Golfsnc Posted May 17, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Thanks for the response. I’m still not sure if she gets the whole zero proof package because it still allows me to buy it for her on the website versus saying ineligible. again. Sorry if this is silly.

Don't worry about the web site. I am in a Suite on my next cruise and the web site will allow me to buy a drink package and internet.....it's pretty ridiculous. If you booked AI, then those over 21 get a Classic drink package and under 21 get a Zero Proof package. Have a great cruise! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigAWL Posted May 17, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I'm not an experienced Celebrity cruiser, but I've been reading these threads for tips. What I understand from others' experiences is that the All Included classic drinks package includes specialty coffees, but not those with alcohol in them. What's not clear to me is this... if the full price of the drink is equal to or less than the $10 classic package threshold, what would they charge you? I have seen what appears to be a recent al Bacio menu online that shows drinks with Kahlua, rum, or Jameson priced at $9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to hear about the coffee cocktails. But it's not really anything, right? Premium water? Redbull? Smoothies and zero cocktails? I think those are all priced under the threshold.

helen haywood Posted May 17, 2023 #9 Share Posted May 17, 2023 There are a few alcoholic coffees that fall in the Classic Package price point. The Classic Package does not include Red Bull and premium waters…even though they are priced lower than your price point, they are not included and you would pay the full $5 or whatever.

sonoma03 Posted May 18, 2023 #11 Share Posted May 18, 2023 If you are over 21 and have the All Included, can you choose to get the Zero Proof package instead of the Classic Package? I don't drink alcohol and would get more benefit from the Zero Proof than the Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, with most drinks/cocktails it’s easy to just let staff know you have the classic package and they’ll tell you what you can get or adjust a drink so you have it included. Re the coffees: just get the coffee and the liquor separately and pour it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re the coffees: just get the coffee and the liquor separately and pour it in. Is this more accurate? Whenever you get any alcoholic drink not included in the classic package you will only be charged the difference + service charge. For any non-alcoholic drink not included in the package, you will be charged the full price of the drink plus service charge. Caveat: while zero-proof cocktails are specifically not included in the classic package, you can get them for free anyway. I added this caveat because someone posted their experience in another thread. Can others confirm? And sorry if it feels I'm being pedantic, but every dollar of difference for every individual drink we're talking about here goes into my calculation for choosing to upgrade to premium or not. Interesting tip on the spiked coffee though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because unlike the alcoholic drinks there hardly is a "difference" to charge. It is either included or not. For example a smoothie is not included, Perrier is not included. You order that, you pay in full. And yes, non alcoholic cocktails are included! Virgin Colada etc. no problem.

Yes, if under age for the cruise (..it could be 18 in Europe for example) they should get the Zero Proof package. You will still see packages that you already have show up for sale on the web site, so don't depend on that for any indication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
