bhughey Posted February 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I imagine all the eye-rolling at the subject line 🙂 A little context to my question - I am elite plus with X, so have a good bit of experience sailing Celebrity - however, my next cruise is a work trip (with a fairly large group) that was booked through an agency. We've been told we have the classic drink package and are welcome to upgrade to premium should we choose to do so. I see on the celebrity site that is says "upgrade beforehand and save 5%" - not a huge deal, but some of my coworkers would like to upgrade ahead of time. Question is - where can this be done online? Can this only be done through the travel agent because there is no info in my online booking that shows I (we) have the drink package. Thanks in avance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbfb Posted February 28, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 28, 2023 We had to call celebrity to upgrade but with a big group I would see if the TA will do it. Elite and elite plus get 15% off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlueSkiesTX Posted February 28, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I totally forgot we get a 15% discount on the upgrade! Thanks for asking this question and the response. We were waiting for a bigger sale than 9%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted February 28, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 28, 2023 It cannot be done online; you must call to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for asking this question and the response. We were waiting for a bigger sale than 9%. When I did my upgrade a few months ago they gave me the 15% on top of the 9%. Not sure that always happens but good luck when you call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhughey Posted February 28, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) Ok, so the answer leads to another question - I usually prefer to book direct with x, but since this was done through a travel agent, will celebrity assist with the reservation or send me back to the agent fgror the drink package upgrade? (and whoohoo for extra 15% off :)) Edited February 28, 2023 by bhughey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
