Kelownadon Posted November 19, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) I think you get the same coffees as those with no status. Edited November 19, 2023 by Kelownadon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some cruiselines do put out complementary drip coffee near their for fee coffee counters but not Celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A special treat on E-Class Spa Cafes in the Solarium is the coffee machines are those fancy automatic espresso machines which is self serve and complementary. The complimentary coffee machines in other Spa Cafes and other areas of the ship are your standard drip coffee machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not from Cafe al Bacio physically, however, there is a little "hack" that's within the rules to get the same coffee for free. Your Elite status allows you to attend the Captain’s Club daily coffeehouse-style breakfast (usually Tuscan Restaurant/Tuscan Grille) which uses the same espresso-based coffees as Cafe al Bacio and is possibly coffee from Cafe al Bacio on some ships. It should be noted that this is only an option during the morning hours Edited November 20, 2023 by NutsAboutGolf 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps in number but for anyone who drinks little (or in our case zero) alcohol and doesn't want unlimited WiFi the Elite+ benefits are extremely valuable - unlimited free speciality tea/coffees/chocolate (hot and iced), 240 minutes premium WiFi per person and 2 bags (30 items per bag) of laundry per person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted November 20, 2023 #14 Share Posted November 20, 2023 We use all those perks. Wish priority boarding will be reinstated and a better spa discount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted November 20, 2023 #15 Share Posted November 20, 2023 6 hours ago, the penguins said: Open from 8 am to 10am Yup, and another perk is that if only one person in the party has status they can get others in (on my last two sailings, no one even asked to check our room keys during multiple visits). In Cafe Al Bacio, when you hear someone order a coffee and ask for a second cup/cup of ice/cup of milk, it's most likely because they are going to split the coffee (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Our Elite+ status allows us to book without AI which is considerably cheaper on the cruises we have booked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how it should be yet they have been known to comp a second drink from time to time. I'm specifically talking about when at the Elite coffee house breakfast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they are not allowed are the free drinks in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
