One of the most common questions about a Celebrity Cruises drink package is how many beverages a guest can have each day. Cruise travelers often assume there is a fixed allowance, such as 10 or 15 drinks per day, because some cruise lines have historically used daily beverage limits.
Celebrity Cruises has a different policy. According to the cruise line's current beverage-package FAQ, there is no daily limit on the number of drinks a guest can receive with a Celebrity Cruises drink package. However, there is an important ordering restriction: guests may order only one drink at a time. Additional drinks requested at the same time are charged at the current bar price.
That makes the question less about counting drinks and more about understanding what your package covers, which beverages qualify, and how the ordering rules work.
Celebrity Cruises states that there is no daily limit for drinks with its drink packages. This means your package is not limited to a specific number of beverages over a 24-hour period.
For example, there is no stated rule that you can have only 10, 12, or 15 package-covered drinks per day. Your package can be used throughout the day for eligible beverages.
That can be useful for guests who enjoy different types of drinks at different times, such as coffee in the morning, bottled water during the afternoon, and wine or cocktails in the evening.
The absence of a daily limit does not mean you can order several package drinks in a single transaction.
Celebrity Cruises says guests may order one drink at a time. Additional drinks ordered at the same time are charged at current bar prices.
For example, if you walk up to a bar and request two cocktails together, you should not assume both will be covered by the package. The one-drink-at-a-time rule applies.
The exact selection depends on the package you purchase. Celebrity Cruises currently offers beverage packages that include a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic choices.
Its beverage-package information describes options such as:
The Classic and Premium packages differ primarily in the range and price level of beverages covered.
Because drink menus and eligible brands can vary by package and sailing, guests should check the current package details for their specific cruise before purchasing.
The Classic Drink Package provides access to a broad selection of beverages, including bottled water, premium coffees and teas, beer, spirits, cocktails, liqueurs, and wine by the glass within the package's applicable price limit. Celebrity's current package information lists alcoholic drinks up to $10 per serving for many sailings, with a higher allowance of $12 for sailings from UK and Australian ports in its current sample package information.
The important point is that there is no daily numerical limit on covered drinks.
The Premium Drink Package provides a broader range of premium beverages. Celebrity's current sample package information lists alcoholic drinks up to $17 per serving, or $20 for sailings from UK and Australian ports.
Premium options can therefore be more useful for guests who prefer higher-priced wines, spirits, or cocktails that may not fall within the Classic package's price range.
Package inclusions can change, so the package information for your particular sailing should take priority over older drink-package charts found online.
The one-drink-at-a-time policy is easy to misunderstand.
Suppose you have a drink package and go to a bar with a friend. You ask for a cocktail for yourself and another drink for your friend using your package. Celebrity Cruises says guests may order only one drink at a time, and additional drinks ordered at the same time are charged at current bar prices.
The practical approach is simple: order your own package-covered beverage separately rather than expecting multiple drinks to be included in one order.
The policy also helps explain why "unlimited drinks" should not be interpreted as permission to obtain several beverages simultaneously.
Yes. Celebrity Cruises states that drink packages are active from the moment you board the ship.
This means you do not have to wait until a particular time of day before using your package.
Depending on the venue and available service, you can use eligible package benefits across the ship's restaurants, bars, and lounges. Celebrity describes its beverage packages as usable at restaurants, bars, and lounges onboard.
In terms of the number of eligible drinks, Celebrity's policy does not impose a daily limit. However, "unlimited" does not mean every alcoholic beverage on the ship is automatically covered.
Your package has eligibility rules, including beverage price limits and package-specific exclusions. A drink above your package's applicable allowance may result in an additional charge.
For example, Celebrity's current package information distinguishes the Classic and Premium price ranges for alcoholic beverages.
Guests should therefore distinguish between:
No daily drink limitYou are not limited to a set number of eligible beverages each day.
No price restrictionThis is not true. Your package still has applicable drink-price limits.
A beverage package does not necessarily cover the entire price of every drink on the menu.
Celebrity's current package information specifies price thresholds for drinks included with Classic and Premium packages. Drinks that exceed the relevant package amount can result in an additional charge.
