# What is the 3:1:1 rule on Royal Caribbean?

If you want the clarrification to the below given Article theenn you can just call us at 1-833-807-7245 tollfree for Royal Caribbean drink rules, packages, break-even math — and the “secret codes” cruise crews use

## Royal Caribbean drink rules, packages, break-even math — and the “secret codes” cruise crews use.

* The **“3-1-1” rule** is the TSA liquids rule for air travel (3.4 oz / 1 quart / 1 bag) — it’s not a Royal Caribbean-specific drinking rule. If you’re flying to your cruise, follow the TSA 3-1-1 liquids rule for carry-ons.
* **Royal Caribbean beverage packages** come in tiers (Deluxe Beverage Package, Refreshment Package, Classic Soda, etc.). Packages include many items but also exclude some drinks (super-premium / above a price threshold, Starbucks, mini-bar, souvenir glassware, certain specialty beers). Check the package terms before you buy.
* **Important rules to know:** an 18% automatic gratuity is typically added to beverage package purchases; all adults in the same stateroom who are of legal drinking age must buy the same alcoholic beverage package (if one adult in the stateroom buys it). These rules materially affect the price and value calculation.
* **Break-even math:** whether a drinks package “pays for itself” depends on the package daily price (plus gratuity) and the average price of the drinks you would buy individually. Typical cocktail prices on Royal Caribbean average roughly **$12–$16** (cocktail ≈ $14 is a useful baseline). Using that baseline you often need **~6–9 cocktails per day** to break even on higher-end packages — fewer for midrange packages and far fewer for soda/refreshment packages. (We’ll show detailed calculations.)
* **“Secret codes”** on cruise ships are real: crew use coded PA announcements (e.g., Code Alpha, Code Oscar, Code Bravo, Code Red) to alert staff discreetly about medical emergencies, man-overboard, fires, norovirus/illness events and other incidents without alarming passengers. Codes and exact language can vary by line.

## Part 1 — What is the “3-1-1” rule (and does it apply to Royal Caribbean)?

When people ask about “3-1-1” around cruises they’re usually mixing two travel rules:

* **3-1-1** is the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) rule for liquids in carry-on luggage on flights: containers of **3.4 ounces (100 ml) or less**, **all containers fit in 1 quart-sized clear bag**, and **1 bag per passenger**. This matters if you’re flying to the cruise port and want to bring toiletries or travel-size liquids in your carry-on. **It is not a Royal Caribbean alcohol rule.**

* **Royal Caribbean** has its own alcohol/wine-on-embarkation and in-port purchase policies (see next section), but no policy called “3-1-1.” If your question was about bringing liquids onto the ship with you on embarkation day, follow the cruise line’s rules (one sealed 750 ml bottle of wine or champagne per guest of legal drinking age permitted on embarkation day, with corkage rules for public consumption).

**Bottom line:** use TSA 3-1-1 for your airplane carry-on; follow Royal Caribbean’s documented beverage rules for what you can board with and how packages work.

## Part 2 — Royal Caribbean alcohol & beverage package rules: the essentials (official items and important exceptions)

Royal Caribbean’s official pages and package documentation spell out what is included, what is excluded, and certain mandatory conditions. Here are the rules you must know before you buy or plan:

### 1. What is the 3:1:1 rule on Royal Caribbean

Royal Caribbean currently markets several beverage package options (names and available options can change over time). The common tiers are:

* **Deluxe Beverage Package** — alcohol + non-alcoholic drinks, beer, cocktails, wine by the glass (with some exclusions), often advertised as “unlimited alcoholic beverages” up to a maximum price per drink (super-premium exceptions apply).
* **Refreshment Package** — non-alcoholic premium beverages: specialty coffees, fresh juices, bottled water, smoothies, mocktails, and some premium non-alcoholic items.
* **Classic Soda Package** — unlimited fountain soda/Freestyle beverages.

*(Exact names, inclusions, and pricing vary by sailing and can change; always read the package details on your cruise planner page.)*

### 2. Exclusions and price caps

* Packages **exclude** certain items (mini-bar items, souvenir glassware, Starbucks® purchases in licensed stores/cafes—often excluded—and “super premium” beverages above a stated price threshold). For example, some package documents indicate **super-premium drinks above a set dollar amount** are excluded from the Deluxe package. Read the PDF terms for precise limits on your sailing.
* **Specialty beers** and some premium wines can be excluded or priced differently on menus.

