Willieb285 Posted April 26, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Just heard that if you have the Celebrity Classic beverage package, an order for a premium vodka will result in having to pay the difference between the Classic charge $9 and the $13 premium charge, and not the full $13 charge. If so, it may not pay to upgrade to the Premium package. Can anyone confirm this info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willman Posted April 26, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Not confirmed. You will pay the difference between the $9 classic limit and the actual cost of the drink, not the "$13 charge". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Raider Posted April 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2017 An official from Celebrity responded on another thread about this and did confirm that this will be rolled out fleetwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted April 27, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Yes, Classic Package now will just be charged the difference in drinks over their price point. Sailed on Eclipse on April 2 and it had just been rolled out. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NantahalaCruiser Posted April 27, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Just heard that if you have the Celebrity Classic beverage package, an order for a premium vodka will result in having to pay the difference between the Classic charge $9 and the $13 premium charge, and not the full $13 charge. If so, it may not pay to upgrade to the Premium package. Can anyone confirm this info. As Willman noted, with the Classic the surcharge for ordering a drink over $9 is unrelated to the premium package - a $10 drink will have a surcharge of $1.18 while a $15 drink will have a surcharge of $7.08. Having said that, if you are planning on only drinking drinks that are priced at or above $13, then the $11.80 per day upgrade to the Premium package is cost effective with 4 or more such drinks per day. (Actually, on average the breakeven is 3 1/3 per day.) Edited April 27, 2017 by NantahalaCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably upgrade to premium on that one, With the new policy of only having to pay the difference in drink costs, I'm not sure paying the $11.80/ day charge is worth it - especially if the preferred liquor is only a couple of dollars more.

Silhouette2017 Posted May 1, 2017 #9 Share Posted May 1, 2017 For us premium is the way to go as you do not have to think about money at all when ordering most drinks. The addition of the Martini and World class bar + speciality cocktail at other bars make the premium package worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
