After reading MANY of these posts I are getting the premium alcohol package for my cruise in 30 days aboard the Silhouette.

 

I am looking forward to trying a variety of coctails and specialty coffees.

I think I read the frozen margaritia's are good. What are some other favorite drinks?

 

Also, Martini's are too strong for me; can they be made with extra mixer?

(especially the chocolate one people seem to like)

So, can you get a smaller martini for $8 on the Classic package?

Hi all,

 

We have just returned from a 7 night cruise on Celebrity Century. Prior to setting out we deliberated long and hard as to whether to take a drinks package. In the end we decided to opt for the Classic package and I am so glad we did. The Classic package more than covered our needs including freshly squeezed orange juice from the sunset bar in the morning, excellent smoothies frorm the Aqua Cafe and high quality teas (silk tea bags) and coffees from the Cova Cafe. There was no problem either in using the package in both the main dining room and Murano's and no problems with service from any of the bar attendants or bar waiters. The Classic package more than covered our requirements which ranged from Mojitos, cocktails, Heineken beer, Prosecco, and Celebrity Champagne. We were even allowed to order Martinis in the ice bar and pay a small $2.30 supplement per drink. For both of us the package cost £432 including service charge and we have calculated that at a conservative estimate our bar bill would have been double. Please bear in mind though that we are both in our thirties, male and enjoy a drink, but not in excess.

 

I would recommend the Classic package to future cruisers.

Did you mean to say Classic package ? I thought the smoothies and cocktails were only in the Premium package?
