Royal doesn’t have the same “no sharing “ rule that Celebrity has.

That is because Royal perk is not unlimited while Celebrity is unlimited for 2 hours

yup.. and oops

I missed the CAS reference in the post..so that is Royal not X! 

 

Those who sail with others who do not have perk staus are probably better off on Royal  for that aspect!

Not realy, because the number of drinks is limited on Royal... unless you call sharing the 4 drinks over a day a benefit.

You get a voucher for 4 drinks per day - and my understanding is any kind of drink. 
The point where I see the benefit ist that you can also have the drinks at a restaurant.

No you can't and if you did that was an exception on your cruise. The Crown Lounge (old Diamond Lounge) is only for Diamond, Diamond+ and Pinnacle. We have seen the CL (DL) concierge check Seapass cards and deny those that were not D,D+ or P. As it should be! You are allowed to give your CAS drinks to whoever you want, at any other bar/lounge. 

I believe you are referring to Royal cruises. Celebrity doesn’t have a dedicated lounge on any of their ships. Drinks cannot be shared

woudn't  the server check your Card and limit passing off drinks to others, which is against the no sharing rule?

@cruisestitch is correct. Once the drink(s) are ordered they do not care who drinks it and it's not against the CAS policy. Like with Celebrity RC doesn't allow sharing drinks from the Beverage Package.

Go back and read the post I quoted. Very clear that person was talking about RCs CAS and so was my response, very clear. I'm very well aware of Celebrity's CC HH drink policy and no dedicated CC lounge, fleetwide.

Or 5 or 6 drinks daily. D=4, D+=5, P=6.

Last we cruised Celebrity (just recently) Celebrity had dedicated lounges for Elites and above from 5:00 - 7:00.  Sky Lounge on Solstice class, and The Club on Edge Class.

I think you may be confusing two different things. In general the drinks are now available every night in almost every bar. In addition on a couple of nights X has reintroduced a dedicated lounge where they also serve a few snacks - on the nights this lounge is in operation you can still get the Elite drinks at all the other bars.

Any drink you order will come off your allowance. I believe you can decide which drinks you want to be "free" so naturally you would choose the most expensive. This is why anyone with Elite+ status who doesn't drink alcohol is much better off with X's system as they get:

Unlimited speciality teas/coffees/ chocolate in the Al Bacio plus a slightly reduced range at every other bar that has an espresso machine.

Water/sodas etc in unopened cans/bottles during Happy Hour

Fruit juices during Happy Hour - we take one each into dinner.

Lattes etc in the MDR.

Fresh fruit smoothies at the Elite breakfast - these are charged at other venues.

But not every night, correct? My understanding it is now only two or three nights (depending on the length of the cruise)? Not like it use to be, every night except the first night of the cruise. We'll be on the Edge in September.

How do you know what days the Elite lounge is open?

Celebrity does not have a dedicated Elite Lounge. If they have a CC HH gathering in a reserved lounge for that specific cruise it will be from 5 to 7:PM. Not every evening. Other than that the CC HH is from 5 to 7:PM every evening at most bars but not an organized CC HH event.  All that info will be in your Elite letter with all your other perks/benefits.

It’s not every night, only 2-3 per cruise. Royal has the dedicated 24-hr cruise

You’ll see them listed on the Captain’s Club schedule you receive in your stateroom.
