Ozziecruiser Posted October 17, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Regarding the new changes with the Captains Club. I understand that Elite happy hour is unlimited drinks from the happy hour menu between 5pm-7pm at any bar. With the new changes, are they now including happy hour on embarkation day as well?

LEESRE Posted October 17, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 17, 2021 On the AI plan I see the cocktails and drinks the limit is 9 Dollars. Say you purchase a cocktail for 12 dollars do you pay the 2 dollar up charge? or the full 12 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will pay $3.60 -- the $3 difference plus a 20% service charge [often mistakenly referred to as a "gratuity"]. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovesthebeach2 Posted January 26, 2022 #12 Share Posted January 26, 2022 We’re D+ on Royal and just booked our first cruise on Celebrity which matches our status as Elite I think? The cruise includes the Classic AI pkg, but as Elite will we get Happy Hour drinks that would allow more than say the $9.00 for a glass of wine? I have no clue how this will work. Thanks.

I have not been on a Celebrity cruise since 2019 so there might be some changes. In the past I am sure there was no wine on the Captain's Club Happy Hour menu that would have cost more than $9.00. I don't believe the Happy Hour drink menu listed prices, just the beverage available. In my opinion the Happy Hour wine is not very good, yes free, but not good. If we had the classic drink package I would always ask for the chardonnay off that menu rather than the Happy Hour menu. There was some difference. I would often pay the up charge for a glass from the Premium menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re so much happier now that we have the drinks loaded on our card each day because we can get much better wine now as well as mixed drinks that were never offered in the lounge. it doesn’t look like Celebrity has made that same change. I would rather have up to 5 better quality, better variety drinks allowed, than unlimited so-so drinks. Not that I drink 5 drinks, but they’re better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HH elite drinks are from a set menu and it is available in most of the main bars. It used to include some drinks/wines that were not included in the Classic drink package. As mentioned it may have changed. It is worth checking out when you get in board. I always have the Premium drink package, so I do not recall the specific drinks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you will be elite. You will get unlimited CC HH drinks loaded on your Seapass card (like pre covid cruises) from 5 to 7:PM. Currently no CC HH event held. IMO, CC HH drinks are the same quality as the C&A drinks served in the DL. IMO, since you have AI (CBP) the CC HH drinks are nice to have but no biggie. Bigger variety of wines and other drinks with the CBP than the CC HH menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, the all day allotted C&A drinks loaded on our Seapass cards is nice and no longer stuck with the limited DL beverage menu. I'd like to see Celebrity bring back the CC evening HH in the Sky Lounge like RC has done with the C&A HH (3.5 hrs.) in the DL in the evening. Drinks ordered during the C&A HH go against your allotted drinks loaded on our Seapass cards and still have the snacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No drinks loaded on your Seapass unless your reservation dates to 2019 or you booked a Sail only fare that is occasionally offered 90 days before sail dates.

sfcsu Posted January 27, 2022 #22 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I'll miss the HH in the Sky lounge if they don't start it for our cruise next month. We usually travel with two other couples and it was our meeting spot before dinner for a cocktail and snack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a good reason the evening CC HH still could be held in the Sky Lounge like the evening C&A HH in the DL.

marvelous35 Posted May 15, 2022 #24 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Hi Everyone, We will be diamond level on Royal Caribbean when we sail on Celebrity next year. We have a sail only fare. My question is: are sodas served in the can or fountain? I like to drink 1 soda a day after lunch. So if I can get a can and keep it until the next day, that would be perfect for me. As you can see, I am a light drinker and would not benefit from a drink package or always included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestLakeGirl Posted May 15, 2022 #25 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Not on the embarkation night, but the nights thereafter You will be able to get an unopened can of soda between 5 and 7 pm and save it for the next day Edited May 15, 2022 by WestLakeGirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
