Royal Caribbean Drink Packages Explained / What Are The Pros And Cons
Today we are breaking down all three Royal Caribbean drink package options. We will talk about what these packages are, what they offer, and if purchasing one of them is right for you. We will also break down the math behind it so you can see what it would take to break even if you decide to purchase one of Royal Caribbean's drink packages. We will tell you what we use to decide whether or not to purchase the drink package and which one makes the most scenes with the best value.

What You Should Know About Silver Dollar City's Harvest Festival
CON: Alcohol causes cancer and a drinks-package makes you drink more. Get the refreshment package.
I got the refreshment package on sale for $23.99/day. I don’t drink much soda - my favorite drink is iced tea, but I do drink specialty coffee and the occasional Diet Coke. I will use the bottled water, the coffee, maybe get a Diet Coke here or there, and I will probably try a few mocktails, so I will likely break even. I do drink a bit, but not much. One of our excursions includes drinks, we’re doing the guacamole class which includes a margarita and I will have a glass of wine here and there. But because of the way I drink not only alcohol but everything else, the drink package isn’t worth more than about $50/day for me.
Ahi se filmo una "soap opera " muy popular in mexico .. " RBD"...
What are interview drinks?
You can get a soda at any bar or restaurant that's inccluded in the soda package. You don't need to stand in line at the machine. I have found ultimate drink packages are often less on longer cruises (over 7 nights) than shorter ones. It's easier to break even. Also cancel and rebook if a better price appears. Anything we pre book has been paid off before we cruise. So no, why did we drink so much at the end of the cruise.
Great video and thank you for adding the point of its not just the alcoholic drinks in the package. I try to tell people all the time it's everything! They seem to think Oh I have to drink so much to make it worth it when if you have a couple of specialty coffees in the morning, a Jonny Rockets Shake, your 4 alcoholic drinks(probably more lol), another coffee in the afternoon, a few water bottles, another coffee with desert at dinner! My mind so worth it! Especially not having to worry about a bill at the end!
My husband does not drink so I purchased him the refreshment package. I was thinking about getting the deluxe refreshment package, but when I try to do it online, it wants me to do it for both of us. Do you know if Royal would allow me to get the deluxe without my husband getting it since he already has the refreshment package? Thanks!
Unfortunately, probably not. Royal Caribbean has a policy requiring all passengers aged 21 and older in the same cabin to purchase the deluxe package if one person does. This rule is specific to the deluxe package and doesn't apply to the other packages. It might be more beneficial to purchase the refreshment package and purchase the alcohol outright. Safe Travels!
You can call RC and request to do one Deluxe and one Refreshment package. Just let them know one does not drink. Whoever you talk to has to get a manager involved to approve it and they will almost always approve it. I've done it. Its just the extra step of calling in.
Yes if you call in and make up an excuse as to why the other person in the room can not drink then they will almost always not require the second person to purchase the deluxe
@@toddtesta5228 yes, thanks for sharing
Excellent
I rode that today aka yesterday day cuz it midnight rn for me we live 4 hours away but we go all the time
What would you say the age demographic skews towards onboard? My wife and i love NCL but wanna find a good secondary cruise line to test
The crowd on this cruise was definitely older. There was a good mix of ages from around the mid-40s and up, but I noticed a particularly high number of people in their 60s and older, more so than on any other cruise line I've been on, except for river cruises.
I'll be going on this ship in January for the 2025 70,000 Tons Of Metal Cruise. This year, it was on the Freedom Of The Seas Ship. It seemed to me that the two ships are nearly the same.
That looks like it would be a fun cruise. Yes, the two ships are very similar. They are both part of the same class of ships in Royals Freedom Class. The Freedom of the Seas is the first ship in that class, so its a little older than the Independence, however it received a remodel in 2020, so it should be in great condition. Enjoy your trip and safe travels!
@take2-travel It is a fun Cruise. Imagine being in a hot tub while watching a live Heavy Metal Concert. Thank you for the information. Thank you for wishing me safe travels.
Thank you guys for your comments and for visiting us. Greetings 👋
We're on the fence about going over for a vacation. Thanks for showing this
It’s beautiful there, but expensive. It’s definitely worth the visit. Safe travels
Какое разноцветье на полянке❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi, are the restaurants air conditioned or are they open?
They had a combination of both. I don’t remember which were air conditioned, but I do remember them having some that were and some that were open air.
Most helpful thanks.
Cabin# ?
I don’t remember for sure, but I think it was 8293.
I came across the room number by accident today, it was 8311. The other room was a friend of ours, but I don't have video of it.
Great video thank you, we’ve just booked our honeymoon here for October. We cannot wait!
