Creator's Key Takeaways
Royal Caribbean just announced that starting March 15th, the Coca-Cola Freestyle souvenir cup will no longer be included with the Deluxe beverage or refreshment packages.
If one adult in your stateroom buys the Deluxe beverage package, every other adult in that same cabin must buy it, too.
The single best thing you can do is buy before your cruise.
It's not purely about breaking even, it's about getting on that ship, being on holiday, and never once thinking about the price of a drink.
