It’s not 2 free drinks per night.  It’s unlimited between 5 and 7

Here’s the menu, but I  don’t know where you got the idea it was only two drinks per night.

hrhdhd, did you say there was no limit on the drinks between 5 - 7 from the limited selection for Elite and above? Not just 3 drinks? Did you mean Elite +?

The benefit begins at Elite and is for unlimited drinks from the menu posted above.

Don’t forget the other benefits...

Years back it was 3 drinks at the Happy Hour and we would get the coupons.  Then migrated to your card.  Now unlimited.

 At Al Bacio they also have free pastries in the morning and cakes and sweets in the afternoon evening.

Are these sweets complimentary without a drink purchase? We are not "elite +". Thanks.

Confusing description on the Celebrity app as the sweets are free though all the drinks are not.

All the food in the glass display case at Cafe al Bacio is totally free for everyone.  You do not need to purchase a beverage to have food.  You can eat it there or get a to-go bag to take to your cabin or anywhere…

The app is often confusing, incomplete, incorrect, and misleading

We have always had a drink package.  In December, we will not ( maybe will purchase but don't know yet).  Also, am Elite plus but just never really focused on those bennies much.  We generally enjoy Cafe Al Bacio 2-3 times daily, my personal favorite drink is the Iglu.  My question is this...is the entire (non-alcoholic) menu available at no charge to Elite plus?  Is there a daily limit?  DH likes a Chai tea or Capp along with Americano.  Thanks in advance!

I wonder if they should put in an expresso machine at the gelato station and open that up when the main station is very busy 

BEST IDEA EVER, hope celebrity is reading thread.

Yes all drinks without alcohol at Cafe Al Bacio are complementary and unlimited for Elite+ and higher status.

The same for the cafe in the buffet on E-Class ships. Note that the Segundo Al Bacio does not have premium teas,only espresso based drinks.

On silhouette, there is an espresso machine at the gelato stand and during the morning rush-hour, there is a big sign there telling people that they can get a “to go” coffee drink there

Hi everyone. Hubby and I will be sailing on the Solstice next year and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me the current cost of a cappuccino? We do not plan on getting any drinks packages, the prices are just crazy and not worthwhile to us. Thank you for any help you can give me. Vicki 🙂

Look on the app for your sailing.  It should have all the prices, if not look at a current sailing out of the port your leaving, that will be more up to date.

Thank you bikerunner. I’ve looked on the App (I’m in Australia, not sure if that makes a difference) but individual prices are not showing. I can see all the packages, which are just too expensive, for our needs. Vicki. 🙂

Thanks again. I was hoping you would quote US$. On our last Celebrity cruise (2018) the US price was $6. I’ll just have to wait & see. Our sailing is from Honolulu to Sydney. Vicki. 🙂

It is 6 with gratuity. 5+20%.  So 6 is correct for us sailings

Does that include soft drinks?

No. The Elite+ benefit is solely for premium coffees and teas,no other beverages.

This should read “all COFFEE drinks without alcohol.  Water, soda, juices are not part of the Elite Plus benefit

 Just for a point of clarification, they are not part of the Cafe al Bacio unlimited premium coffee's benefit but water and soda's are part of the Elite Happy Hour benefit.

The question, and this thread, are about Café Bacio benefits

Not so. The Elite + benefit includes all coffee drinks (hot and iced) without alcohol, all speciality teas and hot chocolate. All drinks unlimited.

The coffees are also available at every bar that has an espresso machine (eg passport and casino bars on S class).
