I wonder what the "starting from" means the price could go up to though?

Wine packages don't state how many bottles of wine are included? We loved the ship but the drink prices would definately put us off cruising with Celebrity again

29.75 x 2 x 16 nites it soon adds up

The cheapest wine package is $114 + 15% grat for 3 bottles.

Hardly a dealbreaker

These prices include the 15% so at todays exchange rate $112 ($95.62+15%) but I didn't think it specified the number of bottles per package?

The wine packs come in two grades 'Sommeliers' and 'Captains'

Both have a 3, 5, 7 bottle option

Prices I have are Sommeliers start at $114 for 3.........Captains start at $148 for 3

You may be correct about the price including 15% but that is normally if you pre pay.

The 15% being included is on the web page relating to the packages, but now I understand where the "Prices From" bit comes from


There is also a "build your own" Package available on the website but at prices from £146 it's a bit steep (but it also includes Louis Roderer Cristal Champagne ~ so I'll take three bottles of that please)

My husband refused to disclose how much he paid for the drinks on board Celebrity, so they must have been expensive. I don't drink at all so my bar bill was spent on a Gucci handbag and some jewellery.

He must have spent quite a lot because he bought it by the glass, will try to persuade him to take a package next time.

Oh I don't know... 29.25 per day per person comes in at 819 for a 2 week cruise...

and the premium 1022... that strikes me as an awful lot of money ... to add to the 3.5k for the cruise... the gratuites, the parking of 126 at southampton - NOT to mention 2 weeks in a cattery for the kids at 200...

I read that you can't "share" drinks... but can just one person in a party have the package? - thomsons wouldnt let you do that so I presume neither will Celebrity?

... on reflection I think I'll stick to keeping an eye on the tv screen and avoid the booze apart from lunches on shore days in local bars....
