Classic drink package?

[jerseymariner]

We are booked on the Reflection in a couple of weeks and have the Classic drink package. Just noticed online menus showing that the "drink of the day" is always priced at $8.25! So is that intentionally set up to devalue the Classic package and almost force you to upgrade?

We have never felt the need to try the drink of the day so I hadn't noticed that it was over the Classic limit. I haven't read of folks upgrading the package to get the drink of the day. The most common reasons people upgrade is for the wider selection of wines and other because they enjoy the oversized martini's at the Martini Bar.

 

The Classic package covers a wide variety of liquors and most cocktails can be made with the liquor from the Classic package. You can find a list of all the liquors covered by the Classic package on Celebrity's website.

Hmmm...that is something new because we have always been able to get the drink of the day on the classic package. I wonder if they did change this to get more people to upgrade to premium? That would suck!

The maximum price for wines (as an example) was $9.00 to qualify on the Classic Beverage package on a Celebrity cruise last summer. Did this change?

What is the allure of the drink of the day. There are 100's of drinks that are on the classic package. Make up a list of drinks you wanted to try...mai tai's, scorpions, etc and just have your own drink of the day.

We were on the Reflection earlier this month. Classic package covers drinks up to $9, so drink of the day was covered.

The only thing you are missing with the Classic package is top shelf brands, and if that's not important to you, you'll be fine

1. Not all that interested in the drink of the day per say, but the menu lists some common mixed drinks as such so what is different about DotD?

2. According to the Celebrity literature, WINE up to $9 a serving is covered. Spirits have an $8 limit , and beer $6.

Appreciate all the replies and we'll just see how are first day works and upgrade if we feel the need.

There is another thread in which the OP created a list of drinks that are available on the classic and premium beverage packages. The link to her post and the PDF files she created are here:

Celebrity website often has outdated information. The Classic package limit is $9 for beer, wine & liquor so a $8.25 drink of the day is covered.
