Follow up question as the WiFi and Classic drinks have now appeared on my ‘order history’

I thought/was under the impression that all inclusive meant for everyone on the reservation. 
 

but only my name appears under both and for the WiFi says 1 Device? 

Does anyone know how long after you book the All inclusive it appears? On my app it looks like I don’t have a drinks package yet as all the packages are available to select to purchase but not ‘upgrades’ to premium from classic?

The Sunset Verandas across the aft of the ship and the Port Hole Veranda cabins do have actual balconies. Of course the suites also do. 

oh thank you that’s very useful we were thinking of booking one of the infinites. We’ve only ever been interior before. Looking forward to this one 🙂

I hope you are aware that a veranda guarantee can get you an "infinite veranda" which is NOT a veranda at all, but a cabin with a sun room. Not something you can walk outside on. If that is not OK with you, i suggest you take an assigned veranda in whatever class you wish. Generally, higher deck cabins are more expensive than lower deck cabins. 

Yeah I notice this. Is there anything that has the open style on the beyond shop?

I just booked a 4 night cruise. At the time of booking it was only $50 a day per person for the classic drink package and wifi so I booked the included rate. I have paid more for just the drink package on Royal Caribbean even during their Black Friday discounts. When my booking on Celebrity was complete I checked out the the drink and wifi packages prices. The drink package is 75.99 pp per night with a 15% discount and basic wifi is $21.99 for one device per night. The best thing to do is to calculate the daily drink and wifi package per day and if it  what you are comfortable paying book it with the package. I know mine will never be cheaper than what I paid when I booked.

Thank you for this information. I appreciate that. 
 

do you know do all the packages include the CocaCola Range as it doesn’t say on any info. Specifically the classic?

It can vary, the highest I have seen it is around $20 PPPD plus 20% gratuity.

Thank you!!

From the FAQ:

What is the Zero Proof Package (previously the Premium Non-Alcoholic Package)?

Refresh with premium bottled water from Evian, Perrier, San Pellegrino, & Panna, Specialty Coffees & Organic Teas, Red Bull Energy Drink, Frozen Smoothies, Zero Proof Cocktails, Coca-Cola selections, offerings from Vitamin Water, and Bottled Iced Teas. 

yea I read this. But it still does not answer about classic package and the difference between Sodas and Premium Sodas

Coca Cola is the brand and yes, soft drinks are included on every package. Here is a link to the page with the details on the drinks packages: Celebrity Drinks Packages

the link to the document is not helpful I’m afraid. It doesn’t mention Coca Cola. On top of that it confuses things further as what is the difference between Sodas and Premium Sodas?

So, it is sort of - to me - itinerary specific.  UNPLUGGED is best in my eyes, and it is actually one of the more depressing changes over the past decade seeing folks increasingly "silo-ed" in their own worlds on a lovely ship on a wonderful trip through a beautiful world. 😞 Escaping from an escape is the new norm, I guess.

I prefer the unplugged option also, so the WIFI isnt important.  We are in the UK, but we have free Data, Minutes etc in the USA - we are looking at a Carribean cruise.

Can I also just confirm that Sodas are available on every package and that it is indeed Coca Cola as the brand?

Which ship?  This matters in terms of veranda guarantee. Frequently check drinks package rates for "flash sales". 

Apologies, its Celebrity Beyond we are going on.  I am not worried about wifi, so is it better to hold out for a flash deal regarding drinks?

Hello,

We have been on one cruise only before, with Royal, we loved it, and now we will try Celebrity.

Before boarding, will celebrity offer discounts on the drinks packages the way Royal did (up to 40% at times) - we didn't take advantage of it, so ended up with 25% discount once on board (buy one get one 50% off).  I wondered if it was the same with celebrity.

We like the cocktails so I think premium would be better than classic?  My daughter (17) will be going with us, so I take it we only need to get her the Zero? 

Is the WIFI worth it?  I actually liked being disconnected and it was nice to not see my daughter and wife on their phones all the time, so I might forgo the all included and only go for drinks.

I don't know whether to go got veranda guarantee (worried about only getting the porthole version, or deck 9 - as I read that deck 9 suffers a little from the overhang - Advice appreciated)

Anything else we should know from those who have been Royal and Celebrity? :)

Thanks all in advance
