Royal Caribbean has revamped its fleet-wide drink menu.
The base menu for cocktails, low-alcohol, and zero-proof drinks has been updated across all 29 of its ships, placing a greater emphasis on non-alcoholic beverages. It was introduced on Star of the Seas during a special media preview on August 7, 2025.
Your favorite vacation cocktails, such as piña coladas, daiquiris, and mojitos, are still available. However, this menu refresh introduces a wider variety of craft cocktails and mocktails for those who might be interested in trying something different.
This new menu will be available at all bars and lounges that don't have a specialized menu of their own, including the Schooner Bar, Boleros, and the Viking Crown Lounge.
The biggest change is a greater emphasis on non-alcoholic drinks. This isn't necessarily a new trend. When Icon of the Seas launched in 2024, the cruise line crafted a dedicated menu for zero-proof drinks. And no, they are not just virgin versions of cocktails.
"We really took the time to curate them as standalone drinks without alcohol and really look at blending flavors that work together versus a stock virgin daiquiri that is just an alcoholic drink we’ve taken the alcohol out of. We didn’t even consider putting alcohol in these as we put them together," said Ed Eiswirth, Royal Caribbean's Director of Beverage Operations.
You'll still find the basics like soda, energy drinks, juice, and water, but the refreshed menu also features more handcrafted zero-proof beverages:
- Mule Kickback
- Espresso No-Tini
- Peach Perfect
- Lush Life
- Mai Spice
Whether you're sober or simply want to limit your alcohol intake, these new drinks can be great alternatives without feeling like you're restricting yourself:
- Yuzu Sunrise
- All Aboard Spritz
- Watermelon Mint Lemonade
- Passionista
- Crave the Wave
- Coconut Lime Refresher
- Tropical Crush
- Passion Starlight
- Tiger's Tale
- Berry Press
- Berry Necessary
Additionally, there's more than one non-alcoholic beer and wine. There are also four Blind Tiger spirit-free sparkling mocktails: Lavender French 75, Side Car Mimosa, and Southside Mogito.
The same "Taste of the Caribbean" drinks are available, including the Painkiller, Dark 'N Stormy, Goombay Smash, Planter's Punch, Papa Jac, and Rum Punch.
Although the drinks remain the same, the menu features a refreshed design; the map-inspired layout wasn't completely replaced.
The "Light & Lively" drinks include:
