Yes, it seems that Celebrity still considers non-alcoholic beers as beers. It seems there is a very slight amount of alcohol in them. Tis not to reason why ....

The ones I drink are truly zero alcohol Examples include Heineken 0.0, Corona 0.0%, Guinness Draught 0.0 and Peroni 0.0 all of which are good Do they still have that rule that everyone in the cabin must buy the same package. I just tried to buy the non alcoholic package but it doesn’t seem to let just me get it. My wife wants the regular package Can she upgrade it once aboard?

To clarify, you can get the non-alcohol package and she can get either alcohol package but you need to call them to explain why this needs to happen.

A Sixth? Posted January 24 Author #11 Share Posted January 24 (edited) sent this email to ldinardo@celebrity.com Good day I saw this headline in the Washington Post. “More travelers are ‘dry-tripping.’ Airlines and hotels have noticed.” It should have read: “More travelers are ‘dry-tripping.’ Airlines, cruise lines, and hotels have noticed.” I recently quit alcohol on doctors orders and discovered a new generation of non alcoholic beers which are a huge improvement over non alcoholic ones of the past. What beers are really good? Examples include Heineken 0.0, Corona 0.0%, Guinness Draught 0.0 and Peroni 0.0 all of which are fantastic. I loved sitting at the ship bars and attending activities like the “Silent Disco” sipping on a cold beer and want to continue but with quality zero proof beverages. Celebrity can both capitalize on this trend as well as better serve their loyal customers by being a market leader and offer a selection of booze free beverage offerings. My next Celebrity cruise is May 11th, 2024, booking #72xxxxx on the Eclipse going to Martha’s Vineyard and Bermuda and would love to enjoy a quality beer, just one without alcohol.

Word of caution on the non-alcoholic beers. I tried this(after my doctor said to abstain from drinking) for about 3 weeks and I was soon again drinking beer and other things with alcohol in it. My own experience tells me that this was not the answer for me. Just wanted to share my experience with you. Have a great trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m almost 100 days and going to a group once a week and so far I haven’t missed the real thing. Hopefully it’s for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Sixth? Posted January 24 Author #15 Share Posted January 24 Just to put an answer to the different packages in the same cabin I called and today Celebrity emailed me the paid-for bill, one non alcoholic package and one alcoholic package 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseDad-NYC Posted January 25 #16 Share Posted January 25 Hi, there - I started drinking non-alcoholic 0/0 beer last year in solidarity with my wife, who had to stop drinking alcohol because of some medications she is on. I was shocked at how good they are now and how many choices there are. Taste-wise, I can't tell the difference and don't mind not getting a buzz off them, which I have actually noticed is a plus for me. You can bring non-alcoholic beer on board and keep them in the refrigerator in your cabin. That's what I did on my B2B Mediterranean cruise from Barcelona last fall. I brought 2 six packs that cost me about $5 each, which is less than the price of a single non-alcoholic beer on the ship. I will be on the Eclipse again this spring and will do the same. Good luck to you and enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted January 25 #17 Share Posted January 25 Be aware that you are not supposed to bring NA beer on board. They may have allowed it in Barcelona but don’t count on it for Eclipse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseDad-NYC Posted January 26 #18 Share Posted January 26 (edited) That's not true. 0/0 beer is non-alcoholic and Celebrity allows you to bring in non-alcoholic beverages that you can carry on yourself (can't be in checked luggage).

I know about 0/0 beer but it still is problematic for the screeners who have instructions of “No beer allowed”. They work for the port not the cruiser be and aren’t going to get into the nuances of Celebrity’s policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic_Creation Posted January 26 #21 Share Posted January 26 Hi, I was on the Eclipse to Alaska in June of 2023 and my non-alcoholic beer was included in my Zero Proof package. I was also on the Solstice in January of 2023 and the non-alcoholic beer was included in the Zero Proof package as well. I was never charged for any of them.

It may be non-alcoholic but it is still beer and Celebrity rules do not permit brining beer aboard. Spin it all you want but until the rules are changed, you are in the wrong if you bring beer, non-alcoholic or otherwise aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helpmenew2crusing Posted January 26 #23 Share Posted January 26 Zero-Proof Package: Does the pre-cruise pricing ever get any better then the 10% off? I have watched for months and I have only ever seen the 10% while every other drink package has fluctuated between 20% and 45% off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