This is one reason it is important to know which package you purchased before ordering premium wines, spirits, or specialty cocktails.
Celebrity's package information states that wine by the bottle is not included in the standard package coverage described for the Classic and Premium packages. However, the company offers discounts on bottles of wine for package holders, with the discount varying by package.
This is different from wine by the glass, which may be covered when it falls within your package's applicable limits.
Celebrity Cruises has a specific policy concerning drink-package purchases within the same stateroom.
The cruise line states that guests purchasing a Drink Package generally must purchase the same package for all other guests of legal drinking age in the same stateroom. If one eligible guest upgrades to a different package, the other guests of legal drinking age in that stateroom must also upgrade.
There are exceptions.
Celebrity states that certain guests may receive a Zero Proof package instead, including:
Children age 12 and under are not required to purchase a Zero drink package under the policy described by Celebrity.
Celebrity says drink packages can be used at restaurants, bars, and lounges onboard.
The cruise line also states that drink packages purchased onboard or through Cruise Planner can be used at Labadee or CocoCay. However, Celebrity notes that drink packages are not available on cruises in the Galápagos.
Because cruise offerings can differ by itinerary, always verify the rules that apply to your particular sailing.
There is a difference between the maximum allowed by policy and the number of drinks that makes sense for your vacation.
Since Celebrity does not impose a daily drink count, the better way to evaluate a package is to estimate what you normally consume.
For example, a guest might have:
There is no need to force yourself to consume a certain number of drinks simply because the package is unlimited by count.
A drink package can provide convenience, but responsible consumption should remain the priority.
Whether a beverage package is worthwhile depends on your drinking habits, package price, and the beverages you normally purchase.
It can make financial sense for someone who regularly purchases several qualifying beverages throughout the day. Guests who drink very little may find it less valuable.
The best comparison is to estimate your normal daily spending without a package and compare that with the package's total cost, including any applicable service charges or taxes.
Celebrity promotes its packages as offering access to a wide selection of beverages while also offering pre-cruise pricing opportunities.
Package prices, drink selections, and applicable terms can vary by itinerary and market. Do not rely on an old package chart from another sailing.
A package can have unlimited eligible drinks while still limiting the price of individual covered beverages.
No daily cap does not mean multiple simultaneous drinks are covered. Celebrity's one-drink-at-a-time rule still applies.
Look at the actual package price for your booking and compare it with what you realistically expect to spend.
Celebrity's official beverage-package FAQ is the best place to verify the current rules because package terms and selections can change.
There is no daily limit on the number of drinks covered by Celebrity Cruises drink packages, provided the drinks are eligible under the package terms.
No. Celebrity Cruises' current FAQ specifically states that there is no daily drink limit. The one-drink-at-a-time rule is separate from a daily quantity limit.
No. Celebrity says guests may order only one drink at a time. Additional drinks ordered at the same time are charged at current bar prices.
Eligible cocktails can be ordered without a daily numerical limit, but the cocktail must fall within the terms and price range of your specific package.
No. Celebrity states that there is no daily limit for drinks with its Drink Packages.
Yes. Celebrity states that drink packages are active from the moment you board the cruise.
Celebrity's package information says bottles of wine are not included, although package holders can receive a discount on wine by the bottle.
Generally, yes. Celebrity requires guests who purchase a Drink Package to purchase the same package for other guests of legal drinking age in the same stateroom, subject to specified exceptions.
So, how many drinks can you get a day with a Celebrity Cruises drink package? There is no daily drink limit under Celebrity Cruises' current beverage-package policy. Instead, the important restriction is that you can order only one drink at a time; additional drinks ordered together are charged at the prevailing bar price.
The package you choose still matters because Classic and Premium plans have different beverage selections and price limits. Bottles of wine are generally excluded, while eligible wine by the glass, beer, cocktails, spirits, coffee, water, and other beverages may be included depending on the package.
Before purchasing, check the package terms and pricing for your specific sailing. That will give you a much more accurate idea of whether the package fits your travel plans and drinking preferences.
