Factors Influencing Deluxe Beverage Package Pricing
The variability in the price of the Deluxe Beverage Package is due to several factors:
- Ship: The specific Royal Caribbean ship you are cruising on can influence the package price. Newer or larger ships may have different pricing structures.
- Trip/Itinerary: The particular cruise itinerary, including its duration and destination, can also affect the daily cost of the Deluxe Beverage Package. Prices can fluctuate based on the cruise's length and specific sailing dates.
It's common for Royal Caribbean to offer discounts on drink packages when purchased pre-cruise through their online Cruise Planner. Keep in mind that these packages are generally priced per person, per day, and often require all guests aged 21 and over in the same stateroom to purchase a package.
