Weather was beautiful. As for drinks - you are NOT limited to only those mixed drinks on the list. As nicely and bartenders are willing to do requests and often with upgraded booze. As for drinks during the day? At home I can usually make it till 5pm. Same on board. Good part of X is with package you could get maybe 30+ drinks if you tried and could navigate your way to a bar. Royal limited to 15 a day on our last cruise. Same for Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the Edge this past January and bartender was giving me Aperol spritzers during the HH which I don't believe are included in Elite drinks. Do they keep track of ounces poured and where they are allocated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't take the package on that cruise. I did on the May Eclipse to Hawaii with upgrade to Premium. BTW the Aperol I make at home is far better than those onboard.

This year was definitely different, we were in Northern Iceland in September with jackets on since it was so warm out also out at midnight on the bow looking for the Northern Light in light jacket didn’t see any of the lights 😢 Edited November 11, 2022 by Ex-Airbalancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On some of the newer and/or Revolutionized ships there's a bar called Craft Social that's considered a Sports bar. Yes, something new-ish on Celebrity!

Most people are going to want a drink for sail away, or is that just us ?

I really don't agree with it and for that reason I won't purchase one I always have my own drink ready for sail away anyway. If Celebrity is going to offer drinks for Elite members during HH which is 5 to 7 pm then offer it for the entire cruise and stop making exceptions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alakegirl Posted November 18, 2022 #70 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) One night that they don’t provide you Free alcohol and the rest that they do has always been the policy. If you don’t like it you can always book Royal or some all inclusive line. Or go to world class bar since you say that you are happy to buy the drinks there regardless.

Silly policy if you ask me. Should be all or nothing. Maybe they will eliminate it on debarkation day next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your debarkation day is my embarkation day, and neither of us will be getting drinks during the 5-7 HH.

You are correct. I meant to say night before debarkation. What I'm trying to get at is Celebrity does not give their loyal guests a lot in the way of perks and the ones they do offer are being taken away little by little. One of the perks I enjoyed when in a CC was having use of Persian Gardens on a port day while it was quiet. Well now on the Edge class of ships that perk has been eliminated.

And now Celebrity doesn't even hand out a cheap glass of sparkling wine at embarkation. At least they didn't on our September Summit cruise. But we have been purchasing the CBP since it was introduced as a bundled option even before AI. But not everyone does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes purchase the AI and upgrade to premium all depends on the cruise only price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
