Royal Caribbean Details Cruise Drink Package Options

Royal Caribbean offers several drink packages designed to enhance a cruise experience by allowing passengers to pre-pay for beverages. These packages aim to simplify vacation budgeting and decision-making by providing a set cost for drinks. The cruise line offers a range of options, including a basic Water Package and more comprehensive plans that cover a wide array of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

Beyond the Water Package, which is priced based on volume, other drink packages are charged on a per-person, per-day basis. All beverage packages include gratuities, but none extend to room service or minibar purchases. The availability of the unlimited alcoholic beverage package can also vary by itinerary. Passengers should note that Starbucks cafes on board and drinks served in souvenir glassware are typically excluded from these packages, unless specific conditions apply, such as using a Classic Soda Package souvenir cup.

Before purchasing a drink package, it is beneficial to understand what beverages are already included with the standard cruise fare. Royal Caribbean provides complimentary access to ice water, flavored waters, brewed coffee, assorted teas, iced tea, hot chocolate, milk, lemonade, and fruit juices. These complimentary drinks are available in dining rooms, restaurants, and self-serve stations within venues like the Windjammer Cafe.
