You can see the price of deluxe beverage package is $77.99 per person per day, less gratuities.

Probably one of the better things about this hack is seeing the beverage/dining packages. Could help decide if UDP would be a good option (and then choosing MTD for seating), and also see what the "base" drink package price is, especially since the Navigator ones seem to be quite higher than a lot of others at $102/day+gratuities on board pricing for all I've seen

I'm totally with you that this is a little too involved and is a bit of a hack, but it does prove the fact that this information is ABLE to be published before booking and is not currently.  

This is amazing.  I know I have a LOT of free time on my hands at work, but this is truly next level sleuthing.

Resourceful. Nice idea.

We're just a bunch of old farts that run out of gas after dinner.....

I qualify as an old fart, but most of my alcohol consumption on cruises happens after dinner.

I was curious myself and now I'll have to put my foot in my mouth because you CAN see current prices for cruise planner items without having to book that cruise or ask someone else.  The downside is that the cruise planner packages need to be available to purchase in order to see the pricing.

It just involves a little URL parameter adjusting.

Here's the base URL for the beverage package page (you can navigate to any page from there as you normally would):

https://www.royalcaribbean.com/account/cruise-planner/category/beverage?bookingId=0000000&shipCode={ShipCode}&sailDate={YYYYMMDD}

Awesome find.

I admire your tenacity and your technical abilities but I doubt the average consumer of RC cruises has your technical knowledge. 

I'll stand by earlier comments.

So let's make this easy. I like easy. 

Here's a cruise planner URL generator I just whipped up in Excel. Enter the sailing date and put an 'X' next to the ship, then click the generated link at the top.

Noticed that without the beverage part of the URL the Royal website wouldn't show the cruise planner. It'd direct you to login instead.
