cocosmum Posted October 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Hi everyone, First cruise coming up with Celebrity in April from FLL. We have the Classic drinks package and I wondered what the process is when ordering a drink?? Do we need to wear a lanyard (and is the card pre-punched with a hole?), just carry the card or have they moved to wrist bands yet?? If just using the card, do we sign for every drink or is the card simply scanned?? Also, as it's my husband and I travelling together, can he order both of our drinks together or does he need to take my card with him to the bar? Small details I know but I want to be prepared!! Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted October 23, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Drinks are on the card and you need two cards for two drinks. No signing for drinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alakegirl Posted October 23, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 23, 2023 The cards are not pre-punch but if you go to gastrulation’s, they can punch a hole in them if you wish. They will scan your card for each drink you order and there is nothing to mine unless you go over the price allowance of your beverage package.

jelayne Posted October 23, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 23, 2023 You do not need to wear a lanyard. They either swipe the card or ask for cabin #. The only time you would sign for a drink is if you order something above the package limit, then you sign for the extra $ and 20% gratuity on that amount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy as many drinks as you want on your card. If you have a package, then you need a card for each drink ordered AT THE SAME TIME 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted October 23, 2023 #6 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I carry my phone everywhere so I like the credit card hold on back of the phone I seem to be seeing more of these, not my jam but could prove useful for a woman who is used to carrying her phone in her purse and doesn't want to drag the purse around the ship 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume Spell Check error and you meant Guest Relations. This was what I used to do up until a time I went and they said they no longer punched a hole in them, not sure why the change but perhaps they were finding this causing problems with the cards? I never had any issue with my punched card. So today they may or may not punch a hole in your card if asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted October 23, 2023 #8 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Yes, two drinks at the same time need two cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cocosmum Posted October 23, 2023 Author #11 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Thanks everyone. So if hubby goes to the bar to order his beer and my (hopefully anyway lol) Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc (see transatlantic thread) then he will need to take my card as well as his? IF my drink exceeds the price allowance, is he able to sign for me? Re the punched holes, I seem to remember years ago Carnival stopped doing this at Guest Relations and you could only get it done in the Casino - go figure! Thanks @NutsAboutGolf for the lanyard link - will check that out 😀 Appreciate all your help. Looking forward to trying Celebrity after P&O, Carnival and Norwegian. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but you are overthinking it…they won’t know which drink is for which person so since you both have the package he could just as well be ordering the more expensive drink for himself and signing the appropriate ticket 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted October 24, 2023 #14 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I use a lanyard easy for me. It comes with a plastic case for your seapass card. No need to make a hole in it. We had wrist bands on Royal- they were not reliable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cocosmum Posted November 2, 2023 Author #21 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Happy to pay the upcharge for Villa Maria wine - just hope it's still available. That is a great offer for the Premium drinks package but hubby is happy with the beer available in the classic range and I can still find lots of beverages I enjoy even if they don't have the wine 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahasamatman Posted November 3, 2023 #22 Share Posted November 3, 2023 My card goes in my pocket. If they had a the lanyard, it would go in my pocket as well. And if they offer wristbands, guess what? In the pocket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miched Posted November 5, 2023 #23 Share Posted November 5, 2023 My wife no longer lets me go alone to get drinks. The problem is I order 2 at the bar of the drinks I want because I am usually in a conversation with someone. I finish one and then order one for me and one for my wife, and leave with 2 drinks for me and one for her. One of those for me is a traveler. Drink up 🍹🍾🍸🍷🥂🧉🥃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy and Charill at Passport ( Jessie too) do an outstanding job. After a few days , they know your room number. no worries, the staff on board will take good care of you. They no longer punch holes in the card, so simply take something the card can slide in to . After a few days though, most know your room number so it’s not a big issue. Enjoy your cruise !
