The video outlines the three primary options: the Deluxe beverage package for alcohol lovers, the Royal refreshment package for non-alcoholic preferences, and the classic soda package. To assist with decision making, the creator suggests calculating daily consumption, noting that the Deluxe package typically requires drinking more than five to six beverages per day to break even. The guide covers various logistical details, including the ability to pre-purchase packages through the online Cruise Planner for potential savings and the strict rule that all adults in a stateroom must purchase the alcoholic package if one person does.

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
