Linda W. Posted May 11, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2023 So how much would it cost? I'm a little confused here. We have the classic drink package but want the premium beverage package. Is it $20.00/day plus 20% gratuity MINUS 10%. Or is it $20.00 plus 20% per day=$24.00? On the website they have a "special" upgrade your drink package $18.99/day plus 20% gratuity and it says it's a 5% discount. I haven't pursued that yet though.

long time lurker Posted May 11, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) From my experience it would be 18.99 less 5% then 20% gratuity. (18.99 x .95 = 18.04 x 1.2 = 21.65/day). Conversely, without your discount it would be 18.99 x 1.2 = 22.79/day. So your Captains club status gives you a savings of $1.14/day. Hope this helps. You do need to call pre-cruise to take advantage of the discount. Edited May 11, 2023 by long time lurker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, I just called yesterday to inquire about the upgrade price with my select discount. I too am sailing on a 10 day in October. The Celebrity Rep quoted me $424.40 for both my self and my husband, so $212.20 additional per person. I told him I had to ponder this...I remember the days when my onboard credit completely covered this and then some. I'm thinking I may not upgrade as our cruise is very port intensive with an overnight in Alexandria. I may just pay for the upcharge per drink. It may come out significantly cheaper! Hope this helps!

It may well be cheaper, depending upon what you drink. The Classic has a $10 limit so if you like a wine (s) that are $11-12 a glass you are ahead unless you drink a lot of wine. The Martini Bar martinis are another matter. They are now $15 and the the difference with tip is $6. One or 2 of those and some wine over $10 and the savings disappears fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunsetme Posted May 11, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 11, 2023 How much would it be for an 8 day cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted May 11, 2023 #6 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Upgrade price is $20 per person per day plus 20% gratuity, $24 x 8 = $192. Any discount offered in the Cruise Planner or any Captains Club discount would reduce that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
