jelayne Posted April 7, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 7, 2022 That is not correct you will have access to the Retreat & Luminae, bar set up unlimited specialty dining & laundry. What you won’t get is the OBC for a Suite, the captains Club points for a RS and you will keep any beverage package and internet with your current booking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, Here is a copy of the The Retreat page of the X website: *Guests who book The Retreat® on or after November 17, 2020 will receive the Indulge Package at no additional charge. Excludes guests who book The Retreat with special fares or a MoveUp upgrade from a non-suite stateroom. So this tells me that if you didn't have a drinks package before you upgraded, you won't get one as part of the upgrade and so you will have to buy one in addition.

bigbenboys Posted April 7, 2022 #9 Share Posted April 7, 2022 In my situation I booked a Sky Suite and did 2 move up bids. One for a RS and the other for a PH. I already have the 4 perks from booking the Sky Suite. If I was booked in Aqua my perks would be different than what is standard for suite class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had you previous upgraded yourself to the Indulge package or did you just have the AI package with your Aqua Class booking? Did you have the Premium Drink package, Straming internet, and OBC as part of your Aqua Class booking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a classic drinks package, but when we were upgraded we were given the premium package and streaming wifi, along with bar set up, re stocked mini bar, complimentary speciality dining and free laundry. Basically we got all the suite perks, about a 2 weeks before the shoreside concierge contacted us to enquirie our bar set up preferences.

This is the correct way to look at it and the MoveUp bidding website can be misleading a bit when you are going from a non-suite or any guarantee level booking to an upper level suite RS. The upper suites have room “amenities” and the booking has “perks”. You get the room “amenities” regardless of how you worked your way up to the room, but the “perks” come from your original booking. The website makes it sound like when your bid is accepted for an RS or up that you get premium bvg, and that’s not necessarily the case. The big unknown is what the Retreat bartender will pour you - some are going to be more particular about checking your pkg than others. We confirmed all this with Celebrity because in January we were considering an upgrade bid from a regular verandah to a suite, vs using Elite discounts to upgrade wi-fi and bvg pkg. It rapidly became a game of what is it worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that during the hours the lounge was serving alcoholic beverages, suite guests would be served drinks without regard to what drink package they had. On our last cruise, I certainly never saw any bartenders or wait staff checking cards or anything of the sort.

talljules1 Posted April 7, 2022 #18 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Worth remembering, perhaps, that in the retreat you don't need a drinks package to get a drink. (You will if you want a drink elsewhere on the ship and don't want to pay for it) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have known them to have you sign for the overage if you order something special, over the limit, but whether that was over the premium limit only, I don’t know. For anything that is stocked in the Retreat Lounge, I think you are correct, but for special liquors or wines over the limit, I’m not so sure.
