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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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. 👍

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.

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

Ohhhhhh, i'm definitely gonna get my money's worth in September on the Anthem. 😉

Perfect video!! THANK YOU!! Love to hear about Spectrum when you go! Beth

Thanks for the videos guys. Love your content and trying to get our own channel going. Got the glitch ($18 p/day) for our Freedom of the Seas cruise in April 2020!!! First time Royal and your videos have helped us a lot!!!! Thank you!!

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

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 :)

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.

Brilliant video, I'm new to this and this explained it nicely.

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

Thanks guys for that info very useful. We drink around 3 or 4 lattes a day several bottle water and fresh juice. Last cruise on oasis had the deluxe drinks well worth it for us would not say we were big alcohol drinkers but made it easy to have cocktails or a beer whenever I wanted on.

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.

Thankfully got the deluxe drinks package as part of the cruise booking on Allure

Excellent, just in time for my cruise on Harmony of the Seas. Very helpful!

well done guys, excellent info

This video was very helpful! My husband and I are going on our first cruise this April.

Thanks Ben&David For sharing these great vlogs👍🏻 looking forward to more on Spectrum of the Seas!!🚢👍🏻⚓️😎😎

Thank you for the info! Very helpful

Wife and I get the top drink package, peace of mind.......the drink packages do not cover getting a case of water for your room. That sucks. If you’re a smart drinker, you can BEAT THE BOAT and put yourself ahead of the bill for the win each day. There are plenty of places to try great drinks on board. We like to try different drinks on the boat. We order things we’d normally never try but, they’re paid for already so...might as well! Water, water, water...I can drink 5-8 waters a day myself and if I am working out, walking around a lot....I can kill off a gallon or so no problem. Drink package takes care of any worry. If I drink with the wife, we can go with piña coladas and island drinks pretty much all day, maybe a beer or wine or two with dinner as well as hit the Coke machine a few times and there’s no worry at all. The days you’re on shore, the first day and last day are the harder days to beat the boat but, it can be done!

I would have to do it day on day off because hangovers.

THANK YOUUU for this video !!! Extremely useful !

CRUISE WITH BEN AND DAVID 🛳 please make a video of ZOOM INTERNET PACKAGES 2019 please please please please please cause this is so detailed KEEP THE GOOD WORK!

Sometimes I jus want a shot along with my drink as I actually enjoy the taste of certain Tequilas. So if I want a Teq Sunrise and a shot of patron can I get that at once?

Thanks for the help guys, I think I would definitely get my money’s worth

This is so helpful, thank you!

I have bought a deluxe beverage package for 3 nights rhapsody of the seas cruise

I always wait to book when the all inclusive drinks package and WiFi are included within cruise price, bingo

Omg! You’re going on Spectrum in April! I’ll see you there ❤️ check in day today 👌🏻

Just purchased at $65. Sailing Sunday and fully intend on getting more than my money's worth.

Just spoke to royal carribean and was told if you bought it mid trip with 8 days left you had to pay for full 11 day trip

I found a hack for the deluxe package. If you buy the package on the boat, the other party in your cabin won’t have to buy the package. Either way, I still don’t think it’s worth it.

Oh so helpful!!

I am going on my first cruise this year. Me and my SO bought a non alcoholic drinking package I am wondering if on Royal there are also some mock tails.

Perfect! So glad I found you guys. New subscriber and already found such helpful information!

Brilliant information..Thanks chaps

My record is 22 shots and 9 beers in one day, and all of the money that I “Saved” was spent on Rolaids and Tums.

I’m soooo please I’ve just paid £37.50 per person per day or the deluxe drinks package. It’s going to save me a fortune lol

This is timely. I have a friend going on a Royal cruise and she was saying tonight it was confusing and was wondering if it is worth it. I just forwarded it to her

So can I have as much sparkling wine as I want?

Fresh juicex2 each morning, 2 espresso drinks, 2 bottle waters. I could do that by noon. Then if wine is $12.50 a glass I could easily do 4. The problem is my wife can only do half of that.

Norwegian has a better drink package it’s unlimited for the whole entire cruise

Guys, I was looking at booking a cruise for 2022 and it gave me a total price for the main cruise but I did not see a screen/section to book dining/drinks packages, maybe im looking the wrong place......id like to know the full cost of the cruise before I book it.....I know you say the packages prices vary by cruise and time of the year, but id like to know the full total cost before I even book the cruise in the first place.

Thank you 😊

Do both adults have to have the refreshment package, My husband would not benefit from any of the packages.

Yeah man buy one UP PACKAGE AND SHARE 100 DRINKS WITH YOUR WHOLE FAMILY 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I've never seen RC do deals on drink packages I wish they would $325 for a 5 day cruise is insane

Very helpful thank you

What about the evian water package?

