Editorial Summary

The creators provide a detailed comparison between the Classic and Premium drink packages offered by Celebrity Cruises. They explain that they booked the Always Included option, which provides free Wi-Fi, covers gratuities, and includes the Classic drinks package. The video highlights the differences in spirit quality, noting that the Classic package features bottom shelf options like Jim Beam and Smirnoff, while the Premium package includes top shelf brands such as Macallan, Hendrick's, and Grey Goose. The creators also discuss the financial aspects of upgrading, mentioning that while the upgrade cost is advertised at twenty dollars per day, additional taxes and service charges make the actual cost higher. They suggest that travelers should visit guest relations to obtain a printed list of included beverages, as menus may not always clearly display what is covered. The video concludes with a comparison of non-alcoholic options, such as bottled water and specialty coffees, and a recommendation to weigh the cost of the package against paying individual supplements for specific premium drinks.

Creator's Key Takeaways

we opted for the always included which most people on board I think when you book the travel agent um you have the option to do this always included

the upgrade cost is twenty dollars 20 US dollars a day but while they so we were thinking oh well that's not bad so we'll go for that but what they didn't mention is uh that it's plus 18 which that is most of the things on the cruise plus another 10 tax

so be smart and Savvy get the list and then you'll be fine

we think next time we may just go for the classic package and just pay the supplement for the whiskeys because we're not because we're not huge drinkers

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Ask bar staff for the full list of entitled drinks, especially if you upgrade.
βœ“Consider the classic package and pay supplements for premium drinks if you're not heavy drinkers.
