Thanks for all your helpful videos, one thing about Royal's drink package offers I think people should be aware of....when they say "XX%, buy one get one" etc., when you see "sale prices" it doesn't necessarily mean you are getting a great deal, because it is based on what they say is Full Price which they fiddle with all the time...just pay attention to the price per day and don't be swayed by the marketing tactics.

Great tips especially to make sure the grab the bottle of water to have handy for port days. The Coke freestyle machine is free for anyone to use if you want ice or water. I just found out about this perk earlier this year.
Wow thanks guys... As usual loads of really good information and tips..... Especially loved the bit about stating which brands you’d like your drinks made with. Let’s face it the quality of the drink depends on what’s gone in ! 👍
You can also cancel and rebook in the UK, I did that for our last cruise in August. Saved about £250, by rebooking refreshment drink package and a 2 day shore excursion in Russia!
Great video guys. Very informative and fun. I am not a big experimenter as a rule and usually stick with what I know I like but with the beverage package I try at least 3 drinks that I normally would not.
Thanks guys for the great info. Booked 1st Royal Caribbean cruise this week in Australia for November. How can we keep updated with you guys for when Royal have their drink specials?
Good prices for free drink packages means 25 percent off each package plus 18 percent tip for a 7 day trip is 864 dollars for two plus the cost of the cruise.
can the refreshment package (non alcoholic) be use in the following Johnny rockets express (milk shake , soda pops etc) COFFEE & TEA SHOP (bean and leaf on some ships) LA PATISSERIE Vitality cafe (juice and smoothies) Bionic bars do they serve mocktails ??
We r going in May on Harmony by mistake they advertised $18 per day n many peeps saw it n they had to honor it lol 😂 we did nt so no drink package but we ll check that end of cruise drink package 4 days but I don’t think that ll do that here in states love you 😍🌈🇬🇧🇺🇸
frank rotondo We got the $18 drink package for our Symphony cruise in February 2020! I jumped on it as soon as I saw it & crossed my fingers that RCCL would honor it - which they did. That definitely helped our cruise budget. Enjoy your cruise on Harmony!!
Thanks so much y'all! Question: when are prices lowest to book? Do they often have Black Friday deals either full sailings or for the drink pkg? Thanks again!! Really helpful!
I just booked with Royal for next year and was told they often have a sale on Black Friday/Cyber Monday. Will wait and see. Right now the (already discounted) Deluxe drink package for two, including the 18% gratuity, would cost more than I paid for cruise! How crazy is that? I so wish Royal had more than one (alcohol) drinks package option, like MSC or Costa.
@@ChristianLehrer Yah, their drink pkgs are ridiculous. There's no way my family of three adults would spend $1500 on a 7 day cruise on booze, especially on a Western Med cruise, where I will hardly be on the ship except in the evenings and 1 sea day! I've only ever done NCL before with their "free" bvg package. Not gonna lie, it's nice to freely try all the different drinks, but the cost of the tax of the "free" pkg is about as much as I'd consider paying.

THank you for the information. My husband and I will be using a drink package for the first time and this is great!
Great tips! One tip u didn’t mentioned with refreshment packages, energy drinks and Powerade comes with the packages too! Great to have on port day.

Great video!!! you guys crack me up.
On some sailings from the UK, the price limit is $14 if the service charge has already been added to the price on the menus.
Great tips served with a smile! 😄 I'll try a gay goose, please! Thanks again for the information!

Hello Ben & David, what are the drink package tips for the NCL Cruise line
Hey. We put a video up about the NCL package a few weeks a go.
Great Info. Could you do the same for the Norwegian Joy?
Hey Barbara. We did a NCL drinks package tips video here. It applies to all the NCL ships 🙂 th-cam.com/video/FyfzG_jSlJk/w-d-xo.html
Great information, thanks for sharing😀
Thanks
Great video !!! Good to know!!
Looks tasty 😋
Thanks Colleen. 👍
What places can you get specialty coffees /lattes etc on Royal that are included in the drinks package??
Hey Nicole. It's everything but Starbucks outlets.

Wow what a steal! That's fantastic.

do you have to use the special cup everytime or can you use a wow band?
Seems like a pain to have to carry that cup around all over
To use the Freestyle machines you do. However you can get soda from any of the bars with your band or cruise card.
Is allure of the seas a good ship?
Even in the U.K. you can cancel your drinks package if the price comes down 😀😀
Thanks for letting us know 🙂
It looks like it will make me pay for it on the spot. How can I just add it ?
Reach Diamond / above then you wont have to buy any drinks package save blooming loads lol
A fantastic perk
You can have them empty your frig so you wont get caught with minibar charges.
For free? I work for Royal Caribbean and believe me the words Royal Caribbean and free does not exist anywhere in the world
Gay Goose for the win!

Vegas has robot bartenders
The bartender will actually give you an unopened can of soda?!
