We are huge Celebrity fans and loved our cruise on Celebrity Apex this year. And if you have a cruise booked or are planning one? Here is our ultimate guide to Celebrity Cruises Drink Packages and Bar Menus. Of course, it’s not only alcoholic drinks packages we need to consider; it’s also about which drinks packages we should consider.
Celebrity Cruises offer lots of choice in their offering of drinks packages, and I have used my experience cruising with Celebrity Cruises, but I also scrolled through and read LOTS and asked many questions to bring you the latest up-to-date information. Occasionally there are Celebrity offers so keep your eyes peeled.

The Ultimate Guide To Celebrity Cruise Drink Packages
The best time to purchase your drink packages is online, either before your cruise or at the time of booking. Additionally, keep an eye out for special offers, as Celebrity occasionally offers promotions in the app, so check it regularly. However, you can also purchase a package or upgrade your package at any bar whilst on board, which will incur extra tax depending on the port you are sailing from.
On a recent cruise, I booked the Classic Drinks Package but was unsure if I would prefer the Premium Drinks Package for my next cruise. The Classic package did not include Pellegrino, and many of the cocktails were not to my taste, so I was worried I might not like the wine.
Eventually, for this cruise, I made the decision to upgrade to the Premium Drinks package. There have been a lot of changes, and many of my favourite drinks now fall under the Premium Drinks Package, and I was glad I did this. However, do keep checking the app, as we got our upgrade when it was on offer for $11 per person per day.
What Are The Celebrity Cruises Drink Packages Available And How Much Are They?
- Classic Drink Package, $90 per day, plus gratuities.
- Premium Drink Package, $110 per person per day, plus gratuities.
- Premium Drinks Package and Wifi $130 per person per day, plus gratuities.
- To Upgrade From the Classic to the Premium Package $18.00 plus gratuities.
- Non-Alcoholic Drink Package (Premium Non-Alcoholic Drink Package), $45 per person per day, plus 20% gratuities.
Do bear in mind these prices fluctuate daily with offers, check your cruise app for any daily offers and flash sales.
It’s not only our drinks package we need to consider, but also if you are cruising with the family then you need to ensure the kiddies are covered and kept hydrated during their cruise and the non-alcoholic and soda packages offer a lot of choices for cruisers.

Commonly Asked Questions And Points To Remember About Celebrity Cruises Drinks Packages
Are The Celebrity Cruises Packages Worth The Money?
If you look at the menus below you will be able to work out if the packages are good value for you.
As a rough example
- Wine $12 a glass x 3 with dinner = $36
- Soft drinks $4.75 a glass x5 = $23.75
- cocktails $14 x3 = $42
- Coffee ( you can also get in take-out cups) $5 x3 = $15
A grand total of $116.75, and that’s working on the classic drinks package prices. When we have this conversation with people, they always rank the drink package value against the amount of alcoholic drinks they drink. However, it makes sense to also factor in speciality coffees, soft drinks and water if you intend to drink those too.
- Is Prosecco included?
- Yes, certain brands of prosecco are part of the Celebrity Cruises drinks packages.
- Can you use the package in restaurants?
