Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm going to break down for you the situation and then give you the cost comparison and I'm going to do a final analysis where I'll let you know where I fall

So the total amount that we spent for beverages on Mariner of the Seas, when you add that to the $330 we already paid for the refreshment package is $484 total

So, in my final analysis, the refreshment package plus paying for the alcohol did seem to be worth it for us

It wouldn't have been worth it to pay an extra $188 for Mo to have a deluxe beverage package that he wouldn't have been able to really make full use of

Creator's Tips & Advice

Always consult the Royal Caribbean website for the latest drink package policies
Consider the hassle factor of signing receipts for each drink when choosing packages
Evaluate your non-alcoholic beverage consumption to determine if the refreshment package makes sense
