Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean's deluxe beverage package is the only alcoholic option, and it usually costs between $63 to $100 per person per day, plus 18% service charge for gratuitities.

On average, the deluxe beverage package is only worth it if you drink about 5 to six drinks each day.

If you're caught sharing your drink package, you could potentially get your package revoked with no refund.

The deluxe drink package is truly unlimited.

Creator's Tips & Advice
