I’m a lot like Royal Caribbean, my package also works everywhere. 😊

On my Norwegian cruise in September, I had the deluxe drink package. I went to the steakhouse for our specialty dinner, and tried a glass of a 30-year-old bottle of wine, and it was included in the package! Totally worth it! And I got to try some thing that I never thought I would be able to!

Your vacation starts at the pier. For God's sake get a passport and get your children passports. Yes, you can sail with other documents, but it slows you and everyone behind you down. Fully complete your online check in. Upload pictures and required documents. Print every document you can, do not rely on your phone. Put your vaccination card in your passport and have your test results in hand. We want to get you from car to bar n 10 minutes, but it's up to you.

I have a 4 day cruise with a day in the Bahamas, RC is asking for $675. I'm good.

Thanks for the information. We will be onboard our first RC cruise in late DEC and were wondering about the deluxe package as we've never purchased on when we were on Carnival or Holland as they were expensive. RC had a promotion and I was able to get the deluxe package for $53 per person so my wife and I decided to go for it since we will consume plenty of coffee, water, wine and beer to justify it at that price...

The thing that was not said here is that with all of these packages. You do not need to keep carrying the plastic souvenir cup around with you. Most cruisers don't use them at all, but the kids will. Just show you cruise card at the bar and your good to go and you get your drink in a normal glass.

This is why I don’t like cruising I prefer all inclusive resort like punta Cana you don’t have to paid any drink packet....

[wolkowicki]

wish they had a deal that was beer and not all the other stuff or a cocktail deal without all the coffee and teas that was cheaper.

[DazDaz]

For a couple the current price is £170 per DAY. Absolutely ridiculous. What would be great is if they offered a package for those who only want to drink beer and wine.

Hi, I am about to purchase the deluxe drink package for a December sailing. The fine print of the deluxe package says "package includes single beverages with a value up to 13$", the fineprint is dated 2022. However currently all the cocktails and mixed drinks on this sailing are 14$. Will that mean almost no drinks will be covered? or do you think the fineprint has not been updated.

When I bought drink package on the ship we also did not have to buy it for the whole stateroom

Tell Royal Caribbean you are diabetic or your religion does not allow alcoholic beverages and they will more or less be forced to waive the everyone in the room requirement for the drink package My wife drinks and I'm ready and willing to pay the fee for the drink package but does that mean they have to ram it down my throat also a person who has maybe one or two beers per day because I am diabetic they can't force you to prove your medical condition or your religious affiliation so just say your religion does not allow alcohol but your wife is a different religion and she would like alcohol etc

[davidedwards]

Does the refreshment package include milkshakes from Johnny Rockets.

[tiddlesa.]

Hubby & I are Diamond so we get 4 free alcoholic drinks per day EACH. He doesn’t drink much and I hate to see a good champagne go to waste.

[robertom.]

If I purchase the classic soda package, do I have to always get the drinks by myself from the vending machines or I can get free sodas in any bar or restaurant? And for dinner too? Thank you in advance

[Cleo-ixkd]

They are crazy priced. You gotta be nuts to pay what they are asking. As of now it $750 for me and my partner. 3 day cruise

[jasondelprado]

Does the refreshments package include Red Bull?

[paulalonzo]

I think it is unethical and dirty pool the Royal Caribbean will not quote you the unlimited drink package until after you purchase the cruise it makes it impossible to comparison shop with other cruise lines also here's a little tidbit since they treat me unfairly and made me check the computer every day because they change the price every day on the unlimited drink package I think that's a joke so here's a little tidbit of info if you tell Royal Caribbean you are our diabetic or your religion does not allow you to drink alcohol they cannot force you to buy a drink package for everyone in your cabin my wife enjoys alcoholic beverages I truly am diabetic and cannot drink alcohol packages they waived the requirement for everyone in the cabin to buy one I believe it might be unethical to say your diabetic or religious when you're not but it's also unethical to not quote prices until after you've purchased the cruise and to change the price on an almost daily basis you have to fight fire with fire

[trotcar]

Don't share. Uh... sure ok buddy.

[johniboz]

It cost me $8.75 for a 12 oz can of Miller lite! What a rip off!
