cheeseheads4ever Posted January 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Sorry to beat this to death and maybe this has been covered before but we are booked on Beyond in April. We have Classic Drink Package Included with our cruise. We want to possibly upgrade to premium prior to boarding. Went into our manage reservation. Don’t see where there is a spot to upgrade from Classic to premium with a discount. How do I do this do I have to call? Looks like both beverage packages current have a 9-10% off deal if you can call it that when they raised it 20%. But anyway we would appreciate any help with this. Thank you in advance… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanaPam00 Posted January 27, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Yes, you have to call - I recommend the Captain’s Club number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breadandbutter Posted January 27, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 27, 2023 You have to call them to upgrade from classic, and I was told there was 10% discount when I enquired. Compared to $20 pp per day plus tip = $22 onboard. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfTheSeasCruiser Posted January 27, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 27, 2023 What would the per day price be to upgrade from an included Classic Package to Premium with the Elite discount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted January 27, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 27, 2023 The price is the difference between the 2 packages minus any CC discount plus 20%. Currently the price difference in our cruise planner is $18 less 15%= $15.30 + 20%, so $18.36. If you upgrade on board it would be $20 +20% or $24.

misha1 Posted January 28, 2023 #9 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I would also like to do this but only on my classic package. DH does not drink but he has the classic as well. Has anyone experienced this transition? I intend to have his PCP provide documentation that he does not drink alcohol due to medical contraindications but, how would this work in terms of calling to receive a discount? I guess one only finds these things out by doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobal Posted January 28, 2023 #10 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Excuse me jumping in to ask a different question, but is it still possible to upgrade part way through a cruise. I realise Elite discount won't apply in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea mom Posted January 28, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Just curious I'm just a beer drinker. If i upgrade from classic to premium and once onboard see that due to inventory most of the quality high end craft beers are out of stock can I downgrade back to the classic.

I realise Elite discount won't apply in this case. Yes, this is what is listed on the Celebrity website: Important details and advisements Wines by the bottle are discounted by 20%. Package prices may reflect an additional tax for certain ports or itineraries. Packages may not be shared, and do not include beverages sold in gift shops, mini-bar or room service. Packages must be purchased for the entire cruise. In the event that the package is purchased onboard, after the first day, guest will be charge for the number of nights remaining in voyage. Packages can be sold until the last two days of the cruise, or at the discretion of the Beverage Operations Manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can my DW upgrade to Premium and I stay at Classic? 34 minutes ago, jelayne said: Yes You've done this? It says in the FAQ that it's not allowed to upgrade just 1 person. Does everyone in the stateroom need to purchase the same drink package, including upgrades? The Drink Package Policy requires all guests to purchase the same Drink Package for ALL guests of legal drinking age in the same stateroom (ex. if one guest chooses to upgrade to the Premium Drink Package, ALL guests of legal drinking age in the stateroom must upgrade) This policy applies to packages purchased pre-cruise and onboard.

Sigyn Posted January 28, 2023 #20 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I just called to see about an upgrade and it's $148 pp to upgrade from Classic to Premium for a 7-day cruise including gratuities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just go by the Celebrity App. If you look look under Menu for the dining areas, there is a drinks listing of by the glass and bottle. There is no assurance that all of the wines listed will be available onboard but from what I am reading, the availability of wines is improving.

chrisinaz Posted January 28, 2023 #22 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Hi. We are on beyond mid may in aqua.

Hope this helps they actually were pretty efficient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps they actually were pretty efficient. That's $16.50 per day. - Exactly what I paid a couple weeks ago for a 7 night cruise - $16.50 x 7 = $115.50 with the Elite discount. Seems pretty consistent? And I did upgrade only my husband to Premium (didn't know that evidently the rules had changed in December), as I only drink beer and Franziskaner is on Classic and I love wit bier so it works for me. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRH Posted February 3, 2023 #24 Share Posted February 3, 2023 We are on the Equinox and it is not worth it to upgrade as many premium liquors are not even onboard. Wines stocked are pitiful—thank heaven for being able to bring two bottles each. Many complaints from those with premium. We stayed with classic and some of the classic things are not even stocked. Very disappointing. We’ve checked with all the bars and they shrug—nothing much is being restocked each time in FLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are they making the martinis with Tito’s and other well spirits? We have upgraded to Premium from AI/Classic on Equinox (granted, not til Nov./23 sailing), but don’t want to pay the up charge if they aren’t even stocking the premium vodkas and gins we have paid for.
