Royal Caribbean Drink Package Pros & Cons

Editorial Summary

The creator evaluates the value of Royal Caribbean's unlimited drink packages by examining several advantages and disadvantages. On the positive side, the packages offer unlimited consumption of various beverages including alcohol, premium coffees, and bottled water. They provide convenience by being usable in most onboard locations and at private destinations like CocoCay. Additionally, the packages allow travelers to cap their beverage expenses and can be purchased in advance to secure discounts. A souvenir cup is also included with the purchase. Conversely, the creator notes that guests might feel pressured to drink more than they desire just to break even on the investment. The high upfront cost can be a significant financial burden, and the benefits do not extend to most land-based ports of call. Furthermore, loyal Crown and Anchor society members may already receive complimentary drinks, making a package unnecessary for some. Ultimately, the creator concludes that the decision is highly personal and depends on individual drinking habits. He recommends purchasing packages through the cruise planner before sailing to save money, but notes that guests can also wait until the cruise begins to see if the package suits their needs.
