Discount to upgrade from classic to premium beverage package

[debant]

I know there have been other posts about this but can’t find it now. Someone mentioned they got a 20% discount when they upgraded but didn’t say how they were able to get this. Does anyone know  to get more than the 5 or 10% they give for the Captains Club status?

I think it's Elite & above. You have to do it before boarding, that I know.

You need to call to get the upgrade. I did it last night.Got 5% off. Not much but better than nothing.

A few days ago I received an email from Celebrity regarding upgrading to premium beverage package. I called the number in the email (see below) and the lady I spoke to upgraded us to the premium package and used some of our Celebrity provided OBC to pay for the upgrade.

We booked a 15-night TA cruise in October while a 20% fare discount was in effect. Afterwards, I called to upgrade to the premium drink package, assuming it would cost $900 for 2. I was surprised to see it only cost $720 - the 20% discount during October had kicked in. We got $400 OBC with the upgrade, which we're spending on excursions.So going to premium cost us, in effect $11 per day pp. Pretty good deal.

Yes that is the phone number I called. I had enough shipboard credit to cover the entire cost for my husband and I. $228 with the 5% discount.

did you get the discount?

Why would the upgrade have ever cost $900?  The upgrade is $12 pp pd and if you have a Captains Club 5% discount it is about $11.40.  So no discount tge cost for 2 people for 15 nights is $360.

We are new to X and opted for the $30 pp pd upgrade offered on the website. 15 nights x 2 x 30 +900. $400 OBC included . I didn't know you could upgrade for $12 pp pd - that was not offered. So it's basically a wash.

The upgrade from the classic package (the Always Included one) to the premium package should be $10 plus 20% gratuity, or $12 per person per day.  

 

You may have selected a different upgrade option which you can undo prior to the cruise.

We bought the Elevate upgrade. Bottom line, for $720 we got $400 obc and premium for $10.67 pp pd so we're happy with the deal. Thanks.
