Kelownadon Posted April 29, 2023 #5 Share Posted April 29, 2023 With the classic beverage package I always start my day with a caramel macchiato from Cafe Al Baccio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The information they provide online is a little inconsistent. the info on line vs the ship is very inconsistent With supply and production issues still affecting not only cruises but everywhere, the info is just a guide.

Yes that's true, if I relied on the list on cruise planner I would see that premium coffees are included in the premium package but not in classic. So I might have upgraded for $350 CAD based on misleading information, and it could have been a total waste of $ because I already had everything I needed with the classic. For me, the specialty coffee thing would be a deciding factor on whether or not to upgrade. Some cruise lines like NCL don't include specialty coffees in the basic drink package so I'm sure alot of people look for this as well. I just don't get why they took the time to list the non-alcoholic inclusions in the premium list and completely left them out from the classic list.

There are two alcoholic coffees, the Cafe Kingston and the Cafe Ole that are included in the Classic Package price point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKinRock Posted April 29, 2023 #10 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I have not been on Celebrity - exploring ships now. I don't see Jameson or any Irish Whiskey on either list - how is that possible? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm Jameson is in the Retreat Lounge on Millennium today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
