Would you pay $100 per day for a drink package?
The unlimited drink package is one of the most popular add-ons for a Royal Caribbean cruise, but prices are now consistently over $100 per day, per person.
While the cruise line does use dynamic pricing—meaning costs vary depending on the sailing—our team has consistently seen triple-digit prices.
Royal Caribbean's Deluxe Beverage Package includes almost every drink served onboard, from fruity cocktails, to beer, some wines by the glass, premium coffees, sodas, smoothies, bottled water, sports drinks, milkshakes, and freshly squeezed juice.
