Is a Drink Package Worth It in 2026?
A Deluxe Beverage Package only pays off if you’ll drink roughly five or more beverages a day. On Utopia of the Seas, the list price was $115 per person per day, discounted to about $73.99 with a 35% pre-cruise promotion still requiring heavy daily consumption to break even.
To calculate this yourself:
- Add up what you’d realistically order in a day (coffee, a soda, a cocktail, a glass of wine).
- Remember U.S. sailings add an 18% gratuity on top of every à la carte price; UK-departure menus often show gratuity-inclusive pricing already.
- Compare that daily total against the package’s per-day cost shown in your Cruise Planner, since pricing is dynamic and changes by sailing.
Choose the Deluxe package if you drink alcohol regularly throughout the day. Choose the Refreshment Package if you want mocktails, juice, and specialty coffee without alcohol. Choose the Classic Soda Package if fountain drinks are your main draw it’s the cheapest of the three.

Special Promotions Worth Knowing About
Royal Caribbean regularly rotates limited-time specials such as $6 Happy Hour Margaritas served between 4 and 6 p.m., and the Pineapple State of Mind, a pool-deck specialty drink. These promotions vary by sailing and aren’t guaranteed fleet-wide.
Check the Cruise Compass (the daily onboard program) or ask your bartender directly, since specials aren’t always listed on printed menus and can change mid-cruise.
Latest Menu Updates
Royal Caribbean refreshed its fleet-wide standard bar menu in September 2025, and the Royal Caribbean Blog reported an expansion of the non-alcoholic drink list to more than 50 mocktails fleet-wide as of August 2026. This information was checked against menus photographed on Liberty of the Seas, Quantum of the Seas, and Utopia of the Seas through late 2025 and 2026 sailings.
