Celebrity Got My Money Before I Even Boarded...

Creator's Key Takeaways
I recently spent two weeks sailing on board Celebrity Solstice and spent zero dollars, not a cent, nothing on drinks, specialty dining, or internet. Nothing.
Once booked, Celebrity hammers you hard with these pre-cruise emails. Multiple emails per week arrive telling you all about the latest news sale.
The convenience of having organized these things ahead of time meant that I was easily sorted onboard. I didn't even have to consider what else I needed to get.

I spent $0 once I was onboard Celebrity Solstice - but there’s a catch. Before boarding, I had already used the Celebrity Cruises pre-cruise planner to buy my extras, including the premium drinks package, premium internet and specialty dining. So while I didn’t spend anything extra once I was actually on the ship, Celebrity had already made sure plenty of the spending happened before the cruise even began. In this video, I’m taking a closer look at whether pre-paying for cruise extras makes the experience feel more premium - or whether the constant pre-cruise sales, bundles, upgrades and add-ons actually cheapen the experience before you even step onboard. Celebrity Cruises positions itself as a premium cruise line, and Celebrity Solstice certainly has many polished, elevated moments onboard. But modern cruising is changing. From drinks packages and Wi-Fi upgrades to specialty dining reservations and shore excursions, more and more of the cruise experience is being sold before you sail. So did buying everything in advance make my Celebrity Solstice cruise feel smoother and more all-inclusive? Or did the Celebrity Cruise Planner make the whole thing feel more like a shopping cart than a premium holiday? In this video I cover: * What I bought before boarding Celebrity Solstice * Why I spent $0 once onboard * Whether the Celebrity premium drinks package was worth it * Whether Celebrity’s pre-cruise planner improves or cheapens the experience If you’re planning a Celebrity cruise, wondering whether Celebrity’s drinks package, Wi-Fi package or specialty dining are worth buying, this video should help. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 🛳️ My website hosts one of the world's most powerful cruise search engines where you can research and even book your next cruise or land holiday.
