Celebrity Cruises has launched a new range of specialty dinner packages.
There are two types of packages available - one for food only and the others with wine.
Here are the options on Celebrity Eclipse to give you an idea.
Individual 3-dinner Package: $89pp. For this you get 1 meal at Tuscan Girlle, 1 meal at Qsine and 1 meal at Murano. This works out to about $30 per dinner. Without the package you’d pay at least $100.
The 5-dinner Package: $129pp For this you get 1 meal at Murano, 2 meals at Tuscan Grille, 2 meals at Qsine. Without the package deal you’d pay $165.
"Wine and Dine Packages": Designed for couples, broken down as follows.
Savor Package: Includes three dining reservations per couple and three bottles of wine.
The Gourmand Package: Includes five dining reservations per couple and three bottles of wine.
The Bacchus Package: offers five dining reservations per couple and five bottles of wine.
The couple’s wine-and-dine packages give you the best savings...
On Eclipse, 'Savor' is $279 per couple and 'Gourmand' is $349. However, it is 'Bacchus', that provides the biggest savings -- up to 26 percent or $144 per couple, according to Celebrity. The wine list includes more than 20 choices, with selections such as Chateau Grand Bireau's Cabernet Sauvignon, a Freemark Abbey Chardonnay and a Sancerre from Michel Redde. With Bacchus, each bottle of wine costs about $28, when compared to the individual food-only packages. Based on a quick scan of onshore wine prices, Celebrity's per-bottle price is slightly more than retail, although less than average ship pricing.
Celebrity say the new packages are a result of guest feedback...“Our guests tell us that packages offer not only convenience, but also added value,” said Scott Steenrod, Associate Vice President, Food and Beverage Operations. “We realise our guests’ vacation time is precious, and we want nothing more than to make it easy for them to enjoy their vacation. Our specialty dining packages are one more way that we make their planning effortless.”
Fab Cruise Line, must go on!!