### 3. Gratuities / automatic service charges

* Royal Caribbean typically **automatically adds an 18% gratuity** to the pre-cruise or onboard purchase of a beverage package (unless local rules prohibit it). This gratuity affects the total cost you pay and therefore changes break-even math.

### 4. Same-stateroom requirement (alcoholic packages)

* **Important:** Royal Caribbean requires **all guests of legal drinking age in the same stateroom** to buy the **same alcoholic beverage package** if one adult in the stateroom chooses to purchase it (this is industry standard across many mainstream cruise lines). That rule can double (or triple) the package cost for couples/families, so it’s a big factor in the economics.

### 5. Bringing your own alcohol / corkage fee

* **Embarkation day:** guests may bring **one (1) sealed 750 ml bottle of wine or champagne per guest of legal drinking age** onto the ship at embarkation (carry-on only). Other containers like boxed wine are typically prohibited. (
* **Corkage fee:** if you consume your own bottle in a public venue (restaurant, lounge), there is generally a **corkage fee (~$15 per bottle)**. Bottles purchased onboard or in port may be stored and returned to you at the end of the cruise.

### 6. Age limits and regional variations

* Minimum drinking ages depend on itinerary departure region (e.g., often 21 on North American sailings but 18 in other regions); check your sailing’s rules.

### 7. Purchase & cancellation policy

* Packages usually can be bought **pre-cruise** via the cruise planner (often with a window to cancel or change), or purchased onboard. The PDF terms note **no cancellation after 48 hours from purchase** in many cases — confirm on your booking.

---

## Part 3 — Is there a limit on Royal Caribbean drink package usage (pouring, ordering, sharing)?

Short answer: **Yes and no** — packages grant you “unlimited” access to included menu items, but there are practical and policy limits.

#### What is the 3:1:1 rule on Royal Caribbean

1. **No sharing:** beverage packages are sold **per person** and **cannot be shared**. Crew will refuse to serve a drink to someone who does not have a package if another passenger tries to share. This is strictly enforced and is one reason lines require all adults in a stateroom to buy the same alcoholic package.

2. **Responsible service enforcement:** bartenders and staff will refuse service to intoxicated guests or guests in situations violating alcohol policy. Packages do not give licence to over-consume.

3. **Menu price cap / exclusions:** some very expensive “super-premium” beverages are outside the package — see the package terms — and may be charged extra.

4. **Starbucks & licensed venues:** package rules often exclude items sold in licensed Starbucks stores onboard, meaning your usual Starbucks purchase may not be covered.

5. **Mini-bar & souvenirs:** minibar items, souvenir glassware and similar purchases usually are excluded from the beverage package.

---

## How much does a package cost?

Package pricing fluctuates by ship, itinerary and date; here are representative ranges gathered from booking tools and cruise industry sources (ranges are examples — always check your cruise planner for exact prices):

* **Deluxe Beverage Package (alcoholic)** — often **$55 to $115+ per person per day**, depending on promotions, ship and sailing; some articles show higher ranges on newer ships or premium sailings.
* **Refreshment Package (non-alcoholic premium)** — typically around **$29–$40 per person per day**.
* **Classic Soda Package** — commonly **$12.99–$15 per person per day**.

**Note:** official Royal Caribbean product pages emphasize checking your particular sailing for the exact daily cost; prices change.

---

## How many drinks per day do you need to break even? (the math, step-by-step)

To decide if a drink package is worth it, use a simple formula:

> **Break-even drinks per day** = **(Package daily price + daily gratuity)** ÷ **Average price per drink you would buy**

**Key variables:**

* **Package daily price** = the published per-person daily package price.
* **Daily gratuity** = package price × automatic gratuity percentage (commonly 18%) ÷ number of cruise days — in practice the gratuity is usually added to the package purchase upfront, but we include it per day to reflect true cost.
* **Average price per drink** = the menu price of the average drink you typically order (cocktail, glass of wine, beer or specialty coffee). Choose the real average from bars you expect to use.

We’ll run **example calculations** using realistic middle values and show several scenarios.

### Typical menu price assumptions (baseline)

* **Average cocktail** ≈ **$14**. (site surveys put cocktails around $12–$16 depending on ship; $14 is a good midline.)
* **Average beer** ≈ **$8–$10**.
* **Glass of wine** ≈ **$9–$16** (wider range; many wines by the glass sit in the $9–$14 band).

