Buying Drink Package mid cruise

[kayo kruiser2]

We will be on a 12 day cruise on the Constellation.  Currently, we don't have a drink package as the first few days are port intensive so we will just pay for individual drinks those days.   Does anyone know if you can purchase the drink package mid cruise while onboard?  Thanks for info.

Yes, you can buy a drinks package for the remainder of the cruise (not individual days) up until a couple of days before the end of the trip.

 

The cost is the daily rate times the number of days remaining.

Wonderful!  I had asked the Celebrity staff member when we made the booking and he didnt think it was possible but said ask Guest Relations once onboard.  Good to know in advance that its an option.  Thanks for the quick response.

Keep an eye out for beverage package discounts in the cruise planner.  Recently there have been 49-45% discounts.  If you can catch one of those sales you could purchase the package for the entire 12 nights for almost the same price as buying it at full price for 6 nights once on board.

Thanks for the heads up

I wouldn't count on being able to buy a beverage package mid-cruise. Usually they pull them from sale on the second night of a cruise, but individual ships/beverage managers may have leeway? I know Royal has a hard and fast second night cutoff.

 

WiFi tends to be much more flexible, and they're willing to sell you remaining number of days on a cruise at almost all points up to departure.

This must be a new change.  We have not seen any indication that Celebrity cuts off beverage package sales on the 2nd night.  They have cut off at the later part of a sailing. So maybe cut off on night 2 is for 4 or 5 night sailing.  Got off a cruise last month and beverage packages were being advertised in the daily  beyond the halfway point.

That's reassuring.  I wonder if it depends on how full the ship is. Our cruise is virtually sold out since it's the Mardi Gras sailing.
