Xcelsior Posted August 14, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Have not sailed celebrity since they allowed CC elite cocktail drinks at bars around the ship instead of the hosted event in the lounge. Do they still have the hosted event in the lounge? AND are guests travelling with an elite member who are not elite still allowed to have complimentary drinks?

Rare DCPIV Posted August 14, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2022 They do not currently have the hosted event. I don't know about the guest question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted August 14, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 14, 2022 No and no. No hosted event. The Elite perks are only for Elite members 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gold1953 Posted August 14, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 14, 2022 You can only bring an elite member to and event if they share your cabin. Now that the cocktail hour is not a private event your non elite room mate will not get free drinks as they are now loaded on to your card 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2chiefs Posted August 14, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Anyone know if they will bring back the Elite event? We liked attending them even when we had drink packages. We enjoyed socializing with like-minded folks (IE: People who love to cruise a lot!!) Cheers 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted August 14, 2022 #6 Share Posted August 14, 2022 We were told by CC Concierge in April that they were gone for good. Everything I've seen supports that info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Fly and Sail Posted August 15, 2022 #11 Share Posted August 15, 2022 We definitely had a hosted event at the SkyLounge on Solstice (May 3 departure). Not sure if that was because of the first voyage they took post covid or if it's back in general. This was only one day though AFAIK, the remainder of the sailing the happy hour was at the various bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helenb Posted August 15, 2022 #14 Share Posted August 15, 2022 What are the free drinks offered to Elites? My husband is considering foregoing the beverage package and just bringing a couple of bottles of wine onboard and partaking of free drinks before dinner.

We've found that we drink less with the beverage package than relying on free drinks. We think it's because of the time limit with the free drinks, you tend to get as many as you can during that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazey Posted August 15, 2022 #18 Share Posted August 15, 2022 We find that with the Elite drink availability between 5-7 and casino free drinks we drink less. We do on occasion order a wine with dinner but the cost is well below what we would pay for the drink package. We would always get the premium package in the past and have a drink with lunch and then during the day and into the night. It may be that we are older now and do not find drinking a lot is a positive! This works for us but then again we did indulge quite a bit so we understand. We find we can enjoy ourselves still on the cruise. What works for one is not always what works for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miched Posted August 15, 2022 #19 Share Posted August 15, 2022 No HH on embarkation day, day of Captain Club party, or Officers Party. On a 7 day cruise you have HH on 4 nights. Could be wrong but that is what I have noticed and experienced. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🌅🇺🇸 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's not a big drinker two bottles of wine along with the drinks provided during HH should suffice. If I'm around one of the bars just before dinner I get my wine glass topped up to take to the MDR. On my February Edge sailing bartender was pouring me Decoy which is in the Premium package. There is a pretty good selection of martinis and wines to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
