7 Tips To SAVE on Royal Caribbean DRINK PACKAGE in 2026

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a guide on how to navigate and save money on Royal Caribbean drink packages. The video begins by distinguishing between the deluxe beverage, refreshment, and classic soda packages. The creator explains that because of dynamic pricing, travelers should focus on the final daily rate rather than percentage discounts. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are identified as the best times to purchase, though booking early is recommended because packages are fully refundable. The creator warns that an old strategy of waiting to buy packages once onboard no longer works as they are now only sold on day one. To save money, the creator suggests several strategies including booking adults into separate cabins to avoid mandatory packages for non-drinkers, requesting medical or religious exceptions, and using the refreshment package to create DIY cocktails by adding shots. Other tips include looking for Wi-Fi bundles, utilizing loyalty discounts for Diamond and Platinum members, and using the coffee package for those who prefer caffeine over alcohol. Finally, the creator notes that gratuities are included in the upfront cost and advises that a package is generally worth the investment only if a guest consumes five to six drinks per day.
