Editorial Summary

The creators conduct an experiment to determine if the Royal Caribbean Deluxe Beverage Package is cost-effective by tracking their total spending on individual drinks throughout a single day. The package costs $68.99 per person per day and includes unlimited sodas, water, coffee, energy drinks, and alcoholic beverages like cocktails and wine up to $14. The creators document various stops including Johnny Rockets, the Bionic Bar, and several specialty bars to tally the regular menu prices of their orders. They include non-alcoholic items like orange juice and water in their calculations to find the break-even point. By the end of the day, after consuming seventeen drinks, the creators calculate that their total individual spending would have been $123.88 including gratuities. They conclude that the package provided a savings of $54.81 per person and recommend it for travelers who consume multiple different types of drinks daily. They also suggest the refreshment package or soda package as lower-cost alternatives for those who do not consume alcohol.
