Are Drinks Included? What about Wifi? Gratuity?
Your cruise package comes with Celebrity's Classic Drink Package & Celebrity's Basic WiFi Package.
Guests may wish to upgrade the drink package (usually around $100) to include a wider range of beverages. The Classic Beverage package covers liquors, cocktails, beers, and wines listed on the onboard menu for under $10. Guests can also enjoy specialty coffee, juice, and basic bottled water with their meals or throughout the day. The Premium Beverage Package includes premium liquors, cocktails, beers, and wines listed on the onboard menu for under $17. Guests can also enjoy smoothies, specialty coffee, juice, and premium bottled water like Evian or San Pellegrino with their meals or throughout the day.
Guest may wish to upgrade the Wifi Package (usually around $10/day/person for one device).

The Premium WiFi Package allows you to message and video chat on messenger services; browse the web; send emails and post on social media; video chat live; and watch your favorite videos, movies, music and shows.
