ulcards99 Posted July 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 4, 2023 First time on Celebrity in February 2024. We will be Diamond on Royal Caribbean, so the status reciprocity would be Elite on Celebrity. Our cruise fare has the all included in it with the Classic Beverage package. For the Happy Hour unlimited drinks, would we be able to get wines over the $10 classic beverage package limit and other liquors that are only included in the Premium package?

HH is all day with the CBP. Any drinks over the allowed amount you'll pay the difference plus 20% gratuity. No need to order off the limited CC HH (5 to 7:PM) beverage menu as you have the CBP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunandShade Posted July 4, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 4, 2023 The Happy Hour is a specific and limited menu and you can get the HH drinks in any bar during the designated time. My experience has been that without the beverage package, the HH drinks (example- Cosmopolitan) will be served in the smaller flight glass you’d find at the Martini Bar. I expect with the bev package you’d get the full size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39august Posted July 4, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Just order what you want under the classic pkg. limit all day and most of the night. No need for HH for you at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicpersona Posted July 6, 2023 #9 Share Posted July 6, 2023 If you have a drink package, the Elite HH drinks are moot. Order what you want from the drink package of which the HH drinks are a subset. If there is a HH event in the Sky Lounge (with hors d'oeuvres, etc.) bar service may or may not allow you to order package drinks. I've been told no problem at all, and I've been told that I had to order from the HH list. Depends on phase of the moon, etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never actually seen milkshakes on a celebrity cruise. The bars which have blenders do not have ice cream. The ice cream stand does not have a blender.

Want2Cruise 701 Posted July 6, 2023 #16 Share Posted July 6, 2023 As everyone has stated, the Elite Cocktail Hour is meaningless when you have a package. Enjoy the package and drink when and where you’d like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see something on the Happyy Hour menu that isnt in your classic package, you can order it between 5-7 pm. Is that what you are asking?

No. There's nothing on the Happy Hour menu that isn't fully covered by the classic package. 3 minutes ago, janetjulie said: Can you get actual bottled water (not in a can) and/ or sparkling water during the happy hour?

If it is on the happy hour menu, you can order it without any further payment. If you are looking for something that is not on the happy hour menu, your normal terms and conditions of your classic package apply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t know there was a list of items specifically for the happy hour for elite status. I have never been on Celebrity before but am Diamond on Royal. So I was just trying to understand if there were drinks during the happy hour not included with the classic drink package and whether those would be covered. However, since it sounds like everything during happy hour would be covered under the classic drink package, then the question is moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, I was not sure if wines above the $10 limit were included in happy hour. However, as it was stated at some point, there aren’t any drinks available during happy hour that are not included in the classic beverage package. Which answers my question. Thank you.
