mcw Posted July 4, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) Hi Everyone. So much looking forward to being back at sea! Quick question, I tried to pay for the drinks package upgrade (from classic to premium) and it keeps showing an error page when I select and try to pay for it? Has anyone else managed to make it work? Thanks Mark. Edited July 4, 2021 by mcw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mim Lloyd Posted July 4, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Same happened to me so I rang Celebrity and they did it over the phone. They said it was because my TA hadn't yet paid them the full payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most passengers it is much cheaper to pay the extra cost for any drink not included in the basic package. The basic goes to $9 if you choose a $10 drink you just pay the $1. You have to drink a lot to get back the cost of the upgrade. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mim Lloyd Posted July 5, 2021 #5 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I think it's worth it for me. The difference is £8.40 per day (taking into account my 10% Elite discount). I like proper champagne which is $6 more per glass than Prosecco or their sparkling wine, and most of the martinis in the Martini bar are over the Classic limit. Add in fresh orange juice at breakfast and a couple of speciality coffees, and I've we'll got my money's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This cannot be done on the ship, or online. You have to ring : 0800 2404323. Edited July 5, 2021 by upwarduk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcw Posted July 5, 2021 Author #7 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I am with you Mim, a few extra/better drinks and it’s worth the price. We are on the 14th August for a week, so it’s not a huge amount more. Can’t wait, I am so excited! My first Celebrity cruise... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mim Lloyd Posted July 5, 2021 #8 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Especially as we'll be spending most of our time on the ship, it's well worth the money. When we dock in my hometown of Liverpool I'm going to stand on deck with a glass of champagne in my hand waving down to my fellow scousers! On the other hand, the cost to upgrade the WiFi from the included Surf (which is very poor) to stream is extortionate. I rang today and just to upgrade one device is over £58 and that includes my Elite discount of 30%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
