Tips

Royal Caribbean requires all guests within the same room to choose the same beverage package.

Note: Guests under 21 are not permitted to select an alcoholic beverage package. However, guests staying with those under 21 can still choose an alcoholic package.

If you have a situation where guests over the age of 21 in the same room have differing preferences—one wanting the alcohol package and the other not—please contact Royal Caribbean to request an exception at 866-562-7625.

Additional Recommendations:

  • Drink packages are good the entire day at Perfect Day at CocoCay.

  • Drink packages are not valid anywhere in Nassau.

  • Check your Royal Caribbean Crown & Anchor account for pricing. The price of beverage packages increases significantly as the departure date approaches, and some packages may no longer be available.

  • If you purchase a beverage package and later find it offered at a lower rate during a sale, you can cancel your existing package for a refund and repurchase the package at the sale price. Note that refunds may take 7-10 days to post to your bank account.

  • If guests opt not to participate in an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage package, they will be limited to non-bottled water, regular coffee, tea, and select juices only available in the buffet section of the ship. While this is a feasible option, it will require guests to venture to one specific location to get their beverage or purchase beverages elsewhere on the ship.

  • There is no limit on a Royal Caribbean drink package in terms of how many drinks a guest may consume in a day or throughout the cruise. The only limit is that you may only order one drink per order, per drink package. If multiple people are ordering a drink with a drink package, the bartender or waiter may take each guest's SeaPass card to place the order.

Deluxe Beverage Package:

Royal Caribbean offers just one unlimited alcohol package, the Deluxe Beverage Package.

The Deluxe Beverage Package offers "the best of both worlds," with access to nearly the entire stock of beverages with or without liquor. Enjoy virtually unlimited combinations of everything from cocktails with top-shelf spirits to premium teas and every beverage in between.

For each guest that purchases this package, it includes:

  • Cocktails, spirits, liqueurs

  • Beer

  • Wine (by the glass)

  • Mocktails

  • Premium coffees & teas

  • Fountain sodas / Coca-Cola Freestyle beverages

  • Coca-Cola Souvenir Cup

  • Bottled still and sparkling water

  • Fresh squeezed juices

  • 40% discount on bottles of wine under $100. Bottles of wine above $100 will receive a 20% discount.

The Deluxe Beverage Package includes drinks with liquor up to $14 in value. Drinks served in a souvenir cup/glass/mug and/or drinks served inside fruit (e.g., pineapples) are not included in the package; however, a portion of the drink price is subsidized by the beverage package.

Important Note:

One thing to note in the fine print is that all Royal Caribbean passengers 21 years of age and older (18 years in Australia and the U.K.) are required to purchase the Deluxe Beverage Package if at least one other person in their cabin has one.

If the other adult(s) in the same stateroom do not wish to purchase a Deluxe Beverage Package, you can call Royal Caribbean and ask for an exemption. Usually, Royal Caribbean will allow the other adult(s) to purchase a less-expensive drink package, such as the Refreshment Package.

Refreshment Package:

This drink package includes all nonalcoholic drinks and is popular with adults, older children, and those who enjoy juices, coffee, and teas.

For each guest that purchases this package, it includes:

  • Premium coffees and teas

  • Bottled still and sparkling water

  • Fresh squeezed orange juice

  • Mocktails

  • Fountain sodas / Coca-Cola Freestyle beverages

  • Coca-Cola Souvenir Cup

The price per night of the Refreshment Package is $29.00 per guest (excluding gratuity).

Soda Package:

The Classic Soft Drinks package, often referred to as the "soda card" by many guests, offers unlimited soda and is quite popular with kids.

For each guest that purchases this package, it includes:

  • Fountain Soda and refills in any venue

  • Coca-Cola Freestyle beverages

  • Coca-Cola Souvenir Cup

OTHER OPTIONS:

Café Select Coffee Card:

*Do not need if have the Deluxe Beverage Package or Refreshment Package

If all you want are lattes, espresso, or something stronger than regular coffee, then perhaps Royal Caribbean's Café Select Coffee Card is the right choice for you.

Unlike the other drink packages, the coffee card is not unlimited. Instead, you get a physical card that will be punched every time you use it. Each card is good for 15 punches.

For every brewed coffee you order, the barista will punch a hole in the card to note how many drinks you've ordered. You can use the coffee card at Royal Caribbean coffee locations, such as Cafe Promenade or Cafe Latte-tudes. It does not work at freestanding Starbucks kiosks.

Another difference from the other drink packages is that you are allowed to share the coffee card benefits with another guest.

Water Package:

*Do not need if have the Deluxe Beverage Package or Refreshment Package

Royal Caribbean's Water Packages offer 12 or 24 packs of one-liter bottles of water, which are delivered to your cabin on embarkation day.

The bottled water package is a convenient way to have spring water available for your use while you cruise. It's ideal for anyone who generally prefers bottled water over tap water. Additionally, having bottled water means you can take it around the ship with you or even on shore excursions.

You'll still have access to drinking water during your cruise at every bar, restaurant, or lounge. Drinking water on the ship is very clean and filtered at a higher level than most public drinking water at home.

INTERNET PACKAGE INFORMATION

VOOM SURF + STREAM Internet Package

All guests can purchase their internet package on their:

Do I Need an Internet Package?

No, but... guests without an internet package risk incurring very costly roaming charges while at sea. You can turn off roaming, but even a momentary temptation to turn it back on can lead to expensive consequences.

Without an internet package, it becomes more challenging to communicate with other guests. Last-minute changes in plans or meeting locations may not reach you, leaving you to figure out where everyone is on your own.

  • Internet packages are good the entire day at Perfect Day at CocoCay.

  • Internet packages are not valid anywhere in Nassau; check with your service provider for the best international rates for the day - or keep your phone off.

VOOM Surf + Stream Information

Royal Caribbean's VOOM Surf + Stream is the fastest internet at sea, offering high-speed connectivity throughout your cruise. Here’s what you need to know:

Features:

  • High-Speed Internet: Stream videos, check social media, browse the web, and stay connected with friends and family.

  • Multiple Devices: The package allows for connectivity on multiple devices, so you can use your smartphone, tablet, or laptop.

  • Video Calling: Stay in touch through video calls via Skype, Zoom, or FaceTime with minimal lag.

Usage Tips:

Additional Information:

  • Support: Technical support is available onboard to help with any connectivity issues or questions about the service.

FAQs:

Can I share the VOOM package with others?

What happens if I have issues with my connection?

  • Royal Caribbean offers onboard support to assist with any technical difficulties you may encounter with the VOOM service.

Is the internet speed guaranteed?

  • While VOOM offers the fastest internet at sea, speeds can vary depending on the number of users and location of the ship.

By choosing the VOOM Surf + Stream package, you ensure a seamless and enjoyable internet experience throughout your cruise, allowing you to stay connected and entertained.

Recommendation

Consider buying one VOOM package and adding multiple devices to match the number of people in your room. This allows all guests in the same room to connect simultaneously and is the most economical choice.

  • Shared Access: There will only be one username and password that everyone will share to connect.

  • Cost-Effective: Sharing a single package is usually more cost-effective than purchasing separate packages for each person.

Note: If it's important for each person to have their own username and password, separate VOOM packages will need to be purchased, which is generally less economical.
