17 Royal Caribbean Drink Package Tips! (2023)

You have paid the deposit on your Royal Caribbean cruise and are officially in cruise countdown mode! You can now start daydreaming about waking up to specialty coffees each morning, lounging by the pool with your drink of choice in hand, and cooling down with a soda or bottled water after an adventurous day in port.
Of course, Royal Caribbean is not an all-inclusive cruise line, meaning that if you want to indulge in cocktails and certain non-alcohol drinks, you will either have to pay for each individually or purchase a drink package, which will allow you to enjoy unlimited beverages each day of your cruise for a fixed price.
How much do drinks cost a la carte? What are your package options? Do they have any restrictions? Will you actually save money if you opt to splurge on a package? There is a lot to consider, and you deserve to relax on your cruise, not stress about how much money you are spending on drinks.
Here are 17 tips that will help you decide whether or not you should get a Royal Caribbean drink package for your next cruise.

    Growing up we’d go on the most discounted cruise we could find as a family. And my mom would get me the drink package and I would be in charge of running to the bar back and forth getting everybody a drink because you can only order one at a time. And I was happy to do it cause it meant I got unlimited soda and mocktails lol Now I’m grown up and going on my first cruise with my little family and I’m going to do the same thing and can’t wait!

    My husband and I went on our first cruise this year and loved it so much that we booked to go again next year. I always heard about the alcoholic beverage package but not the non alcoholic one. Neither of us drink so I’m ecstatic about the refreshment package. I took advantage of the Black Friday deal today and went ahead and reserved it. I can’t wait for endless mocktails😋

    I've noticed that the deluxe beverage package price often is lower per day than on shorter cruises. When you take a cruise of 8 nights or more, we've gotten it in the $48 dollar range on sale. It means it's very easy to get get our moneys worth with just 2 drinks a day when we get the other alcohol free beverages.

    As a diamond we get 4 free drinks a day each . If we want more we just purchase per drink. Last cruise I think it added up to be 10 extra drinks for the week.

    Yes you can share drinks as you both have a package. Also if you take both cards to the bar by yourself, you can get two drinks for each visit. Just don't share with another passenger.

    Although more expensive than most, and so maybe not a cost effective, I can easily drink 10 drinks in a day. It may sound a lot, but when you start off with 2 glasses of wine at lunch and 3 glasses at dinner, that's only 5 drinks for the rest of the day and night.

    @@305jakec Probably. I guess it depends on the ports. When I did St Petersburg in Russia, no (still probably had 5 or 6). That’s because the tours were all day and only got back just before dinner. When I did Bergen for the third time, yes. There was only one thing left I really wanted to see which was the funicular, so I was only off the ship for a couple of hours. The drink package for the line I usually cruise with is only about $25 a day. So after 3 drinks I’ve gotten my money worth.

    18% for every drink - water, soda, mocktail, cocktail, beer or wine. If you buy a package that is added to the cost and charged up front. So no $ at all during the cruise if you abide by the package limits ($14). Its all in the video
