Anyone know if Elite Cocktail hour can include unopened red bulls?

[NutsAboutGolf]

Would be great to know.  Unfortunately the menu just states non-alcohol beverages are included but don't state if there are any restrictions or not

[helen haywood]

No, Red Bull is not on the Elite cocktail list.

[cruisestitch]

It’s a specific list.  Red Bull is not on it.

Unopened as in cans to take away for later use?

I have done that with soda although only in situations where the drink tickets were handed out for Happy Hour.

[Vectorboy]

Not a chance.

Red Bull is not one of the drinks on the Elite Happy Hour list

[NutsAboutGolf]

I just says juices, soda and bottled bottled water.  Discovered they do list red bull by name in the premium drink packages (both with alcohol and without alcohol).

[WestLakeGirl]

It is in the premium drink package but that’s not the same as the elite happy hour menu. That menu has some very specific beverages on it.  Red Bull isnt included on that menu.

While they don’t have the Elite Cocktail hour any longer, Red Bull is on the Premium Drink Package under Zero Proof

They did not get rid of it however the relevant if you don’t have a drink package. They did not get rid of it however the relevant if you don’t have a drink package. Now that they are once again selling “ no perks” rates there will be more and more we will need to take advantage of it.

Got it.  When they "paused" the sail only rate, it was for new bookings only and many are still currently sailing without AI.  Those who are include lift and shifts, lower tier casino players, shore side employees and reportedly you could book a no-perk rate if using a 3rd party travel site OUTSIDE of the US (Air Canada's vacations page reportedly offered a no-perk rate)

During the CC HH did servers walk around with trays of pre dinner snacks like in the past?

Do you think that red bull is a soda, juice or bottled water? I think of RB as a Energy Drink. Energy Drink is not listed, but you can always ask.

[jelayne]

The Elite drink menu is made up of select beverages from the Classic package since Red Bull isn’t on the Classic package it isn’t available.

I wasn't sure what it would be classified as but the answer is "red bull" which now is premium, it used to be classic.

Once upon a time, there was an event called the Captains Club happy hour, usually held in the sky lounge. Servers passed hors d’oeuvres. This event morphed into a program whereby during a two hour window Elite and above could order drinks from the original Elite event menu at various bars around the ship.  For those who do not have a drink package, this happy hour is still a useful thing and it has not been discontinued. Anyone with a drinks package may not be aware that it’s still being offered, but it is.

When Celebrity had the Go Big, Go Better, Go Best booking options we would always select the CBP as one of our add on and still go to the evening CC HH in the Sky Lounge. Glad to hear the CC HH in the SL hasn't been discontinued. AI or not we will attend.

We were told last summer by the Captain’s Club host that there are some Premium drinks on the Elite Happy Hour menu. These had been added because Elite perks have been lessened because of AI.

You can always bring a supply on board and replenish in the ports.

 

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

What does RB being on the premium drink package have to do with captains club happy hour. RB classifies itself as a Energy Drink.

It is listed as a zero proof drink on both the Premium Non-Alcoholic and Premium Packages.

I guess it would have to do with the drinks on the the CC Happy Hour are a small list of NON-Premium drinks.   Supposition is that if it is on a Premium Package it would not be included

From the menu "Only beverages on this menu are complimentary" Red Bull or Energy Drink are not listed.
