Rare Sleepybluegiraffe Posted November 21, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 21, 2023 It should tell you on there, both the percentage discount 45% and the dollar price. Mine is in pounds sterling as I’m in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full price is usually $20 pppd but heavily discounted just now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted November 24, 2023 #5 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I just upgraded my drink package for my Jan. 2025 Ascent cruise for $6.99pp/pd. The original price was $15.00, then it went to $13.99. For the $1.00 discount, I passed, but just for ha has, I went to the site tonight, and wala, it was $6.99 so I grabbed it, very confident it won't go down any further. If it does by some miracle, I'll just cancel and rebook. It was all done with OBC., 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was $201.00 total (after taxes added) to upgrade two packages on a 12 night cruise. This year I upgraded two packages before our 14 night cruise. It was $561.00. I guess I should have paid better attention to the loads of emails we constantly get. Happy cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted November 24, 2023 #8 Share Posted November 24, 2023 (edited) We get the Classic included… is it worth upgrading to Premium? It’s $6.99pppd to upgrade at the mo. I drink Aperol Spritz, and Pinot Grigio. Perhaps a few frozen margaritas… are they covered by the Classic please? I know you can pay the difference & tips Edited November 24, 2023 by little britain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get the upgrade to premium for £6.80 per person per day which we have, it is well worth it. Much better choices of wine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been checking but pricing hasn’t moved. Cruise length and age of ship makes a difference. This is a 12 nighter. Also, ships from Tampa seem to have better prices on drink packages on Royal and Celebrity. Older crowd it seems after sailing from here the last 20 some years that don't buy drink packages as much. Other ports from Florida seem to charge more. Edited November 24, 2023 by coaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you can pay the difference & tips I'm struggling with the same type of questions. We had the classic included with our initial cruise purchase and now for 184.00 for an 11 day cruise we can upgrade to Premium. We don't really drink much and have a bunch of OBC so I am really wondering if its worth it. The one thing that I am using to convince myself that it is a good deal is that all the drinks are going to be more expensive in 2025 when our booked cruise departs and for the price we pay today it will probably be worth it. The other thing is that cruise lines are being forced to come up with new ways to increase revenue to overcome losses in the past 2 years and bring shareholders back and the trend seems to be everything "a la carte". So by 2025 we could see possible changes like coffees no longer being included in the classic beverage package or instead of paying the difference in the drink prices, if its not included you have to pay full price. If i could see the future and for those reasons I would buy the upgrade today. PS - Aperol Spritz was 1 or 2$ more than the price that the classic package covered back before covid based on other postings i have read. So I am assuming it still trends that way. I have seen some Pinot Grigio on menu's here that are less than 10$ - https://profcruise.com/celebrity-bar-menus-2023/#cellar Edited November 24, 2023 by wilmingtech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you can pay the difference & tips I usually stick with the classic package, but have upgraded 3 upcoming cruises to premium for just over £6 per day. I figured if I have 1 martini or 1 juice from the spa cafe a day, it would cover the cost. I had OBC to spend, so didn’t feel like it was spending my own money, which helped too.

Rare little britain Posted November 24, 2023 #17 Share Posted November 24, 2023 @wilmingtech on the fence too!! Part of me says one Aperol a day at $2.40 upcharge over 12n is only $28.80 ( as I usually drink g&t so not even guaranteed to have a daily spritz!!) Also 12n 2025 cruise so your comments about cutbacks or even cheaper house hooch in the Classic which forces you to buy the better quality stuff!! It’s $201.12 to upgrade but with obc it brings it down to $98. I know DH likes a good martini or a lemon drop on some evenings…. But that would leave us no obc to buy specialty restaurants… #firstworldproblems I know but what should a gal do 🤷♀️!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseheads4ever Posted November 25, 2023 #18 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I don’t see many Black Friday sales at least for my two 5 night cruises for March and April. No $30 and $40 drink packages. We didn't book any drink packages because we were waiting for Black Friday sales. where do I find the discounts or is it per the cruise?

On the website go in to Manage Trip then Manage Reservation. Select your upcoming cruise and then drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