I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE A CABIN WITH THESE GUYS

Very helpful!!

You didn't mention that there are several events that give you free drinks!

We'll probably spend $100-$150 between the two of us on a 5 day cruise. If I get the drink package, I'll miss the whole cruise because I'll be drunk the whole time trying to get my money's worth. Then get off the ship heading home hung over.

So I just got off of my first carnival cruise doing their drink package and I've gotta say this one really seems to give you a lot less, not only does it seem to be a tiny more expensive but the drink can only be as premium as $12-$13? Carnival was a minimum price of $25.... I also noticed you guys did not mention, are the spirits and alcohol with the deluxe package unlimited? Carnival cuts you off at 15 per day...

BUMMER ALERT!**Can't break up the days for the drink package. Must pay every day that you are cruising.**

My husband is a soda drinker and I’m a coffee, tea, and bottled water drinker. Does he also have to get the refresher if I do. And does the ship charge your room and extra gratuity for every beverage or do you tip. How does this work?

Is there a reduced price for children on the drink package?

Hi guys, with the refreshments package can you get hot choc, ice choc or ice coffee and milkshakes

Thank you for the information. Sorry, I’m new on cruising. Let say, If I purchase the refreshments package, can I ask for 3 or 4 bottles of water with me on the port days at the same time? (Drink them during the day time when I onshore)

Unfair that you can't purchase Starbucks with the package. That would be my sole reasoning to do so along with my fresh squeezed juices and smoothies.

Hi B and D we are also on spectrum of the seas from Dubai to Singapore so sorry you won't be with us would love to share a drink with ye xx

Is there a drink limit per day? Some ships says you can only have 15 alcoholic beverages every 24 hours

If I’m mostly at port (6 days 5 ports of call) probably best not to get the delux package and the meal plan right?

ROYAL CARIBBEAN doesn't have enough booze on board to make you look like Pamela Anderson, but good luck with that one

On my Carnival cruise in 2017 there was a 24-hr drink limit - I think 15 in a 24 hr period - you also had to wait like 10 or 15 minutes between drink orders - does RC have anything like that in the package rules?

Lol I thought I was the only “Saverio” in the world... 3:46

We get the drinks package so we don’t have to worry about the cost while sailing

Do you happen to know if Starbucks gifts can be used at the Starbuckson board?

perfect timing can use this to convince Sophie to come on the indy p :D

On a quest to watch all of the videos?

I’m going to be on a 7 day and am more like a low to moderate drinker and mostly water. It’s tempting but thing it would be a waste of money for me

If you get the soda package does everyone in your cabin have to get it also?

Are there spots on an RCCL ship to purchase "premium coffee" other than at Starbucks? We will be cruising on the Adventure of the Seas next year and this information could make or break the beverage package decision. Thanks!

It's a bummer that both people that share a room have to buy packages. My wife doesn't drink so it makes no sense to purchase for her just so I can have a drink. I guess if it is a 7 day cruise for eg. then $910 should be enough for one person to get enough booze into them. (or is it???)

You have to drink a lot to get breake even, more even when you spend a lot of time in shore excursions.

Thank you for the videos, I am sailing on independence of the seas in April. Are mudslides, daiquiris etc. drinks like that included in the drink package?

Guys...love all your videos. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the wall behind you! Is it an actual wall or are you using a green screen?

Looking forward to meet ing you on Crouse out of Dubai

Sorry if you mentioned this already, but does the deluxe drink package include gratuities?

I’m a lush I’ll totally get my moneys worth.

Heading on a Mediterranean cruise on RCI with 2 adults and 3 teenagers (18, 18, and 16) for 7 days. Wife and I aren't really that big of on alcoholic beverages. We would likely do the soda package or the package that doesn't include alcohol. My son (18) loves soda and my daughters would likely drink water and/or juice. The wife and I love coffee, smoothies, and shakes as does my son (minus the coffee). Any recommendation on whether a drinks package is better than going ala carte? Thanks.

Can the room service charge be explained? I understand it as being $12.95 per meal. I hope not.

if we only drink juices and coffee then which package suits us. also you mentioned that the package has to be purchased for every adult. what about kids, because our kids will be sharing with us the juices for sure.

Do they have Pepsi on the ship

Is there a limit of drinks per day on alcohol on this package?

with any package, Am i allowed to carry a bottle water to the cabin ?

Hey guys! I will be sailing for the very 1st time on Freedom of the Seas in April. I will not be purchasing the deluxe drink package, so can you give me an idea of an average drink price WITH gratuity? Also, can you pay for each drink using cash?

7 beers a day!
