Celebrity Drink Package Question

Are you referring to the Captain Club free drink hours.   If so here is the menu -  In the bottom section it says Only Beverages on this menu are complimentary.    If you order anything not on the menu it will be charged to your sea pass.

 

Sorry, we haven't cruised on Celebrity since "All Included" became part of your fare.  We are Elite on X by virtue of our RCCL status.  With drinks included, what do the Captains Club beverages provide that we don't already have?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post but does anyone have copies of all the drinks menus from celebrity silhouette? we are booked to go in September 10th. Happy to be pointed in direction if they are posted elsewhere, thanks all. 

These were the Captain’s Club drinks on sailings on Silhouette out of UK, in summer 2022.

Nothing and less choices to be honest.    The only time it might be of a benefit is if a person has a older booking with no perks.

Thanks. That was my sense.  I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

One thing you may enjoy is the Elite Breakfast.     It's more of a continental breakfast  between 8 and 10.   There will be a list of CC amenities in your room. 

 

We often go if we get up late as MDR,  Blu and Luminae are only open 7:30 - 9:00

Yes.  Per person, per day.

Do they have specialty coffee in the morning like Royal's Diamond Lounge?

You will want to make Cafe Al Bacio your destination for those early morning pick-me-ups.  Yes, they have quite an array of coffee and tea options on their menu, and it's all good.

12.00per day

Hi- i have found the "menu"s on the app but they aren't very good/representative of the physical menus that were on the ship when we sailed last year. Is there not actual copies of the menus saved anywhere that people know about?

Not exactly on topic, but ...

I requested and obtained a pdf of the 14 day MDR menu rotation while aboard Connie in November.  I'll email myself a link to this thread and try to remember to post it here when I get home later this evening.  It 's on the thumb drive I took on the cruise.   I've already posted it here on CC somewhere during December 2021, but have no recollection of where it was.

I upgraded for my 10 day cruise and it was only $120 more for 1.

Drink package comparison list from the Celebrity site.  Don't know if the actual "what will be available on your cruise" will be affected by supply chain issues and/or reduced passenger numbers or not, but this should give you a pretty good idea.

Has there been a lack of attention lately since "Everything Included" became pretty much the standard?

 

I had two casino bookings that didn't include beverage packages and I usually book Premium Non-Alc  (PMNA) which serves me well. The few alcoholic drinks I do enjoy I just charge to the room.

 

Last two sailings on EDGE, none of the drinks ended up on my bill. Often times the staff doesn't care to swipe the card at all and even when they did swipe my card no charge showed up on the final folio including for New Years Eve.

Sure but I found it extremely odd. Almost like as if they stopped caring to run drinks individually and just tracked the inventory botte by bottle. If you can't charge individual pax because of all inclusive then there's no point to go through the tedious process of scanning unless someone orders top shelf stuff or expensive wine / champagne.

On Apex and Summit, many times the bartenders just asked for the cabin number and keyed it in manually rather than swiping the card.

Certainty last year on Silhouette Staycation last August, as it prevented multiple people touching the card.

 

 

This is the Elite and above drinks menu, which is served from 5-7 pm.

Yeah but at least that way they still charge it. This time they didn't do anything. And we had quite a bit to drink on NYE.

You can usually get a free glass if you want to sit thru a art auction, or sometimes during a store promo.  

You can also get a free glass or two or even three at the pricey jewelry stores onboard.  You can then try on as many pieces to your hearts content and be told this was made for you. They will even let you wear and show off your gorgeous piece at dinner. Then they will try to sell you  that beautiful piece for a price tag of $12, 000 and up. Not enough room on one credit card? No worries we can split on two cards or any combination of credit or debit. I've witnessed this happening many times.  Beware!!!

Were you able to get anything OVER the cap that wasn't charged?

There are also Captain’s Club discounts if you upgrade pre-cruise.  The discount isn't available if you upgrade onboard.  You have to call to have the discount applied. If you aren't eligible for a discount then you can upgrade online in the cruise planner or do it onboard if you prefer.  

 

🍹

do you know what the discount is if you are elite?

Can you buy the upgraded drink package onboard and get the elite discount, or only pre boarding by calling Celebrity or Captains Club?
