Pricing

Drink prices on Celebrity cruises are subject to a 20% gratuity and can vary by ship. Domestic beers are typically $7-$9, while premium beers cost $8-$12. A glass of wine generally ranges from $10-$17, and standard cocktails are $12-$17, with signature and frozen drinks being slightly more expensive at $15-$20+. Non-alcoholic beverages like sodas and bottled water are typically $4-$5, and specialty coffees or smoothies are $5-$10. These prices are for individual purchases, and guests with drink packages can receive discounts or have their drinks included up to a certain price cap.

Attire

Casual attire, such as shorts, t-shirts, or sundresses, is recommended for The Retreat Pool Bar, with swimwear and cover-ups acceptable near pools. Comfortable shoes are advised for open-air areas.

How to reserve

If you choose not to pre-purchase, you can still buy a package on board at any bar or at Guest Relations, typically on embarkation day or within the first few days of the cruise. An important policy to remember is that if one guest purchases an alcoholic beverage package, all other guests of legal drinking age in the same stateroom must also purchase the same alcoholic package or a non-alcoholic one.

How to purchase

Drink packages can be purchased for efficiency and cost savings. The most convenient way to purchase is in advance through the "Cruise Planner" section of the Celebrity Cruises website or app, which is accessible once you have a booking. This often allows you to secure a discounted rate compared to purchasing on board. If your cruise fare is an "All Included" fare, a Classic Drink Package and basic Wi-Fi are already bundled into your booking. You can then choose to upgrade to the Premium Drink Package for an additional cost, which can also be done through the Cruise Planner.

Age restrictions

The Retreat Pool Bar is restricted to guests in The Retreat suites, with no specific age restrictions, but children under 16 must be supervised by an adult. Access is controlled via key card for exclusivity.

Good to know

The Retreat Pool Bar is exclusively for suite guests.
