Hi - we are totally new to cruising and are confused about drinks on board. We don't drink a lot ( yes really) so don't want to buy a drinks package .... are they compulsory? No they are not…you can just purchase beverages as you wish...and both occupants do not need to purchase a package if you decide you might want one/or that it is feasible .Also does anyone know if the Infinity has a swimming pool? 2 pool areas, and 1 is an enclosed Thalassotherapy Pool that is warm and quite wonderful We are going to the Norwegian fiords .... will it be warm enough anyway? Norway is still on my bucket-list, so can't answer that !!…but certainly the T-Pool will be useable.Many questions help please

 

Enjoy

You are not required to buy a beverage package. If you like soda, you may want to consider the non-alcoholic beverage package. But that is not required either. Cannot help with your other questions-ENJOY!

For more answers look on the Celebrity board.

As others have mentioned, there is NO need to purchase a drink package. That being said, the drink package is one of the offers currently available at Celebrity. There are usually a shipboard credit or gratuities as other choices.

 

I am not a big drinker either but it doesn't take long to build a larger than expected bar bill. Go to the Celebrity website and search for "drink calculator". There are a couple to be found and it can show you the value/cost of your drinks.

 

Don't forget that included in the drink package is freshly squeezed OJ as well as specialty coffees and water. Even if you aren't a big alcohol drinker these benefits might be worth it.

Drinks included in your fare will be ice water, coffee, tea (iced or hot) some sort of lemonade or flavored water/punch, milk and juice at breakfast. You can buy soda or alcoholic drinks "by the drink", if you don't have a package. If the included,are good for you, then don't even consider the package. You generally need to drink at least 6-7 drinks per day to make the package pay for itself.

Weather is always iffy. I spent time in Norway one year and it was warm enough for swimming in May. July in Finland still had ice on the lakes.
