How much is a Royal Caribbean Drink Package?

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides a guide on how to navigate the pricing of Royal Caribbean drink packages to ensure maximum value. He explains that pricing is variable and depends on factors such as the ship, the sailing date, and seasonal demand. For the deluxe beverage package, he suggests that a price below $70 per person per day is a good value, while prices in the $50 range are considered excellent. He notes that the deluxe package is subject to an additional 18 percent mandatory gratuity. To secure these lower rates, the creator advises against waiting to purchase packages once onboard the ship, as onboard prices are significantly higher. Instead, he recommends booking early and checking for sales periodically through the Royal Caribbean app or during major holidays. He also suggests a strategy of booking a good price immediately and then canceling and rebooking if an even lower price appears, noting that these add-ons are fully refundable before sailing. Finally, he mentions that loyalty members and senior citizens may be eligible for even better pricing tiers.
