Try drinking a rum with Pepsi versus with Coke. Way better with Pepsi.

I think a bit of both.  I remember the waiter walking around with bottles of CK Mondavi on basic which is what I drank during HH. It was actually very good surprised it was not on premium. 

Perhaps it was?  Historically some of the items on the HH menu were not in the Classic package.

Are you allowed to admit in public that you mix scotch with coke?

Since you asked I usually drink it on the rocks which some people think is a no no.  But once in a while I want a scotch and coke.  Now the really really good scotch I would never mix with anything and I drink it neat.  I drink Macallan 12 and will mix that.  Sometimes Johnnie Walker Black.

Both Pepsi and coke can shove it, 😁

I like the store label stuff better , not as  sweet compared to the Major over price stuff 😁

Especially if you're a Quebecois like me. Now living in Ontario

I tried drinking RC Cola a few years ago.  It didn’t taste the way I remember when I was a kid.  Here in North Carolina we have Cheerwine.  Some people are crazy about it.

I, for one, cannot wait to read your take on the sailing...

 

bon voyage

I'm on the Sky princess for a quick 7 night Western Caribbean next month.  it was very cheap with no drinks package but do plan on purchasing martinis and wine.  I'll be doing a comparison with Celebrity's offerings.

Will do for sure. I'm solo in cabin so can bring on a bottle of wine at no charge plus an additional for $15 corkage fee regardless of where I drink it.  Thats 10 bucks less than Celebrity's fee

I think you'll find that everything is slightly less expensive than Celebrity. We sail both lines.

2 bottles per passenger on Celebrity.   No corkage fee if you have a beverage package.  These are recent changes in the last 6 months or so.

Princess allows 1 plus $15 for second bottle but their drink packages are cheaper than Celebrity

I think it was on this thread that someone said Princess was/had raised the price on their drink packages and about the same as Celebrity.

I'm a beer drinker and I'm sticking with classic, last X cruise, the month covid hit, I had trouble finding beers on the premium list at a lot of the bars so I was drinking mostly beers on the classic list anyway.

Yes, Dh drinks only beer- not liquor. But he will want the IPAs and such-  not just Coors. I was also wondering what the cost difference would be in deciding whether to upgrade from Classic or just pay per drink. Have we gotten a definitive answer on the upgrade cost for a week cruise yet? Seems like the answers and Higher Math are all over the place.

 If they ever switch to Pepsi I'll cruise at least twice as often. 

 One of the main reasons I go ashore in ports that we've visited multiple times is to score some Diet Pepsi or Diet Mt. Dew.

When he finds out he will insist I upgrade him.  “But you don’t care what you drink?”  Why don’t I just do it now?  Maybe because I enjoy pain.  Maybe because I want to save money.

I thought  I had read that everyone in stateroom had to be one the same package?

Well Celebrity should have told me that before THEY ruined my marriage.  They had no trouble upgrading only me a few days ago.  As of this morning. we are both on premium.