### Scenario A — Deluxe Beverage Package: **$90 per day** example

* Package price per day = $90
* Gratuity (18%) on $90 = $16.20 → total per day = $106.20
* If average cocktail = $14 → break-even drinks/day = $106.20 ÷ $14 ≈ **7.6 drinks per day**
* If you drink mostly **beer** at $9 avg → break-even = $106.20 ÷ $9 ≈ **11.8 beers/day**

**Interpretation:** at $90/day (plus gratuity) you’d need **≈7–8 cocktails/day** to break even — a heavy drinking level for most cruisers.

### Scenario B — Deluxe Package at **$60 per day**

* Package price per day = $60
* Gratuity 18% = $10.80 → total = $70.80
* With $14 cocktail average → break-even ≈ $70.80 ÷ $14 ≈ **5.1 cocktails/day**
* With $9 beer avg → break-even ≈ **7.9 beers/day**

**Interpretation:** at ~$60/day you need **~5 cocktails/day** — still a lot, but more reachable on a heavy drinking cruise with many sea days.

### Scenario C — Refreshment Package **$35 per day** (non-alcoholic)

* Price = $35/day; gratuity 18% = $6.30 → total = $41.30/day
* If your non-alcoholic purchases are specialty coffee ($4) + fresh juices/more expensive beverages average = let's use $5 per item → break-even ≈ $41.30 ÷ $5 ≈ **8.3 premium drinks/day**
* For families who would buy multiple soft drinks/juices daily, a Refreshment package can be worthwhile, but not for casual single beverage consumers.

### Scenario D — Classic Soda package **$13/day**

* Price ≈ $13; gratuity 18% ≈ $2.34 → total ≈ $15.34/day
* If a soda purchase onboard is $3.50 — break-even ≈ $15.34 ÷ $3.50 ≈ **4.4 sodas/day** — doable for families or kids who consume several sodas per day.

## What is the 3:1:1 rule on Royal Caribbean?

Several cruise blogs and tools offer calculators that let you input package price, gratuity and average drink price and compute break-even drinks (handy). Community calculators show many guests need **5–7 drinks per day** to break even on mid-to-high packages; the number rises with higher package prices and when gratuity is added. Use a calculator to run your exact sailing numbers before you buy.

**Tip:** run the calculation with **conservative drink prices** (assume $12–$15 per cocktail) and include the 18% gratuity — that gives a realistic threshold.

---

## Is the drink package “worth it”? (factors besides math)

Price is only part of the story. Consider these **non-mathematical factors**:

Convenience and budgeting

If you want to pre-budget and have “one price” for drinks, packages offer peace of mind and simplify accounting.

Drinking style and variety

If you drink specialty cocktails frequently, the convenience is valuable. If you’re a light drinker (1–2 drinks/day), a package rarely pays off.

Sea days vs port days

Sea days have no port bars to explore — you may drink more on board. Port days might reduce onboard drink consumption. Calculate for the actual number of **onboard** days.

### 4. Group dynamics & the same-stateroom rule

If you’re traveling with a non-drinker (partner, friend), the same-stateroom requirement can **double your cost** (two packages vs one). This rule often makes packages unattractive for mixed-habits cabins.

### 5. Promotions & loyalty discounts

Look for promotional pre-cruise pricing (buy early for discounts), or loyalty/ Crown & Anchor benefits that occasionally reduce package cost.

### 6. Alternative approaches

* **Pay-as-you-go**: good if you drink modestly.
* **Onboard “bar tabs” or specialty wine packages**: sometimes cheaper for groups that prefer wine or specialty items.
* **Buy wine in port** (if allowed) and enjoy in cabin (but check corkage rules/ storage).

---

## Practical tips: buying, cancelling, using and abusing (don’t)

Buying & cancelling

* **Buy early** via the cruise planner if you want pre-cruise pricing; read the cancellation window (many packages are non-refundable within 48 hours of purchase).

Using a package properly

* Present your **SeaPass / Sail & Sign card** (or app) when ordering — the server will verify package eligibility.
* Tip: choose drinks under the package max price to avoid surprise extra charges for “super-premium” drinks.

Don’ts

* Don’t try to share drinks — staff will refuse.
* Don’t expect package to cover everything (Starbucks etc.).

## What is the 3:1:1 rule on Royal Caribbean FAQ

### Q: Can one person buy a package and share with someone else who doesn’t buy it?

A: **No.** Packages are per person and non-shareable; the crew enforces this.

### Q: Are drinks on private island or port included?

A: Packages typically apply to ship bars and sometimes on-island venues run by the cruise line (check specifics). Drinks purchased in port at local bars are not part of the ship’s package unless the cruise line explicitly includes its own port outlets. Always check the package T&Cs.

