Deluxe Drink Package- Yay or Nay?

[Herman Hinkelstein]

I just reached emerald and am nearly a diamond level cruiser here . Now that I will soon be getting 4 drinks/day? Is the Deluxe Bev Package worth it? I ask you all my fellow RC cruising friends! I am a moderate drinker. A vitality pressed juice in the morning 4-8 drinks/day depending on seaday vs port, a fine or with dinner . 
‘thank you for your input !

We are nearing diamond here ourselves and making the same debate, but we still have some time

I never purchased the deluxe drink pkg before anyway. I used to get just the refreshment pkg now just the soda pkg.

Thank you @Jolly Ogre and @Brenna! I think I will probably test both and see what is best. A lot to consider!

I’m still not sure you understand that your “level” here has absolutely nothing to do with your level on Royal Caribbean.  Reaching Diamond on these boards does not get you free drinks on a cruise.

@Pooch my great friend, I am not sure if you even know that a pinnacle, like yourself, actually gets SIX drinks per day! That is in addition to MANY other benefits and privileges! This is why I am trying to continue my meteoric rise through the ranks that is, quite frankly, without precedent. I appreciate your help in explaining things to me. Onboard or on these boards…it’s just semantics. My hope is that we can discuss this confusion over a   tiki cocktail in the pesky parrot !

Be well my new friend!

I showed the Coastal Kitchen hostess my recently achieved Pinnacle status on Royal Caribbean blog and was swiftly escorted…..to the Windjammer.

Don't try.

@OCSC Mike @Pooch You two got a lot of nerve calling me that name when I have been nothing but kind to you both and offered you friendship and free drinks. Typical know it all elitist mentality, but fine by me. More free drinks and fun for me. Sorry if I don’t understand things the same as you. My experience in life probably isn’t the same as yours, I struggle with many things most take for granted, but I try and look at the world as all of us being more alike then different, even considering my disposition. 
‘anyways I hope you both are well today and still consider you guys my forum buddies

That’s very kind of them to escort you, what a wonderful memory that must have been .. thank you for sharing @AlmondFarmer  Have a blessed day

@Herman Hinkelstein…as others have already tried to explain to you in various posts, the ranks here, while they have the same name, have nothing to do with your Crown & Anchor status on a cruise. The ranks here are simply a fun little thing that @Matt created here a few years ago. This message board and Royal Caribbean Blog are not linked to your actual C&A status at all. You will only get free drinks with your actual C&A status with the cruise line. It has nothing to do with who you are here. Those you see as “Pinnacle members” here simply means that we have been around in this community for a long time, and have interacted with many others. That is not our actual status when we sail with Royal Caribbean. I am going to lock this thread down as it may be confusing to some and it’s not going in a very constructive direction.
