From my online cruise planner for a very future cruise, Equinox in November 2025. Shown with the current drink package offers. Let the conjecturing begin!

Current Drink Package FAQ's are here: https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Celebrity/General_Info/CEL_Beverage_Package_FAQs.pdf It clearly allows for paying the drink difference from Classic Package allowance of $10. It's also been updated to clearly show that the Classic includes non-alcoholic drinks like specialty coffees and bottled water. Like others, we may have just been priced out of the Premium upgrade. Curious though, how much is a Tanquery (my favorite gin) and tonic? I hope it's not more than $12 or $13...

Nice, you got last weeks price. $15 package difference*1.18(gratuity)*.9(CC discount)= $15.93 pp/day*7 days*2 people = $223.02. Unfortunately, I've called 3 times this week to get lucky with that pricing. No luck for me.

Have seen a few posts asking for the 'new' Celebrity Drink Package upgrade math. It goes like this. To upgrade from Classic to Premium, it is $20 / per person / day. To that, multiply the gratuity of 18% (20*1.18) to get to $23.60 /pp/day. Most posters here are also Captain's Club members eligible for a 10% drink upgrade discount. So, $23.60*.9= $21.24 / pp / day. So, for a 7 night cruise for two, the upgrade cost will be $21.24*7*2= $297.36.

Hi, another data point. My wife are on the transatlantic Reflection crossing in October. Just got off the phone with Celebrity and was quoted $594.72 to upgrade from existing Classic to Premium, this included the 10% CC discount. Looks like we'll be ordering gin & tonics instead of Tanquery Ten & tonics! Yikes.
