Royal Caribbean streamlines drinks packages

Royal Caribbean International has pared down its offering of beverage packages to four, with just one that includes alcohol. The cruise line said guests can buy a package that includes beer, wine and cocktails for a price of $55 a day (the package includes drinks that sell for less than $12). Guests will get a $12 credit toward any drink that costs more than $12. The package also includes non-alcoholic beverages, premium coffee, tea and bottled water. The new packages went into effect Sept. 6.
Previously, Royal Caribbean offered packages that includes various levels of alcoholic drinks for $39, $57 and $67 a day. It said guests that had ordered a $39 package will be upgraded at no charge.
Royal Caribbean said the changes were made with a focus on making the vacation-planning process easy. Two other nonalcoholic options are the Classic Soda package, which provides soft drinks at $8.50 per day, and the Refreshment Package that includes a spectrum of nonalcoholic drinks for $26 a day. Guests can also order Evian water in packages of either 12 one-liter bottles ($39) or 24 one-liter bottles ($69).
