TMLAalum Posted June 17, 2023 #26 Share Posted June 17, 2023 On evening on our Silhouette cruise that ended 3/9, DH and I (Elite) walked into the Sky Lounge to partake of our 5-7 nightly beverages. There was a hostess at the door and we showed our seapass cards. Unbeknownst to us, it was an event for ?? where waitstaff came around offering select cocktails one at a time after the host announced what each was. It was delightful and I was happy we happened upon it! What was it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been listed on your elite events invitation that you would have received in your state room on arrival. It was something you were supposed to RSVP to, but of course they would let you in as long as you showed your card. They don’t do it on every cruise on every ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we arrived, there were 4 glasses of wine on each place setting but the class was a drawing class. No music and no mixology. There ended up being very few of us in the class and there was plenty of wine for seconds, thirds, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plans are to eventually go fleetwide. I actually went twice on Solstice in January. They said on the first cruise that is the first time it was done . They ironed out a few kinks for the 2nd leg of our B2B. There were no recipes as they were just figuring it out. On the 2nd cruise they had printed individual cards for each drink. I see they are now printing all 4 on one card. I guess E class was not first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrity does or use to have a mixology class. Cost was about $35.00 pp. Open to all. Edited June 18, 2023 by davekathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted June 18, 2023 #36 Share Posted June 18, 2023 The “music and mixology” is not a class. It’s entertainment. Some of the flare bartenders come and show off their abilities, and they mix samples of four cocktails, then hand out tastes and the recipes. There is no fee. Open to Captains Club Elite and above.

Do check prices first to avoid sticker shock 🙂 Hello, Which is only fine if you are a spirits drinker. Regards, Cublet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broadwaybaby123 Posted June 18, 2023 #43 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I can't say for sure as I'm not Elite yet but I will be after my next cruise. I've heard that there is no more Elite lounge, however the drinks can be redeemed at some bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestLakeGirl Posted June 18, 2023 #45 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) If you are coming to Celebrity from Royal, you may be familiar with a place called the diamond lounge. Celebrity does not have such a dedicated space. Instead, elite members can order drinks from the elite menu at most bars throughout the ship, from five to seven. This has replaced a system where the sky lounge (and before that Michael’s Club) was reserved for the exclusive use of Elite members between five and seven. Now you can go to nearly any bar and order from the following menu or one similar to it. If you have a beverage package, this may be of no interest to you but if you don’t have a package, enjoy these.

Our March Apex CC host told us it would be going fleetwide. Sounds like she was correct. Glad it is as we really enjoyed the M&M event.

You may find some flexibility with some staff on some sailings but if they are sticking to the rules they have to say 'no' as they are not a generic cocktail bar.

On the Solstice, the male bartender was making custom preferred drinks for cruisers who were happy to benefit from bartender’s expertise, et al…we always added small tip. Best bar on ship.