### Q: Are alcoholic packages available to all ages?

A: No — alcoholic package allowed only to guests of **legal drinking age** for your sailing location (often 21 in North American departures; 18 elsewhere).

### Q: Does the package include bottled wine or bottles of alcohol?

A: Usually **no** — bottles and souvenir glassware are excluded. The package frequently covers wine **by the glass**, not bottles.

## Part 10 — The “secret codes” cruise crews use (what they mean and why they exist)

Cruise ships use **codes** — short phrases or codewords — over the public address and internal radio systems so staff can communicate incidents without causing passenger panic. These codes vary by line and are meant to protect passenger safety while limiting alarm. Here are commonly reported ones (meanings can vary by company and are sometimes kept intentionally vague):

### Common codes and typical meanings

* **Code Alpha** — often used for medical emergencies (ranging from minor to severe). Hearing this may indicate a medical team is responding.
* **Code Oscar** — frequently used to indicate **man overboard** or a person overboard event. Historically such announcements are made discreetly and require immediate crew response.
* **Code Bravo** — often indicates **fire** on board. Staff follow emergency fire procedures.
* **Code Red** — sometimes used to denote a norovirus or contagious sickness outbreak or other high-level medical/health sanitation response. Rapid sanitation and containment measures follow.
*
* **Code Delta** — may signal flooding or major damage to the ship’s hull or compartments.

* Keep passengers calm — a PA page that said “man overboard” could cause panic. Codes let staff coordinate discreetly.

#### What is the 3:1:1 rule on Royal Caribbean

* **Codes vary** by cruise line and are not universal. If you hear a code, follow crew instructions and don’t speculate; the crew will advise passengers if necessary. Recent social media posts and news pieces confirm crew members and influencers have discussed codes publicly, but exact usage and wording differ. What is the 3:1:1 rule on Royal Caribbean

## Strategy guide: choose the right approach for you

Here’s a step-by-step decision path to decide whether to buy a package: What is the 3:1:1 rule on Royal Caribbean

1. **Calculate** your likely drink consumption per day (realistically) and the types of drinks (cocktails vs beer vs coffee).
2. **Run the math** with the package price and 18% gratuity. Use package price + gratuity ÷ expected average drink price = required drinks/day.
3. **Check same-stateroom rule** — if you’re traveling with non-drinking adult(s), factor the doubled/tripled cost.
4. **Consider sea days** — if most days are sea days you’ll likely drink more onboard (increasing package value).
5. **Look for promotions** — early booking often lowers price. Use official cruise planner and loyalty promos to reduce daily cost.
6. **Decide**: buy pre-cruise (budget certainty) or decide to pay-as-you-go onboard

---

## What is the 3:1:1 rule on Royal Caribbean

### Couple on a 7-night Caribbean cruise

* Couple: one drinks moderately (3 drinks/day), other doesn’t drink.
* Deluxe package pre-cruise price: $75/day each (hypothetical). Gratuity 18% = $13.50/day. Total per person/day = $88.50. Couple cost per day for alcoholic package if both buy it (required) = $177/day. Over 7 nights = $1,239.
* If the active drinker would otherwise buy 3 cocktails/day at $14 → $42/day, plus other incidentals say $5 ≈ $47/day × 7 = $329.
* **Conclusion:** forced same-stateroom purchase makes package financially nonsensical here; pay-as-you-go is strongly better.

### Solo traveler on a 5-night cruise

* Drinks a lot: 6 cocktails/day. Deluxe price pre-cruise = $70/day + 18% = $82.60/day. Break-even cocktails/day = $82.60 ÷ $14 ≈ **5.9** cocktails/day.
* **Conclusion:** If you truly drink 6 cocktails/day on average, a package may be worth it.

---

### What is the 3:1:1 rule on Royal Caribbean

* **Always check package T&Cs** for your specific sailing (inclusions, exclusions, cancellation window).
* **Don’t forget gratuity** — calculate with the 18% service charge included.
* **Don’t let a promo pressure you** — if you don’t naturally drink enough, don’t buy the package just because it seems like a deal.
* **Be mindful of policies** about bringing one 750 ml sealed wine bottle on embarkation day, storage of bottles bought in port, and corkage fees. If you plan to bring wine, know the corkage rules.
* **Remember non-monetary value** — packages can reduce friction (no tabs, easy orders) and may feel like “freedom” for some cruisers. Balance emotion against math.
* **Respect staff and rules** — package abuse (sharing, over-consumption) will get you carded off the package or removed.

