If you call Royal Caribbean and tell them that the other person in your room doesn’t want to purchase the deluxe drink package and give them some excuse(they don’t drink/to much money) they will give you and exemption they just have to purchase the refreshments package.

I would be buying the soda package for my cruise. So I subtract the $10 soda package price from the deluxe price and that means even less alcoholic drinks that need to be purchased. Which makes even more sense to buy the deluxe. Especially when the base price is $52 on sale. So $52-$10=4 cocktails. Ya I can do that. Great video.

I purchased the drink package and it was worth it. I had my Starbucks every morning, bottles of water during the day and lots of adult beverages. Just be careful not to drink to much. Btw my mother did not have to purchase the package, because is prescribed medication in which she couldn’t drink any alcohol, I thank RC for not charging her. It was worth the money.

They have the ultimate unlimited drink package that was $165 for a 5 day -4 night cruise on enchantment of the seas and included everthing. The only restriction was you could only get 1 drink every 10 mins. It was well worth it.

Me and my wife got the deluxe drink package for 20% off for our New Years cruise. It was so worth it not having to worry about a surprise bill at the end of the cruise. Plus we were able to sample many drinks and if we didn’t like it we moved onto something else. We are wine drinkers so we had a couple of glasses at lunch and dinner. Then a couple of nice fruity drinks in between. Toss in our bottles of water and coffee we ended up getting our monies worth.

Very nice video. You really presented the information well. Great transitions! What many people fail to factor in is port days, etc. I’ve found when we spend most of the day ashore we can’t hit that breakeven number. The same holds for longer cruises, as time passes we’ve found we drink less. We did an experiment in which we did not get the drink package but ordered as many as we wanted, even experimented with unknown drinks. As a result we found we still saved money.... my son, on the other hand, got his monies worth. Happy Cruising!

If you watch ur cruise planner you can get it for as low as $43 for longer cruises to $46 for short cruises per person per day. Starbucks is included as well as red bulls

Few things - Going on the Harmony is the Sead in November for 7 days. The drink package was $46 per day and the total service charge was $56. Came out to be $54 per day with service fees and taxes.

Also, not every adult needs the package. Its listed in the website that there are exclusions. For example, AA member, pregnant adult, they even state "for other reasons". You just need to call customer service.

I'd be drunk as a skunk with this package!

Great info guys!
Ill be taking my 14th cruise this fall(Oct 2019) and I have never purchased the drink package. Unless you're a hard core drinker, I wouldnt do it. I know 6 beers or 4 glasses of wine doesn't seem like a lot but it really is. Most people are counting on the idea that they'll be up very earl and drink from sun up to sun down but that isn't the case. During a cruise, most folks dont even get up until 11am or noon. Assuming you're on a 7 day cruise if you think you're going to "pound" 7-10 alcoholic drinks per day for 7 days you are highly mistaken. Remember, the drink package is for every day of the cruise and is non refundable. What if you get sick in the middle of the cruise? Yes folks, this happens a lot because most people over due it on the first night. Then they spend day 2 and 3 recovering. lol What I would suggest is purchase a case of water and soda, to be delivered to your cabin before your cruise. Pace your self with the alcoholic drinks through out the day. I usually have 4-6 drinks a day and I usually skip one or two days because Im not a heavy drinker. Folks, its a long cruise and being 'hung-over' for a week is not a good feeling especially when you're on a moving ship.

Drink pacakges are a rip off to me. My husband drinks but I do not therefore, we are FORCED to purchase two drink packages at the same rate. RC needs to make this adjustment. Not everyone wants to be decitful by sharing.

[jamesnunez]

One cruise took ( before the drink package we're available ). 7 day tab 750 one person. Don't judge me 🤪. I was on vacation. 🤪. Luv yall’s videos. 👍

[Alastair]

Thank you Ben and David!
My GF and I are going our first RC cruise and we’re learning a ton from you guys. Keep them coming.

[mavisness_]

As you said, really looking forward to making my way through the 🍸🍹 menu and sampling drinks I wouldn't normally lean towards.

[ganoking]

Heading out on 26th for Eastern Caribbean Cruise. If I`m not mistaken there is an 18% gratuity as well that I did not hear you mention. And yes they have sales as we got buy 1 get the other 50% off.

[Scott-vcez]

On some ships Royal Caribbean is now offering a shareable 10 drink card for around $79. They don’t offer it the first day but usually around the third day they will offer it.

[jaredfarmer]

It’s nothing to go through 7+beers a day plus 3-4 bottles of water. Plus coffe in the Am the drink package is worth it

A Coke employ tells me that the pipe lines inside those drink dispenser machines are always ultra dirt. He advises me to get cans or bottles

[josecatalan]

Just a heads up. Beverages above the retail price of $13 are included in the deluxe. You just need to pay the difference above $13 :)
