The a la cart prices are so expensive that it pays off. I think fresh OJ is $8.75 a glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If both of you can together consume 140 glasses on a 10 night cruise, then its worth it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrity is a great cruise. I would be. Though not many leaving on a Tuesday except short cruises. But we knew by last weekend. I just saw on another social site, someone saying all Galveston parking lots are open free, and which had highest elevation. I lost my car 11 years ago to that hurricane. I sure wouldnt park there again. Never saw my car again. Went on a cruise on conquest and ccl refused to let people canc. Sure wish I had anyway and forgone the cruisefare. Galveston under evacuation orders right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckynana Posted August 25, 2020 #61 Share Posted August 25, 2020 We've always had the the drink package, gratuities, and sometimes OBC perks while sailing with Celebrity. We've never bought the drink package on RCG, but if the price is right, we just might buy it for our July cruise on Oasis next year. We do have triple perks for our October 2021 cruise on the Connie.

M8 Most definitely! That whole program was is so messed up. I have a client that earns close to $50k a month and he decided to take advantage and do mortgage forbearance on his primary and vacation home. That shouldn't be allowed either. If still working and earning no reason to manipulate the system but people do. I have a good friend and her 16 yr son worked part time at a fast food chain. Earned on average $150 week. He had been getting $75 week unemployment plus the extra $600 week. He started to go on a shopping frenzy on phones computers games etc etc. Mom and Dad stopped that and now have money going into a savings acct but still dont think he should have gotten all of that when there are people out that really needed it more than him. Sorry I know I got off topic. I did notice today pricing on excursions wifi dbp etc for my 4 future cruises have gone thru the roof. One excursion that had been selling for $46 is now $170. That's crazy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiredgram Posted August 26, 2020 #65 Share Posted August 26, 2020 The only way we will order drink package is if they have another glitch. We had it on our 12 night cruise in February and enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy my lattes in the morning then add bottled waters and a daiquiri or mojito at the pool then some cocktails in the casino or during a show. Dbp is worth it!! Port days we usually put 2 bottled waters pp in our back packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's absolutely true. In the DL and CL, however, the pours are about double what you pay for in the bars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biomedbob Posted August 27, 2020 #74 Share Posted August 27, 2020 That is so much not true. We sit in the Scooner Lounge and watch the feeloaders going by. The folks there get a downgraded. We are D+ and buy our stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
