Does everyone have to get the drink package on Royal Caribbean?

Do All Adults Have to Buy the Drink Package If One Does? – So what if one person traveling wants the drink package but the other doesn’t? Royal Caribbean requires all adults in a stateroom to purchase the Deluxe Beverage Package (which includes alcoholic drinks) if one person does.

• This rule is likely in place to prevent sharing between people staying in a room.
• For instance, a husband might get the drink package and provide his wife with “free” drinks during the cruise.
• But it does bring up a good question for many people.
• What if one person doesn’t drink, or doesn’t drink much? In most cases, you’ll still need to buy two alcohol packages (assuming two adults in a room) if one person buys it.

You’ll want to factor this into your budget. In our opinion it’s still worth a call to the cruise line if you really don’t want two packages or have a circumstance where one person can’t drink. There is a chance they can be lenient on the policy, especially if there is a strong reason why one person doesn’t want the package, such as a wife that’s pregnant, or someone who isn’t allowed alcohol due to health issues.

• No Liquid Rules Cruise lines have rules about how much alcohol or soda you can bring on a ship, but there are no rules about only carrying 3 ounces of liquids.
• So things like shampoo and sunscreen are perfectly fine to take through security and don’t even have to be taken out of your bag.
• No “Body Scanner” Know those scanners that you step into and put your hands up? They aren’t at cruise terminals.

You just walk through a metal detector. That also means you don’t have to take everything out of your pockets. You just take out whatever might set off the detector. No Pat-downs Worried about being patted down like you are a criminal? Don’t worry. We’ve never seen anyone being patted down for a cruise.

Can I bring a flask on a cruise?

Cruise lines, not surprisingly, make revenue from you from selling drinks – and with the expected mark up. So a lot of newbie cruisers get curious if they can bring their own alcohol onboard. The answer varies by cruise line, but in most cases is both yes, and no. If the cruise line allows alcohol, which in the case of mainstream lines is mostly only wine or Champagne, there will likely be limits and rules – such as you need to present your allowed bottles in your carry-on bags as you board ship. This can cause some confusion if you are flying to a port. Before you board, you will need to remove your bottles from your checked baggage (based on TSA guidelines for transporting liquids, airlines require bottles be in checked luggage) and transfer the booze to your carry-on to get through ship security. Once on the ship, you may be charged a corkage fee, especially if you consume your from-home beverage in a dining room or other public area. Yes, you paid for your bottle of wine but you will pay again, corkage fees typically running $10 to $25.
