Creator's Key Takeaways

This is not a new rule. This is actually a rule that Royal Caribbean has always had, but they are starting to enforce it.

As of August 1st, everyone in the room that's 21 years or older has to have the deluxe beverage package if one person wants it or nobody gets it and you pay for your drinks all a cart.

And when we can't play nice and have nice things, they get taken away from us.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you're used to buying the drink package for everyone that's 21 plus in your room, great.
If you were used to the older way where you were able to kind of circumvent the rules, this may affect you in your future cruises.
