The International Cruise Victims Association, a non-profit group formed by victims and families of victims of cruise crimes, slammed Royal Caribbean in a recent article for offering prepaid drink packages. ICV strongly condemns Royal Caribbean for promoting the consumption of alcohol on their ships by offering unlimited drinks for one price.
ICV has sent its unhappiness with the package directly to Royal Caribbean's board of directors with the hopes the company will change its policy.
Royal Caribbean Chairman Richard Fainhas characterized the all-you-can-drink packages as "hugely successful." Fain also has said about rhe packages, "It's very dramatic how much people like buying the drinks package, for example, and not have to worry about that." The idea is to give the passenger "a more customized all-inclusive experience."
