Rach0878 Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 I am considering purchasing a drink package for me and my husband. We are going on the perfect day cruise next August. Is it possible to purchase one drink package and that person can get two drinks at a time? We do drink but not heavily. We’d like to be able to have some drinks at the pool but don’t want to have to purchase two drink packages to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marti314 Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 No, each person in the stateroom need to buy the DELUXE drink package and if you opt for just the refreshment (both do not need to get this one) there is absolutely no sharing of package perks allowed. It would be the same as going to say FOGO de Chao and saying "Can i just pay for one person and share the meat, we dont each dont eat very much". The answer will be a definite no and ive seen people on the cruises sharing and they are the lucky recipient of their package being cancelled and they get to pay full price for every drink they had consumed to that point.

Not only is the sharing of packages not allowed, but you can only get one drink at a time even with the package. If you don't think you will get value with the drink package, then just pay for the drinks a la carte. Or like suggested above, one person can get the deluxe and the other gets the refreshment.

Rach0878 Posted August 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Ok so if I purchase a refreshment package for the kids they also need to have their own? We have 4 kids this is going to get pricey!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marti314 Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 One thing to note and ROYAL does a poor job of communicating this. You can buy drinks al a carte without a drink package. They have gotten pretty pricey these days, one frozen drink is going to run you close to 16.00 now after mandatory gratuity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend just drinking the free drinks on the ship and i promise you will enjoy your cruise just the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marti314 Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 They also have orange juice and apple juice in the mornings. There is ICE water at almost every single bar on the entire ship with cups right next to it. I found the water to taste great. If you are going to fill up a YETI or RTIC just be sure to pour the water into the provided cups first then dump it in to your container.

Thom Cruise Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Rach, you can bring your own soft drinks on board as well. You really don't want your kids just guzzling sugar drinks all day, helping themselves to the machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marti314 Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 You are allowed to bring up to 12 bottles / cans of anything non alcoholic with each being up to 17 fluid ounces. With that being said I saw one couple with a dolly hauling 3 cases of water onboard 2 weeks ago when boarding liberty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is per cabin so if you have two cabins you can double it. Also allowed to bring two bottles of wine per stateroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We take these for the kiddies. They don't drink soda very often, if at all, they like the lemonade at in the dining rooms at meals (milk at dinner) - and we use these type of flavorings to mix it up a bit. We do get the drink package for us, and we do let the kids have a few mocktails - but we pay out of pocket for those. USCG Teacher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
