Is Royal Caribbean's unlimited drink package worth it?

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator examines the value of Royal Caribbean's Deluxe Beverage Package to help travelers decide if the cost is justified. The package includes various beverages such as beer, cocktails, fountain soda, bottled water, and coffee. Because pricing varies by ship and sailing, the creator suggests using math to determine a break even point. Based on an average daily cost, a guest may need to consume between five and eight drinks per day to make the package financially worthwhile. The video highlights several limitations, noting that the package does not cover drinks in souvenir containers or beverages purchased while in port. Additionally, the creator discusses drink fatigue, where guests may feel less inclined to order drinks as the cruise progresses. While the package offers the benefit of trying new drinks without financial risk, the creator concludes that the decision depends on an individual's personal drinking habits and tolerance. Buying the package through the cruise planner before sailing is noted as a more cost effective option than purchasing it onboard.
