Top Shelf Country Cruise Beverage Offerings
|
|
|
|
Booked guests and prospective guests alike have been clamoring to learn about the various beverage packages that you can purchase for Top Shelf Country Cruise. Beer Packages, in particular, are of interest. After all, listening to live country music without a nice cold one in your hand is just not right!
When it comes to sipping in style on the Top Shelf Country Cruise, we believe your drink of choice should be just as “Top Shelf” as your cruise experience. Whether you're toasting an unforgettable set from Keith Urban or just unwinding under the stars after a day in paradise, having the right drink in hand can be the cherry (or lime!) on top of a perfect cruise day.
That’s why we’ve curated four distinct beverage packages —each designed to match your pace, your palate, your pocketbook and your party style.
(Note: You don’t have to purchase a beverage package to enjoy drinks on Top Shelf Country Cruise; you can always purchase drinks separately. Beverage packages simply provide convenience and value.) |

If you're the kind of person who hears “all-in” and actually leans in, this one’s for you. Think of this package as your backstage VIP lanyard to the liquid good life: full access to beer, wine, spirits, bottled water and specialty coffees — anything and everything up to $17 per beverage.
It’s not just about quantity (though there’s plenty of that). It’s about quality. You’ll even get a generous 20% off any bottle of wine you fall in love with and want to take home… or to dinner… or back to the stateroom to toast under the stars.
If your vacation motto is “go big or stay on land,” this is your ticket. |
|
|
|
|
| If the Premium Beverage Package is the front row at the stadium, then the Classic Beverage Package is a good seat in the first ten rows. You’ll still be drinking just fine — unlimited selections of wines by the glass, frosty beers, perfectly blended cocktails and yes, even that iced caramel macchiato you can’t live without. Almost every drink up to $10 is covered here. |

This one’s near and dear to our hearts because it’s made just for us. Celebrity Cruises didn’t have a package like this before Top Shelf Country Cruise came to town. It's been meticulously crafted with you in mind.
You get your pick of brews — Budweiser, Coors Light, Corona, Heineken, Miller Lite, Michelob Ultra, Blue Moon, Sam Adams and more — all covered up to $12 a bottle or draft.
Heads up: This package is just includes beer. No water, no soda, no espresso martinis (though you can still buy these separately). Just the cold ones you know and love. You can’t even find it on Celebrity’s website. It’s a Top Shelf secret. |

The Non-Alcoholic Drink Package
|
|
|
|
For those cruising clean, you haven’t been forgotten. Whether you’re staying dry, pacing yourself or just prefer a smoothie over a spiked seltzer, this package is your best friend.
Specialty coffees, sodas, bottled water, fruit smoothies — all unlimited. Sometimes, the best buzz is just knowing you’re hydrated, caffeinated and fully present. |
|
|
|
When Are Drink Packages Available to Purchase?
|
|
|
|
For now, drink package information is just that: informational. Drink packages are typically not available for purchase until about 6 months before the cruise sets sail.
With that in mind, every Signature Cruise Experiences sailing includes a “Get Ready” series of emails designed to prepare guests for their cruise and Top Shelf Country Cruise is no exception. From travel and passport information to food and drink packages, we’ll provide all the information you need to help you plan for a fun, stress-free vacation.
Be sure to keep an eye on your inbox in the coming months. |

|
| Now, when it comes to where you can acquire and enjoy your beverage of choice, our ship, Celebrity Reflection, contains plenty of bars and lounges throughout. You can read about each of them below (or bookmark the information about them on this page of our website). |
|
|
|
|
|
| If you’re wearing flip flops, sun-kissed and thirsty, these are your watering holes. Simple, spirited and always close to the action, the Pool & Mast Bars on decks 14 and 15 are your no-frills, full-flavor spot for an outdoor drink. |
|
|
|
|
|
| If you believe the best way to toast the day is with the sea behind you and a drink in your hand, then the Sunset Bar is your cathedral. It’s tucked in the back of the ship, where the breeze is steady, the sky is endless and the vibe is just right. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Right off the ship’s grand foyer, the Passport Bar is like that perfect roadside bar you didn’t plan to stop at, but end up loving. Whether it’s country tunes in the background or a cold drink in your hand, this is the “I’ll just rest my boots for a minute” kind of place that becomes your nightly tradition. |
|
|
|
|
|
| For those who like their stories told between swigs and their nights aged to perfection, Cellar Masters is where you’ll want to be. It’s a laid-back treasure trove of global wines, where the bottle you’ve never heard of might just become your new favorite. |
|
|
|
|
|
| You know how some folks like their bourbon neat and their cocktails crafted with surgical precision? That’s the World Class Bar. From fresh ingredients to mixologists who treat their job like an art form, this bar lives up to its name. Every sip feels like a private tasting. |
|
|
|
|
|
| With panoramic ocean views by day and a dance floor that comes alive at night, the Sky Lounge is equal parts tranquility and twang. Think of it as what happens when Nashville meets Vegas and says, “Let’s party.” |
|
|
|
|
|
| If you’ve ever dreamed of sipping something smooth while brushing shoulders with a crowd that looks like they’re headed to the Grand Ole Opry, this is your spot. The Ensemble Lounge is tailor-made for a pre-dinner bourbon or a post-show nightcap, all set to live music and a vibe that says, “we clean up real nice.” |
|
|
|
|
|
| This place is a showstopper. The bartenders don’t just make drinks — they perform them. Perched on an ice-topped bar and backed by a wall of vodka that would make Moscow blush, this is where your night kicks into gear, shaken or stirred. |