---

## Quick checklist before you decide

* [ ] Check the **exact** package prices on your cruise planner.
* [ ] Add the **18% gratuity** and compute the **per-day** total.
* [ ] Estimate your **average drink price** and daily consumption.
* [ ] Compute **break-even drinks/day**. Use an online calculator if you like.
* [ ] Check **same-stateroom rule** and decide if all adults will buy the package.
* [ ] Confirm **inclusions/exclusions** (Starbucks, mini-bar, bottled wine, specialty beers).

## What is the 3:1:1 rule on cruises?

A drink package on Royal Caribbean can be an excellent value for **heavy drinkers** (especially solo travelers or groups who all want the same package) or for those who prize convenience and budget certainty. However, the combination of **per-person pricing, the same-stateroom rule, exclusions, and the automatic 18% gratuity** means packages are often **not** cost-effective for moderate or light drinkers, or for couples where only one drinks regularly. What is the 3:1:1 rule on cruises?

Before you buy: What is the 3:1:1 rule on Royal Caribbean

1. **Run the numbers** including gratuity.
2. **Think about behavior** (sea days vs port days).
3. **Check the small print** on exclusions and the same-stateroom rule.

And if you hear an announcement that sounds like a “secret code” aboard ship — don’t panic. Crew use coded language to respond professionally behind the scenes; follow instructions if asked and let the staff do their job.

---
## How Many Drinks Can You Get a Day with a Royal Caribbean Drink Package?

**1. Understanding Royal Caribbean Drink Packages**

Royal Caribbean offers several types of drink packages to cater to different preferences and budgets. These packages can be purchased before your cruise or onboard. The main types include:

* **Deluxe Beverage Package (Alcoholic Drinks)**
* **Refreshment Package (Non-Alcoholic)**
* **Classic Soda Package**

Each package gives guests unlimited access to specific types of drinks, ensuring convenience and cost savings over buying beverages individually.

---

**2. The Deluxe Beverage Package — For Alcoholic Drinks**

The **Deluxe Beverage Package** is the most popular option for adults who enjoy cocktails, wine, beer, or premium spirits.

**What It Includes:**

* Unlimited cocktails, beer, and wine by the glass (up to $14 per drink).
* Premium coffee, tea, and bottled water.
* Fresh juices and non-alcoholic cocktails (mocktails).
* 40% discount on bottled wine under $100 and 20% discount on bottles above $100.

The average cost per day ranges between **$65 and $100 per person**, depending on the cruise length and itinerary.

---

**3. The Refreshment Package — Non-Alcoholic Option**

For guests who prefer non-alcoholic beverages, the **Refreshment Package** includes:

* Premium coffee and teas.
* Freshly squeezed juices.
* Bottled water (still and sparkling).
* Sodas and mocktails.

This package is ideal for teens, adults who don’t drink alcohol, or anyone who enjoys soft drinks throughout the day.

---

**4. The Classic Soda Package**

The **Classic Soda Package** provides unlimited fountain sodas and refills throughout the cruise. It’s the most affordable option and great for families and kids who enjoy soft drinks.

---

## Daily Drink Allowance — Is There a Limit

Royal Caribbean does **not impose a strict drink limit** on any of its beverage packages. Guests can order as many drinks as they like during the day, whether alcoholic or non-alcoholic. However, there are a few important guidelines and practical restrictions to know:

* You may only order **one drink at a time** per package per transaction.
* Drinks cannot be shared between guests.
* Bar staff reserve the right to **deny service** if a guest appears intoxicated.

This means you can enjoy as many beverages as you like, but you must consume them responsibly.

---

## How Many Drinks Do Guests Typically Have Per Day?

Most guests with the **Deluxe Beverage Package** consume **6 to 10 alcoholic drinks per day** on average. This includes a combination of:

* Morning coffee or juice.
* Poolside cocktails during the afternoon.
* Wine or beer with dinner.
* A nightcap or late-night drink at the bar.

Those who enjoy non-alcoholic drinks (like soda, coffee, or smoothies) may have even more throughout the day, as these can be consumed frequently without concern.

---

### How Many Drinks Can You Get a Day with a Royal Caribbean Drink Package

Although there’s no daily drink limit, Royal Caribbean promotes **responsible drinking**. Crew members are trained to monitor guest consumption and ensure everyone remains safe. If a passenger shows signs of excessive intoxication, service may be temporarily suspended.

