PTS73 Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Question, (First Timer Here) I know most hard liquor drinks seem to cost around 10-12 dollars each... What would a single liquor drink cost? Rum and Coke or Whiskey and Ginger Ale? (I prefer Makers Mark and Ginger Ale personally). Many Thanks!

monorailmedic Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Generally speaking those drinks will still be in the $10-12 range. Makers Mark, with or without the mixer, will probably run $12. Note that oddly, the cost of liquor can vary ship by ship even within the Royal Caribbean fleet. I'm not sure that RCCL distinguishes between a single pour of alcohol and a single pour of alcohol with a mixer - as is reasonably common on shore as well (at least in the US).

arebee Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 I've even had the price different from bar to bar. But 10 to 12 is about average for a call brand. If you went with well brand (Jim Beam I believe) Its about $8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Welcome to Royal Caribbean Blog. You might consider a drink package if you consume at least 5 adult beverages a day. Looking at my upcoming sailings they range from $44-$48 per day. Lots of great info here: http://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2016/05/25/are-royal-caribbeans-unlimited-drink-packages-worth-it Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTS73 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Thanks for the informative replies! Heading out on the Allure next week. If you get the drink package, I'm not a heavy drinker, and decide on ship it's not working...can I cancel and get it prorated money back to my CC?

Matt Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Thanks for the informative replies! Heading out on the Allure next week. If you get the drink package, I'm not a heavy drinker, and decide on ship it's not working...can I cancel and get it prorated money back to my CC? I've heard that's possible, but cannot promise. My expectation would be that it would not be possible. In fact, of the times I've read about it happening, they cancel the package and then charge back every drink individually. Your better bet is to wait to book onboard and after a day or two, buy the package at a pro-rated rate if you find yourself drinking a lot.

DocLC Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 My wife was able to cancel her package on there first day as it was not to her likely and Royal was gracious enough to do so. However, it's at the discretion of the Food and Beverage Manager, so your experience could vary. Matt's advice is best: go a day or two onboard and see if it makes sense based on your consumption as they'll prorate the package for you. The only benefit of booking ahead is obtaining a sale price and breaking up the amount that gets charged to your onboard account.

You don't have to be a heavy drinker to make it worth your while. A specialty coffee in the morning, a pop/soda at lunch, 2 frozen drinks by the pool during the afternoon, and then something around dinner time and you're already ahead at that point. Add in a bottle of water here and there - grabbing one as leave for an excursion for example - and you're golden. DocLC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L454S Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Also remember, buying a $10 drink ends up at $11.80 with the 18% gratuity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
