Forget pool bar way to busy for them but if you hit sunset at right time might be a chance. I made my own one time. I just asked for a glass of tequila and triple sec. And 2 whole limes It was at sailaway and super busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key limes are not as tart and not as acid overall in simple terms. I use to use them all the time when living down in Miami It’s not super pronounced overall but if you put a reg key lime pie next to one made with the normal ones you find everywhere there is a big difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyjade3 Posted June 8, 2023 #28 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Wait a second. This is my first time on Celebrity but I've sailed lots on other cruise lines. I didn't book a drink package at all. Is anything included? Water? Tea? Coffee? Juice? Do you HAVE to choose a drink package? I'll probably get 2 glasses of wine the whole cruise and hubby won't get anything alcoholic. Our two boys would drink juice the whole time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakes2 Posted June 8, 2023 #29 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Tea coffee iced tea and orange juice is included. Don't bother with drinks package just pay as you go or bring a bottle of your favorite wine onboard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lorimay Posted June 8, 2023 #30 Share Posted June 8, 2023 In the Oceanview buffet, tap water, coffee, hot tea, iced tea, lemonade and a juice drink and milk are all complimentary. Bottled water, sodas and regular juices are not. In the dining rooms and restaurants, coffee, tea, iced tea and milk are complimentary. Juices, sodas and any alcoholic drinks, bottled water and sodas are not. You don't need a package. We don't drink alchohol so never get a package and do just fine. It's must cheaper, even if you drink a few sodas or a couple of glasses of wine, not to get a package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardowMD Posted June 9, 2023 #31 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I would either carry it on, or purchase in ports. Only club soda available on classic package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoMom!! Posted June 10, 2023 #33 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) Sneaking this question in, and hoping for your kindness.. We have the classic drink package from an AI offer a long time ago - rebooked to Sept this year. New to Celebrity . I probably drink more diet soda than alcohol. Do I pay an upcharge, or full price for say a Diet Coke? And yes, I will probably bring some on board myself. Edited June 10, 2023 by ColoradoMom!!

I know you can bring 2 bottles of wine per person over the age of 18. You may want to double check the soda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diet Coke/soda is included with the classic drink package - there's no need to bring any onboard yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember it is two bottles of wiine per passenger over 21 years of age if sailing out of US ports. I do not know if the age limit is the same or is lower for Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! I thought - well gosh it should be - but also thought maybe they wanted me to buy the zero proof package - so I wasn't sure. This is great news!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I get mine from Walgreens the evening before boarding ship, however last couple of cruises they have been low in stock so you may want to try Publix or winn dixie.
