Royal Caribbean Drink Package Review

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Morgan from the Very Unofficial Travel Guides evaluates the Royal Caribbean all-inclusive drink packages to help travelers determine if they are worth the cost. The creator explains that while basic beverages like water, iced tea, and lemonade are free on most major cruise lines, specialty items like soda, beer, and cocktails require additional payment. The video focuses on two specific options: the Select package and the Premium package. The Select package costs $35 per day and requires all cabin members to participate. It includes beer, wine by the glass up to $8, and non-alcoholic cocktails. Morgan notes that to find value in this package, travelers must consider how much they drink once they return to the ship in the late afternoon. The Premium package costs $49 per day and adds cocktails and wine up to $12, along with bottled water. The creator expresses skepticism regarding the Premium package, noting that the average cocktail price is around $9 and that bottled water is available for free elsewhere on the ship. Ultimately, the creator suggests that those who only drink moderately may find it more economical to pay for individual drinks rather than purchasing a package.

Creator's Key Takeaways
I've usually spent way less than that and still had a really good time
bottled water which I personally think is a huge ripoff
you're going to have to drink six or seven beers every night in order to get value out of this package
Royal Caribbean has changed the rules and it is no longer required that everyone in the cabin purchases the drink package
