1. Understanding Royal Caribbean Drink Prices
When planning a Royal Caribbean cruise, understanding the costs of beverages is essential. Royal Caribbean drink prices can vary, so it’s wise to get an idea of what to expect before you set sail. This information is regularly updated to give you the best idea of how much enjoying a drink will cost you. The information provided here is valid for a wide range of Royal Caribbean ships, including Adventure of the Seas, Allure of the Seas, Anthem of the Seas, Brilliance of the Seas, Enchantment of the Seas, Explorer of the Seas, Freedom of the Seas, Grandeur of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas, Icon of the Seas, Independence of the Seas, Jewel of the Seas, Liberty of the Seas, Mariner of the Seas, Navigator of the Seas, Oasis of the Seas, Odyssey of the Seas, Ovation of the Seas, Quantum of the Seas, Radiance of the Seas, Rhapsody of the Seas, Serenade of the Seas, Star of the Seas, Symphony of the Seas, Utopia of the Seas, Vision of the Seas, Voyager of the Seas, and Wonder of the Seas.
1.1 Components of Drink Prices
The price you will pay for a drink is made up of two components: the drink price and gratuity. Royal Caribbean charges an automatic 18% gratuity to drinks ordered, so there’s no extra math for you to do.
If you have a drink package, gratuity is included with your package price so there’s nothing extra once you buy the beverage package.
1.2 Ballpark Royal Caribbean Drink Prices
Here’s a general idea of Royal Caribbean beverage costs (prices listed below are before gratuity):
| Drink | Price |
|---|---|
| Beer | $7.49 (American); $7.99 (Import) |
| Glass of wine | $9.00 – $25.00 |
| Bottled water | $2.25 |
| Cocktail | $10.00 – 14.00 |
| Hard Cider | $7.25 – $7.99 |
| Can of Soda | $3.50 |
| Drink of the Day | $11.00 |
| Latte | $4.25 |
| Bottle of water (500 ml) | $3.25 |
1.3 Understanding the Drink of the Day
The drink of the day is a cocktail that gets about a 25% discount from its normal price.
Every day there is a new drink of the day, which is advertised in the Cruise Compass daily newspaper, as well as on signs at various bars. You can always ask the bartender at any bar what the drink of the day is.
You can expect the drink of the day to be a fruity, crowd-pleasing cocktail that has wide appeal.
1.4 Price Variations Across the Fleet
It is worth noting the drink prices across Royal Caribbean’s fleet do vary to some degree. Specifically, drink prices on Oasis or Quantum Class ships are usually a bit more expensive (50 cents to one dollar more) than on other ships in the fleet.
Not to worry, an unlimited Royal Caribbean drink package still includes most drinks.
1.5 Consistent Pricing Regardless of Sailing Location
The prices for drinks are consistent, regardless of where your ship sails from. So the drink prices on your ship in the Caribbean will be the same as a ship sailing in Europe.
1.6 Ordering Multiple Drinks
If you’re paying for drinks without a drink package, you can order more than one drink at a time. If you have a drink package, expect to be able to order one drink per drink package at a time.
