DChapetta Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 We have a special needs child and he will be 20 on our first RC cruise next spring but will be 21 for our second RC cruise. He will not, and cannot, drink. Do we still have to pay for him to have the drink package when he is 21 if my spouse and I get it? It would be a complete waste of money for someone how literally cannot use it. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should call royal and explain the situation. Usually they will ask you to buy him the refreshment PKG, but they might make an exception.

AshleyDillo Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 As Jane said, anytime you need to order different packages for all of the adults in the room you have to call up Royal directly to take care of this. Royal's rule is typically they will require the purchase of the refreshment package for the non-drinker which includes everything except the alcohol. They have been known to make occasional exceptions to that for a variety of reasons, but it really depends on who you speak to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true. @DChapetta, when you call, if you don't get the answer you are looking for, keep calling back. I'm pretty sure someone will eventually help you.

We literally have this exact same issue -- our DD has multiple medical issues that prohibits alcohol, and we've gotten the refreshment package for her. I'd prefer the soda package, but she does like her fancy drinks as well, and hot chocolate, so we pay for the refreshment package. You do have to call Royal to order, it won't let you do it online. It's not a huge deal, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
