If I have to end up paying $43.50 x 2 for gratuities, I'll never use Royal Caribbean again. I got my own food (buffet) and I got my own refills (drink stations) most of the time on the boat.

Well then, don't give me a final invoice and add extra charges to my credit card days afterwards.

When 2 adults are in the same room (same reservation number) and one purchases the deluxe drink pkg…the other adult also must purchase that pkg unless you call Royal to request a refreshment pkg.  Did you ever look at your Royal app or the cruise planner?  You probably would have noticed.  Also not sure why your family member used your charge card only for your pkg because typically one reservation uses one credit card.  Now…If you were in 2 different rooms then perhaps the family member linked both reservations in order to make purchases for both rooms.  In that case…you really should have paid more attention before the cruise to what you had already purchased.  Not saying your family member is in the “right” here but communication is key when you are traveling with others.  
Seems odd that you would have completed your cruise without ever knowing you had the drink pkg.  It is listed right on your sea pass!
No clue what that $15 charge was for.
Very sorry you encountered this but I would not blame Royal for this!
 
He told me with the drink package that he purchased for me that I could get non alcoholic drinks. He also gave me a sticker to put on my sea pass which says "Royal Replenish." He commented that he was able to get 50% off his package when he also purchased mine (I was charged BEVERAGE PACKAGE 120.36).  The cruise was 4/15- 4/18.  I didn't have internet on the cruise and I didn't realize they had a cheaper drink package. I saw everyone had cups, so I assumed I needed a package for refills? Could I have brought a water bottle from home and kept filling it up with soda?
