Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean is not an all-inclusive Cruise Line meaning if you want to indulge in cocktails and certain non-alcoholic drinks you will either have to pay for each individually or purchase a drink package

on average the deluxe beverage package is only worth it if you drink more than five to six drinks each day

you cannot share a single Deluxe beverage package with others to save money if purchasing the deluxe beverage package every guest of legal drinking age sailing in the same stateroom must also have the drink package

if you're caught sharing you could potentially get your package revoked with no refund and that is not what you want to happen on your vacation

Calculate how many drinks you typically consume each day to see if you'll break even on a drink package
