Creator's Key Takeaways

So, we're trying to compare and figure out number one, is it worth it, and number two, when exactly is it worth it to purchase?

So, if you want to go ahead and lock it in, but then just keep an eye on it for if it does tend to drop and you could get it for a better price, then you can do that later.

So, for us, if we figure seven cocktails per day, that is our break even.

So, for us, it probably is worth it. Um, but we do have to run this calculation every Royal Caribbean cruise we go on.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Monitor beverage package prices for sales and be ready to cancel and repurchase if the price drops.

✓Consider your itinerary's port intensity and sea days to calculate break-even drink consumption.

✓If you don't drink alcohol, consider the refreshment package instead of the deluxe beverage package.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not knowing if you'll drink enough to break even — Calculate based on an average of seven cocktails per day, plus specialty coffees and bottled water.

Drinking fatigue on longer sailings — Mix in non-alcoholic options like mocktails and specialty coffees to maintain value.
