How many do they get and can they use them all day. No vouchers are issued. You have unlimited drinks from the Captains Club menu of drinks from 5:00-7:00. See above post. Correct not on embarkation day. Edited November 9, 2022 by RICCruisers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DaKahuna Posted November 9, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Celebrity does not use vouchers. Elite receive free selected drinks during Happy Hour. There is a list of what choices are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-Airbalancer Posted November 9, 2022 #8 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Doesnt everyone miss getting drink coupons 🤣 it was a big deal to get coupons , that way we didn’t have to go to the mad house in Sky Lounge for drinks and we could chill at Sunset Bar Celebrity should follow RCL and give Elites 4 drinks a day at anytime ! 😁🥃🍷🍻☕️🫖 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebutlerdidit Posted November 9, 2022 #9 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I took my first RC cruise late last year, and I loved getting the drinks when I chose. I also loved that I could get the drinks I wanted, rather than what the Captain’s Club has posted on a list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you need drink vouchers when everyone gets the classic drink package, unless you specifically book cruise fare only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just makes me wonder why, if drinks during any hour at any bar is important, someone would book cruise fare only. One of the reason I prefer Celebrity is the included drink package, wifi, gratuities, and OBC. Granted, I know I could order all of these individually on Celebrity and Royal but I like the "easy button' way of doing it that Celebrity offers.

You can book a drink package on Royal also, and it is just clink of a button to add gratuities when you book , Wi-Fi is it really worth it , since it so crappy anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdnich Posted November 9, 2022 #14 Share Posted November 9, 2022 We booked a free cruise with blue chip club and will be the first cruise with out the beverage package. We are elite plus now so we are not going to get the bev. package and see how we can take advantage of beverages in Tuscan breakfast and happy hour and just purchase a few through out the day . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for WiFi - After close to 40 cruises, I have found WiFi to be acceptable to me. I always make sure I have a strong signal to the ships access point. However, what is acceptable to me might not be acceptable to someone else. I started with 1200 bps telephone modems. That taught me to be patient.

Why you ask ?? We are non-drinkers, don't require more than the 90 minutes of free wifi ( Elite perk ), and the gratuities are added on to our account daily. We do enjoy the HH appetizers in the Sky Lounge ( another Elite perk ) with a diet coke or non-alcoholic beverage and meeting some fellow passengers.

Rare CruisinShips Posted November 9, 2022 #18 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Just to be clear, the Elite happy hour perk is irrelevant if you have a premium drink package (and/or are staying in a suite)....correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you prefer to have four vouchers that you could use at any time or being able to have your 'unlimited drinks' at most venues during a two hour window daily, since that they are no longer doing the Happy Hour reception in the Sky Lounge. 1 minute ago, CruisinShips said: Just to be clear, the Elite happy hour perk is irrelevant if you have a premium drink package (and/or are staying in a suite)....correct?

dazey Posted November 9, 2022 #23 Share Posted November 9, 2022 We also had a comp blue chip cruise and no drink package a few months ago. We always got the premium package and wondered if it was worth it. It was our chance to try it out. We are elite so we had the 5-7 HH and also played in casino where drinks were comped. I understand the quality there is not there but for the few we had it was fine. So we also ordered a bottle of Sake and a few glasses of wine at dinner(sometimes we carried our drinks from the casino to dinner) and drinks during our 7 day cruise and it came to less than $350. We did seem to drink less. It was kind of fun to see how it worked out. We are again on a cruise-only fare next month and will certainly go without a drink package. In May we have a drink package so imagine we will have a few more drinks during day. Being Elite, playing in the casino and not over drinking and being older makes no drink package work for us. Let us know how it works out for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sky Lounge is no longer reserved from 5 to 7 PM for the CC HH. Pick your own bar from 5 to 7 and enjoy your beverage of choice. Stop by the OVC and grab a snack if you want one with your drinks. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrity already loads your unlimited CC HH drinks on your Seapass card for the limited hours each evening. Same a a voucher. Same as having the CBP or the PBP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
