Drinks Packages - time limit between drinks?

[KathW]

Is there any time limit between ordering drinks when you have the drinks package? For example you have to wait 30 mins before your next drink? I’ve heard some cruise companies are implementing this... we’re booked on Explorer of the Seas for a Caribbean cruise and just wanted to check. Thanks

I've never experienced this.

Great, I’ve been told P&O are introducing this

Nope! From what I know, they're not paying attention until there is an issue, as in someone acting out.

Some other cruise lines enforce a minimum time limit between drinks and a maximum number per day.  Royal doesn't.  I've seen someone cut-off for the day when they were clearly hammered though.

They aren't supposed to provide a drink if you have an unfinished drink in front of you.  For example you can't order 6 beers in a row to stockpile in your cabin.  There are exceptions such as you order a drink and hate it, then you can slide it back across the bar and request something different.  

Be aware that sharing drinks is expressly forbidden.   If caught sharing they can revoke the package without any refund.

We never had any issue on Liberty last week, the bartenders were happy to give us anything we asked for!  I did order a lemon drop and absolutely hated it so I ordered something else and no issues at all.

There is a time limit on the freestyle machines using the cups. Don’t remember if it was 10 or 15 mins between fills.

@twangster is correct. No time limit, just one drink at a time.

Today I had a drink and then immediately asked to sample another. Bartender told me I had to finish the first drink.
