We were on the same cruise and had a wonderful time too.
St Petersburg was definitely the highlight for us. We chose to do the Deluxe Two Day group tour with SPB (US$255pp) which was 16 of us in a mini bus. Very knowledgeable guide, and a great bunch of fellow CC travellers. The guide even pointed out a team of pickpockets working the crowds at Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood :) The Hermitage is stunning, each room just gets better and better, and you run out of superlatives quickly.
Here's a few of the images I shot in St Petersburg.

Beverage package sale but upgrade cost has increased
in Celebrity Cruises
Posted
I upgraded to the premium package online using 'Cruise Planner' this morning for an upcoming 10 day cruise in September.
The cost per person was CAD$160.80 (including gratuity), which is equivalent to USD$120 or UKP100. I thought CAD$16 per day to drink some fine single malts and wines was a good deal.
Interestingly the upgrade option only appeared in 'Cruise Planner' after I had called Celebrity the previous day to get details on the 'sale'.
Fred.
