read2learn Posted July 31, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 31, 2022 My last Celebrity cruises included a beverage pkg so I never took advantage of this perk. I am booking a fare only cruise and wondered what type of cocktails are offered during Happy Hour. Are wines ever included?Thanks so much for any help!

Luv2Crus40 Posted August 5, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Thanks for posting the Elite + Captain's Club drink list. We're sailing next year Cruise Only and debating whether or not we need the drinks package. Bon Voyage on your upcoming cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagoffee Posted August 5, 2022 #6 Share Posted August 5, 2022 You might want to run the numbers and make a decision now. Purchasing a stand alone alcoholic drink package might be the worst deal. It might be more economical to change your booking to AI, because it includes the Classic alcoholic drink package, gratuities, and WiFi. Even if you do not use the WiFi, it might be a better deal. the above comments are based on possibly purchasing an alcoholic drink package only.

Luv2Crus40 Posted August 5, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Thanks for inpu but we'll have about $600 ob credit before sailing and another $400 once on board. Plan to use that to purchase drink packages,etc. Otherwise will go to waste because we don't do excursions anymore due to mobility issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted August 5, 2022 #8 Share Posted August 5, 2022 On recent Summit cruise with All In wasn’t worth it. It seemed like a great deal before we sailed. However, there were lots of drink ingredients unavailable. We were often told no. The included wines were fair to bad. Drank mostly water and diet soda. Even some diet sodas were not available at some bars. We were not sure if there was a shortage of drink suppplies or just a shortage of crew at bars. Either way, we were not getting what we requested. All In WiFi was a joke. It seldom worked. If it did, it was slow. The elite free WiFi worked better. Why? If I were to book another Celebrity cruise, I would do cruise only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gratuities are not ALWAYS included in HIA, only as a 'promotion'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure what HIA references. what is it? I was referencing AI. Which is the All Included which is Classic Alcoholic package, base Wifi, and gratuities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuAnn Posted August 6, 2022 #12 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Any idea what sodas and juices are included on the Elite HH menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luv2Crus40 Posted August 18, 2022 #13 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Not sure about juixes, but I believe it's cola products, seltzer/sparkling water and non premium water (i.e., only get Evian, etc. With Premium packages. I'm wondering if the non-alcoholic from from drinks like Virginia Pina colada only come with premium packages, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanabanana Posted August 21, 2022 #14 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Have been searching to find out what Celebrity is doing now for "happy hours"? We are Diamond Plus with RCL and they now are just giving us 5 free drink coupons per day to use whenever we want. Celebrity is still having "in person" gatherings? What are the hours? Thanks!

No in-person gatherings. However, the hours remain 5:00-7:00 pm, with no limit on the number of drinks. The same Elite drink menu is in place and is available at most of the bars onboard, excluding the Martini Bar, the World Class Bar and all restaurants.

Rare cruisestitch Posted August 21, 2022 #16 Share Posted August 21, 2022 The Celebrity elite happy hour does not take place on embarkation day. On the other days of the cruise, between five and seven, you may order a drink from the happy hour menu at nearly any bar on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luv2Crus40 Posted August 21, 2022 #17 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Someone said they got their free drinks during dinner in the MDR between 5 and 7. Anyone else have luck with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use one lot of your Elite minutes first then decide if your second lot will be enough or use them as a discount on a package. Sometimes there is a discounted package for the second half of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid it may be a thing of the past. I've done 3 cruises on S class ships since covid and it has not been staffed during HH on any of my sailings and I used to enjoy mingling with other guests there even did shore excursions with a couple I met.

Hmmm, I was on the Reflection TA this past April and the Sky Lounge was open for HH from 5pm to 7pm every day, with waiters coming around offering nice little snacks. Lots of people attended. Maybe they only offer HH on longer cruises? Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
