kasowell2 Posted December 29, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Shoot me if this has been answered or at least point me to where it is. Since Celebrity instituted the drink packages and the other cruise lines have followed, has anyone done a comparison of the different packages from say Carnival, RCCL, and Celebrity? I was mainly looking at what each one covered, maximum amount of drinks.... I really like Celebrity's and think its a good deal. Anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi,:) so you want to know if someone has posted a thread with all 3 companies and what they offer? Nope. I would suggest looking on those forums and you could probably find out more about their packages that way. I don't believe (just my opinion) there is a reason to post Carnival's package or Royal's package on here...since it is the Celebrity forum;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimletgal Posted December 29, 2013 #5 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Celebrity's drink packages are far and away the best in the industry - IF you imbibe! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miched Posted December 29, 2013 #6 Share Posted December 29, 2013 X is by far the best. Carnival is limited to only alcohol drinks and they have also put a 12 drink limit per day. It doesn't include coffee, water, soft drinks and etc. 🎉🍸🎩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasowell2 Posted December 29, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I'm currently doing a spreadsheet with the info if someone is interested they can message me and I will send it to them. I agree that Celebrity has the best mainly because of the higher drink limit, the bottled water, and the premium coffees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted December 29, 2013 #8 Share Posted December 29, 2013 The article is no longer up to date. RCI recently changed their program to match that very closely to Celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is very good news, I think I use my package more for Cafe Al Bacio than for alcohol! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted December 29, 2013 #10 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Actually the Oceania package has more premium alcohols on it than X and is about the same price. Much better options in single malts & cognacs & specialty vodkas. You already get all the sodas, coffees, juices, waters, etc. in the basic fare.

HeatherC430 Posted December 30, 2013 #12 Share Posted December 30, 2013 X is by far the best. Carnival is limited to only alcohol drinks and they have also put a 12 drink limit per day. It doesn't include coffee, water, soft drinks and etc. Carnival's drink max is 15 drinks per day. While it doesn't include premium coffee or water, it does include soft drinks. I purchased the Carnival drink package on one of my prior cruises. Based on what I experienced on that cruise, and what I've researched for my upcoming Celebrity cruise, X does seem to have the better offering. Also, on Carnival, you have to sign every receipt whereas on X you do not need to sign (based on what I've read). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasowell2 Posted December 30, 2013 Author #14 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I agree that Celebrity has the best package since it includes water and coffee and no maximum per day. I was a die hard Celebrity person but since they've changed the Captains Club I may sail another line due to the lack of Caribbean cruises celebrity has in the summer that we can drive to. I really wish they left a Solstice class ship in Florida year round but I don't blame them for taking them where the money is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