Great video! We are booked in a Preferred Ocean View room for late July. Do you know if the resort has laundry facilities available? We want to travel carry on only, and I prefer to travel home with clean clothes.🥴
Thanks! I’m not aware of a laundry facility and I don’t recall seeing one. However, you can send your clothes off to be cleaned, but it does come with an extra charge. Safe travels!
i’m going on july 16
I personally prefer Carnival
The jungle is what sold us on this resort! We have been to more "luxurious" resorts and as beautiful as they are. The unique layout with the jungle worked into the design made this the perfect resort for us.
Great video, I have one question: do they make you buy their insurance or you can be able to go with your own car insurance?
Thanks! No, they don’t require you to purchase theirs. You can deny theirs and use your own car insurance. Some insurance companies won’t cover you outside the mainland US without an additional policy. You might double check with yours just to make sure. Safe travels!
the black sand beaches are one of only beaches sea turtles will crawl onto to bask in the heat of the sun because the sand type absorbs so much heat. It also gets really deep shortly off the beach which they like
The same beach they were born on
One turtle is making sand angels anyway I hope whoever filmed this did turn that Turtle around on its belly because they can't get up from that position poor thing poor thing poor thing
❤🐢
How much $$ were the eye products?
They had several different varieties and prices. They ranged from $50 up. A two year supply of the cream we tried was around $250.
Great information. I had no idea that is how it worked!
So if i understand well, there's no beach at the port that we can go into the water, only shopping or Excursions?
There are no beach areas around the port or near Belize City. The water here is pretty dirty and really not the best for swimming anyway. There are some beaches south of the city that you can take an excursion to or get a taxi. There are also several good beaches on the islands just a short boat ride away from the city.
Is port coral open yet?
It wasn’t when we were there and it still needed a lot of work. From what I’ve heard it still isn’t open yet.
Still not open my upcoming-cruise we're going to tender
This was sooo helpful! Just got off Harmony last Sunday and looking into Wonder.
I can’t find anything on what days it is opened during Christmas. Everyday?
It’s open every day. For 2024 it will begin November 2 and run through December 30. It doesn’t require an extra ticket, just the standard park ticket. So you can go during the day and stay for the lights in the evening.
What night is Asado night?
When we were there it was on Wednesday night, but it is subject to change.
How was the AC in your room? We are coming down in September Prefered rooms.
Ours was great. It cooled the room down quickly and did a good job at maintaining temperature. It’s a nice resort, you should have a great time. Safe travels!
Does the couch convert to a bed?
If you book a room that holds more than two people, then most of them will have a convertible couch or a hideaway bed. The rooms that only hold two people typically have standard couches that do not convert. The room we stayed in only held two people, so the couch was standard.
👍👍👍

Are kids allowed at the preferred pool or it’s adults only?
Yes, kids are allowed.
Royal is dull..boring
Celebrity all in
What private tour company did you use?
We booked all of our excursions through a company called Viator. They offer several excursions using vetted companies. Here is a link to their site. www.viator.com/?pid=P00003870&uid=U00069394&mcid=58086. Safe travels
Good guide to resort!
Been on 7 carnival cruises and always had a blast. There are folks that like to dress fancy as well as those that keep it casual. The crew are ALWAYS friendly and make you feel like family. Food is pretty darn good and the price is great. Never seen an issue with obnoxious behavior but Carnival are professional and I'm sure would deal with it appropriately. I'm looking into Royal just to give something different a try and appreciate your video.
Do you have to buy insurance for rent or a car there how much they charge for insurance there? What a good company to rent thank you.
We rented our Jeep with Blue Bubbles Rentals. We went through a company called Viator to purchase the rental. They also have other companies to choose from. Here is their link. www.viator.com/. As for insurance, it’s always good to have, but not required. The cost will vary depending on the coverage you purchase and how many days you have it rented. Check with your current insurance company because some will cover you without needing to purchase any extra. Also, some travel credit cards will also cover you if you purchase the rental using that card. Hope this helped. Safe travels.
Many terrible experiences. Most importantly I had money stolen from my room and replaced with a fake money! Customer service and the complaint I attempted to make was not taken seriously and unprofessionally handled. The hotel beach was not so clean with too many rocks. Construction can be seen within areas around the property, blocking the ocean views. The room service menu was extremely minimal in options.
Been on both many times, enjoyed MDR and Buffet better on Princess. Like the Princess food choices more. Both service is good.😮
Thanks for the video, I have been on Royal Caribbean but never on Celebrity, sounds like a nice relaxing time, I may prefer it.
Budget is terrible. It seems that is franchised and the owners are not vey honest!
I lived in St. Thomas. You have to be careful with the locals! It’s not a super dangerous island, but it really has an extreme ghetto population who will loudly and without any filters, go at it (verbally and using explicit vulgar language) with one another!! As long as you stay close to the touristic areas, you should be ok. Explore the island, but dont believe those "We are the friendly island people" commercials you see on brochures or on tv! A lot of nice people, but plenty of crime and bad islanders!!! Trust me, I have experienced this first hand time and time again while living there! Such beautiful islands with such bad population!!
