Jjg34219 Posted March 1, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 1, 2023 We are on the Connie March 17, first time Celebrity cruisers, wondering what the options are for NA beer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basenji56 Posted March 1, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 1, 2023 On Celebrity Beyond, most places had Heineken 0.0. When they didn't have that, they had O'Douls. The Heineken product was very good. Tasted like real Heineken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flysrb Posted March 1, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Hey Now! are NAs covered on the NA beverage package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the all included fare with the classic drink package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestLakeGirl Posted March 1, 2023 #6 Share Posted March 1, 2023 In the past, they have not been covered in the nonalcoholic packages. You had to have an alcohol package to be able to get them. Perhaps because there was some residual alcohol in them, I’m not sure. I do know that children could not order them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basenji56 Posted March 1, 2023 #7 Share Posted March 1, 2023 What is the Zero Proof Package (previously the Premium Non-Alcoholic Package)? Refresh with premium bottled water from Evian, Perrier, San Pellegrino, & Panna, Specialty Coffees & Organic Teas, Red Bull Energy Drink, Frozen Smoothies, Zero Proof Cocktails, Coca-Cola selections, offerings from Vitamin Water, and Bottled Iced Teas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very odd that nonalcholic beer is not mentioned as being included in this package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic_Creation Posted March 1, 2023 #9 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Hi, Just came back from a couple of Solstice cruises. Heineken 0.0 was covered under my Zero Proof package. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually made without alcohol from the onset. Heineken used to make “Buckler” which was a little better. That and most N/A beers start out with alcohol in them.

Chardonnay Char Posted March 1, 2023 #11 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I'm wondering if bringing some NA onboard is allowed. (we would prefer to bring it instead of wine). My husband really doesn't like O'Douls. He will drink Heineken but much prefers Beck's NA. Does anybody know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted March 1, 2023 #12 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I was told, and this explanation is a little odd to me, that because the non-alcoholic beers are distributed and sold by their alcohol sources, it is classified as alcohol by Celebrity and is not part of the non-alcoholic packages. Also this means that you cannot bring it on board the way you can bring soft drinks and sodas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the old beverage package which did not include alcohol drinks is very different from the Zero Proof .. I am glad to see they understand the NA Beer is 'zero proof.' Has anyone with the new Zero Proof package been told that NA beer was not included? I am not sure it matters what the old experience was, @Celtic_Creation says it was on a recent cruise. Then again, inconsistency between ships would not be that unusual. Edited March 1, 2023 by DaKahuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestLakeGirl Posted March 2, 2023 #14 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Alcohol free wine was also not included in the nonalcohol packages and I expect that the same is true now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chardonnay Char Posted March 2, 2023 #15 Share Posted March 2, 2023 We have the AI/Classic package. Just hoping we can swap the 2 bottles of wine each for some good NA, like Becks. For heart reasons, my husband can only drink a couple of real beers a night so he likes to mix in a couple of NAs to stretch his pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestLakeGirl Posted March 2, 2023 #16 Share Posted March 2, 2023 If you are referring to the two bottles of wine you are each allowed to bring on board, Do not expect them to let you bring N/A beer instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
