RCCL Updates Drink Packages
Thank you Royal Caribbean for reducing your beverage package options from seven to four. New packages went into effect September 6 and all pricing is exclusive of gratuities. The only package that has not changed is the Classic Soda Package with souvenir cup and unlimited soda refills. Prices for this package vary by length of cruise. The Evian Bottled Water package has been adjusted to two options: 12- ($39) or 24-bottle ($69) varieties. The remaining two new packages are the Refreshment and Deluxe Beverage packages. The Refreshment package ($26/day) includes premium coffees and teas, bottled still and sparkling water, juice, non-alcoholic cocktails, and all sodas. The Deluxe Beverage package ($55/day) is the most inclusive option and features everything in the Refreshment packages, as well as all cocktails, spirits, wines and beers priced at up to $12 (for drinks over $12, a $12 credit will be applied to the price of the drink.) Also included are a 40 percent discount on bottled wines prices up to $100 and a 20 percent discount on wines priced over $100. Previously, the least expensive beverage package to include alcohol cost $39 per day. Passengers who have purchased one of the older drink packages will either have their purchased honored (the Select package) or upgraded to the new Deluxe Beverage package for no additional cost (the Premium and Ultimate packages). All purchased Replenish packages will be converted to Refreshment packages.
