For my July 2022 reservation there is only an online option to purchase the Premium Package and no option to purchase an upgrade. Obviously another stupid website problem since the Classic is already included in the Always Included program. When AI started in a FAQ about upgrading the included Classic to Premium the answer said the upgrade option would be available to book via the CP beginning 90 days pre sailing. That’s when I’ll upgrade no rush to give them money far in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The discount may only apply after final payment up to 3-4 days prior to departure. Celebrity is inconsistent on this....take your best shot. I've always received the discount purchasing on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rucrazy Posted June 26, 2021 #30 Share Posted June 26, 2021 ours showed up on line weeks ago and we are to set sail during the holidays... I would have upgraded our packages on the website but our booking didn't show the beverage package uploaded to my husbands account so we simply called and ordered it from CS.. they made the corrections and added to both accounts in a matter of moments.

jg51 Posted July 12, 2021 #31 Share Posted July 12, 2021 . We don't know if anyone is going to be able to answer this, but we'll "give it a whirl." Let's suppose that we are beginning a 7-night cruise. For certain reasons, we are likely to retire early on the first night , having had very little to drink on E-Day (using our Classic package). If we wait to upgrade, from Classic to Premium, until the morning of the second day -- the first full day of the cruise -- will we be charged a daily upgrade fee ($12? per day) "times 6 days" (= $72?) per person ... or will we be charged the full amount ($12? per day "times 7 days" = $84?)? Thanks! . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbels Posted July 13, 2021 #32 Share Posted July 13, 2021 You will be charged for 6 days. One time our sommelier suggested that we upgrade our plan the first night. Since we would have not gotten the full value of the upgrade that day we told him that we would upgrade the next morning, presumably with someone else. he offered to upgrade us then and there but only charge us for 11 days on a 12 night cruise. Maybe you could get the same deal if you ask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMLAalum Posted July 15, 2021 #39 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Another Question- If we wait to upgrade to Premium once aboard to make use of "Best Price Guarantee OBC" which can only be accessed once on the ship, do we still get the Elite discount?

Never showed up on my Celebrity reservation so I called Cap't Club. The rep found my credit and then contacted the excursions dept. to tell them I had it. The excursions dept. informed him that it was truly OBC only, but if I waited to book it onboard that would be ok! Since the excursion was on our must-do list and I was concerned that only a limited # could be accommodated on the small boat tour, I went ahead and paid for it. Frustrating!!! But hopefully there will be further price reductions since we have 54 days left to take advantage of the Best Price Guarantee!

Oh boy for most passengers it is far cheaper not to upgrade but to pay for the odd drink that may be over the basic price.vRemember you only pay the difference which can often be just $1 plus the tip. My rule of thumb is if Celebrity are pushing something it is for their benefit not ours. You can check the bar prices and do the math yourself before committing to the upgrade. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cruise isn’t until next May on the Summit & I will definitely upgrade. Did the upgrade come out to be $10.80pp per day with the discounts?

For me even if the best I do is break even there is a convenience of not having to sign something every time I go over the amount covered. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DENIE Posted July 16, 2021 #48 Share Posted July 16, 2021 On 6/8/2021 at 6:58 AM, FastandFurious said: $84 total for 7 days. We have found that when you buy it onboard there is an advantage. The seller gets a commission and is appreciative in beneficial ways. Thus we always buy from our dining room wine steward. Agree! We've purchased on board, but usually from a bartender (Martini Bar). They give us fantastic service all cruise long! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
