Drinks and More. I really want that.

So I see this in my planning list but it wont let me add to my cart. I called and they said it was discontinued in November. Why would they tease me??? It is a really good upgrade.

 

FROM* $9.00  USD per day

Upgrade From Premium Package To Drinks & More Package

They did discontinue it.  The Celebrity cruise planner  is not the greatest.

 

We tried Drinks & More  once and it wasn't that great a deal.  The bottles of wine are very low end ( you don't get a choice), the wine tasting was jammed  and the mini bar was restocked with set items, you had no choice the liquor, beer, soda, etc. The only thing of value to us was the $50 casino credit.

I would book it on any cruise 7 days or under if it was offered...had it last August on EQ...made the casino credit back on roulette..enjoyed the Tito's on the balcony, and had a few left over that I brought home.  Hindsight tells me that someone that wanted to could get 4-5 mini bottles a day stashed away..maybe that's why they cancelled it.

In November, 2021, I saw Drinks & More being offered in our Cruise Planner for our Hawaii/Australia cruise in October, 2022 and purchased it.  A few days later, I read posts that it was discontinued BUT if you purchased it, it would be honoured.  My biggest concern was from the time I booked it until we cruise, how likely is it that any crew member will have any idea what I'm talking about.  So, I copied the receipt, description of the Drinks & More benefits and the Order History from our planner that I will be sure to take.  It still is showing in our Order History so I'm hoping it will not be removed.

My understanding was there are no changes allowed.  So it's great you enjoyed the vodka, but I'm a scotch drinker.  I couldn't get anyone at Celebrity to tell me if I could ask for scotch.

Our room steward was brand new last August...he did his best..I was lucky to keep the stock in the fridge updated...we were on the 2nd Equinox sailing back...I tried to get some Bourbon, but no go, I'm not even sure he knew the difference in any of the liquors.  Not sure how many different brands of mini bottles they have on board...

Our experience was you could ask but the answer was a polite no.

Hello Celebrity?  Could I have that suite for $1,000?  What do you mean, "no"???

I understand the convenience of a stocked minibar but if you have a drink package, why pay for it when it's so easy to go to a bar to get a drink and bring it back to your room?
