MAGSMFC Posted June 21 #1 Share Posted June 21 Can you please tell me if you make a bid online to a Sky Suite and you haven't bought a drink package will you receive free drinks in the Retreat Lounge only but you will have to pay for them elsewhere on the ship. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted June 21 #2 Share Posted June 21 Yes, drinks in the Lounge only. Drinks in Luminae, the Retreat Sundeck and other venues on the ship you will be charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAGSMFC Posted June 21 Author #3 Share Posted June 21 Thank you for your reply. If you go into the Lounge and order a drink it would be free but if you are sitting on a lounger outside you will have to pay for a drink ? I understand you would definitely have to pay for one in Luminae. I just want to confirm this is correct before I consider making a bid.

spammie Posted June 21 #5 Share Posted June 21 Free drinks ONLY in the Retreat Lounge. They ask for your seapass card at the Retreat Sundeck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you There are no rules against getting your drinks in the Retreat Lounge and taking them into Luminae, back to your cabin or wherever!

George C Posted June 21 #13 Share Posted June 21 We have done suites every celebrity cruise , only once on a M class did we not have a drink package. Suite lounge will serve you a double of whatever you drink or large glass of wine which you can carry to Luminae or whatever lounge you want . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen the sommelier not charging for wine by the glass in Luminae to some without a beverage package. The couples would always leave a nice tip for her service... This may not happen anymore because there has been a tightening of policies recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks How much would you save if you won the bid vs booking a Sky Suite to begin with? If you are losing the drink package that's a big ticket item and you also don't get the higher loyalty points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That only applies to cruise line customer service reps. Cruise Critic members don't play that game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go here Celebrity Cruises Suites: The Retreat - Suite Life. Elevated. Then scroll down until you get to food and drink. Lots of scrolling to get there. It shows, " Unlimited Premium Drink Package: Featuring award-winning portfolio of red, white, and bubbly wines representing vineyards from around the world**" When you look to see what the ** means it says "**Not included with special fares or MoveUp upgrades from a non-suite stateroom" Now as we have all learned from X, most of the time what the website says happens. Example I have heard of guests in the suite purchasing drinks that were $20 and not being charged the $3 surcharge over the premium package.

Rare cruisestitch Posted June 22 #23 Share Posted June 22 The OP was NOT asking about having a premium drink. Package included with a sweet booking from move up. The question was, if a move up bid into a suite was made, would drinks be available in the retreat. And yes, they would be. Would the OP need to pay for drinks ordered elsewhere, yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
