarrett Posted February 14, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 14, 2020 That sounds great! I am bringing my 2 bottles and then will have maybe a few beer on sea days so this would be perfect for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCL may not be the cheapest but its 100% clear pricing across the brand, not charging different ship different day pricing. totally insane to change prices that much ....unless you are an airline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michidoeme Posted February 14, 2020 #11 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Will this sip and save package be available on all ships, all cruises or just select cruises and certain dates ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provence55always Posted February 15, 2020 #12 Share Posted February 15, 2020 We were on the Constellation a few weeks ago and inquired about the five drinks for $29 and were told it was not available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikkelhansen Posted February 15, 2020 #13 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Sip & Save has thus far ONLY been available to buy onboard. Hence why you may have been told it's not available on your sailing - it can't be pre-purchased in any way, and as such is not "available for your sailing" with the customer service agents. Of course, the package may indeed not be available on your sailing, but I suppose you won't know until you're onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awhfy Posted February 15, 2020 #15 Share Posted February 15, 2020 They offered the drink cards on day 3 of our Eclipse sailing to Hawaii in September. There were two levels. 5 for $29 (classic) or 5 for $59 (premium). We saw several of the premium cards being used at the Martini bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are Elite and enjoy the free happy hour and moderate drinkers, so we don't drink a lot. Our only drinks outside the happy hour are usually at dinner. We usually buy a 7 bottle wine package for a 14 day cruise, but may try this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabear Posted February 15, 2020 #17 Share Posted February 15, 2020 This is a great Inprovement in packages. I'll have a few drinks & previously upgraded our package. It was always unfair imho that I also had to upgrade with dw as ell since since she does not drink much & doesn't care of the type of drink. For the first time in over 20+ cruises we've booked without any package & I was planning to use our elite status for a few drinks & pay for individual ones . I'll definite buy one of the new packages if offered . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always exchange our bubbly for a bottle of red wine, which has a Celebrity label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in Concierge last week on Edge and the welcome letter specifically said we COULD NOT trade the sparkling wine for other wine. Just FYI.
