Free juice for breakfast. Some ships have flavored water (our favorite free beverage) but it varies greatly and can appear and disappear during the same cruise. They have it on CocoCay as well. tingtang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 What drinks are included with your Royal Caribbean cruise? tingtang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordell1 Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 The 928 is definitely closer to normal for a 7 day cruise. Whether it is expensive really depends on how much you expect to drink on the cruise. There are plenty of non-alcoholic drinks available if you choose not to do a package.

smokeybandit Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 And you can always just buy a drink if you want one tingtang, teddy, Ryan79 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 If I recall correctly, last year during the restart of cruising from the UK they were offering beverage package deals below the standard price. So that is probably the reason it seems so much more expensive. Jill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a light drinker, maybe 1-2 drinks a day if I push it. And a drink pkg for Ms tingtang who doesn't drink would be a total waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid 51 usd for my cruise which wasn't that bad, for next cruise it was showing as 91 usd per day, however it is on sale right now for 71usd which at todays exchange rate is £954. 954 ÷ 2 guests is £477 pp for 7 day cruise or £68 per day, so roughly 6 -7 alcoholic drinks before breakfast sorry i mean per day to break even.

Jolly Ogre Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 I never get the deluxe beverage package... I just get the refreshment package so I get everything but alcohol for about $20 per day and just buy the booze ala cart. Saves a lot of $$ that way... even more so now that the wife and I are Diamond. teddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Yes the UK had £40 drink packages last year. My guess that was to get people back onboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorCruiser Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 No deals anymore for the DBP. Royal is pressing hard to recoup their lost dough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
