bogofman Posted November 30, 2015 #26 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Does this mean that this new standard package is being offered under the drinks package offer (FREE) Instead of the classic package, Currently uk bookings don't have tge option, but they usually come back in the new year, I don't think we will be tempted if the offer is only the standard package, We spent a lot of time in cafe a bacio and it seems that is not included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be surprised to see it change to select in the future though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celebrity Cruises Posted December 1, 2015 #30 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Celebrity Cruises has added yet another beverage package option for those who are looking for an even better value. The Standard Package is now our entry-level alcoholic drink package, and is $10/day less than the Classic package. Choose select beers and wines, spirits, cocktails, liquors and frozen drinks up to $6 per serving. Brand availability varies by bar location, but includes a variety of well branded spirits, popular wines and beers, fountain sodas, and bottled water. Plus, with purchase of this Standard Package, guests can enjoy a 10% discount on all wines by the bottle purchased on board, even our prized Reserve Wine list and Rare Wine list. Unlike the Premium and Classic packages which offer specific liquor brands, the Standard Package offers "well brands"; every main liquor type is available within the Standard Package (e.g. vodka, gin, rum, whiskey, etc.) The Standard Package is already available onboard, and is available pre-cruise beginning Tuesday, November 17, 2015.

Thanks for coming on here to explain. I just would like to verify that our 3 future cruises, which were booked under the 1, 2, 3 promotion will still have the Classic package we thought we'd have when we booked AND that we will still be able to upgrade to the premium for $10 ($11.80 with gratuity ) a day/pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also want to confirm that our already booked cruises which have triple perks, all in or 123 go will include the Classic Package as advertised and not the downgraded Standard package. What alcohol package is or will be offered under Big Better Best for new bookings...if one chooses Big or Better ...will it still be the Classic? Some customers enjoy the Classic for the coffees, water etc..and maybe a few drinks too., so hoping it is the one that will be the Perk ! Please clarify!

BTW, you can't purchase the standard package prior to the cruise...it's not on their web site...not even a description, let alone a way to order. Today is Dec 1....the post says you can book it after Nov 17 Wouldn't you think that someone would check before posting ????

Rare uktog Posted December 1, 2015 #37 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The classic and premium $ limits were missing from the post.....don't assume anything. Indeed it could be (another) badly written post by the official poster or it might be a change in package structure And just as they have changed the dining commitments re some dining rooms and the suite offering you cannot assume just because you have booked something that is what you will get, so thank you to those who have sought clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ghstudio Posted December 1, 2015 #41 Share Posted December 1, 2015 That page still has all the drink limits....so one wonders about Celebrity Cruise's words here. Is that another change....or was the post just unclear. It would be helpful to know the answer. As far as a $6 glass of wine on a Celebrity Ship...that's just a scary thought. Perhaps it is an assortment of wines from Florida or India (and yes, they do make wine in both of those geographies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
