Happy Sunday! It has been a busy week of Royal Caribbean news, and we have it all summarized for you in this round up.
A lot of Royal Caribbean fans had an opinion on the change this week to the rules for purchasing an unlimited alcohol package on future Royal Caribbean cruises.
Royal Caribbean now requires if one adult purchases an unlimited alcohol package, for all adults in the same stateroom to purchase an unlimited alcohol package too.
This policy change matches what other cruise lines have required for years. The change appears to apply to many sailings beginning in late 2017.
There are, however, a number of exemptions to this rule, which simply requires a phone call to get the restriction removed.