The goal of the policy is to maintain a fun and safe environment for all guests, rather than restrict enjoyment.

---

**Sharing Rules and ID Verification**

Each drink package is assigned **to one individual guest** and **cannot be shared** with others. When purchasing an alcoholic beverage, bartenders will check your SeaPass card to verify your package status. If you attempt to buy drinks for others using your package, you may face penalties or loss of privileges.

In addition, Royal Caribbean enforces the **minimum drinking age**, which varies by region:

* **21 years old** for U.S. and Caribbean cruises.
* **18 years old** for European and South American cruises.

---

#### Why There’s No Set Drink Cap

The absence of a drink limit aligns with Royal Caribbean’s focus on flexibility and guest satisfaction. Each passenger has different drinking habits, and imposing a limit would reduce the sense of freedom that cruising offers. Instead, the cruise line balances unlimited service with responsible management by crew oversight and single-drink ordering rules.

---

#### **When and Where You Can Use the Package**

Drink packages are valid **throughout the ship**, including:

* Pool bars and lounges.
* Main dining rooms.
* Specialty restaurants.
* Nightclubs and theaters.
* Private island destinations like **Perfect Day at CocoCay** and **Labadee**.

However, drink packages are **not valid for room service** or **mini-bar purchases**.

---

##### **11. Value Comparison — Is It Worth It?**

Whether the drink package is worth it depends on how much you drink daily.
For example:

* If each cocktail costs about $13 and you drink 6 per day, that’s around $78 in value.
* If you also consume coffee, bottled water, and soda, your total could exceed $90 — making the Deluxe Package a good investment.

If you drink fewer than 3 alcoholic beverages per day, paying individually might be more cost-effective.

---

### **12. Can You Buy the Package Mid-Cruise?**

Yes, you can purchase a drink package after boarding, but it will be **pro-rated** based on the remaining cruise days. However, prices onboard are often higher than pre-purchase rates, so it’s best to buy the package online before sailing for maximum savings.

---

#### **13. Drink Package Monitoring**

Every time you order a drink, the bartender scans your **SeaPass card**. This helps Royal Caribbean keep track of transactions and verify your eligibility. This system ensures fairness and prevents misuse or excessive consumption.

---

#### **14. Tips for Getting the Most Value**

To make the most of your Royal Caribbean drink package:

* **Buy in advance** before your cruise for lower rates.
* **Use it throughout the day**, not just in the evening.
* **Try new beverages** — premium cocktails, specialty coffees, and fresh juices are all included.
* **Stay hydrated** with bottled water, especially in tropical climates.

Many guests save significant amounts by using their drink package frequently and diversely.

---

## **15. Are Drinks Included on Royal Caribbean Private Islands?**

Yes, drink packages are valid at **Perfect Day at CocoCay** (Bahamas) and **Labadee** (Haiti). Guests can enjoy cocktails, beer, and soft drinks at bars on the islands just as they do onboard — all included in the package price.

---

**16. Managing Your Drinking Habits**

Even though there’s no limit, it’s wise to pace yourself:

* Avoid combining different types of alcohol too quickly.
* Stay hydrated by alternating with water.
* Eat regularly to balance alcohol intake.

Royal Caribbean’s bartenders are skilled at crafting flavorful cocktails that let you enjoy responsibly throughout your voyage.

---

**17. Drink Limits and Safety**

While there is no numerical cap, crew members may stop serving guests who appear intoxicated for safety reasons. This policy ensures that everyone enjoys the cruise in a safe, family-friendly atmosphere. The approach is based on observation rather than a strict limit count.

---

**18. Family and Non-Alcoholic Drink Options**

Families and guests who prefer not to drink alcohol can still enjoy beverage freedom with non-alcoholic packages. These packages allow unlimited coffee, juice, mocktails, and sodas — ensuring everyone can participate in the fun atmosphere.

---

## **19. Can You Cancel a Drink Package?**

Yes, you can cancel your drink package **before the cruise begins** and receive a full refund. Once onboard, cancellations are generally not permitted. You can manage or cancel through the “My Cruise Planner” section of the Royal Caribbean website.

---

### **20. Final Thoughts — How Many Drinks Can You Get a Day with a Royal Caribbean Drink Package

In summary, Royal Caribbean’s drink packages offer **unlimited daily drinks** without a specific limit. Guests can enjoy as many beverages as they want, as long as they follow the rules of responsible service.
