Free Drinks Included in the Royal Caribbean Cruise Fare
First, knowing what’s already included in your cruise fare is important for those new to cruising. In our numerous sailings with Royal Caribbean, we’ve found these complimentary drink options consistently available across their ships:
Complimentary Beverages Available:
- Tap water
- Iced tea
- Lemonade
- Flavored water
- Coffee
- Hot tea
- Breakfast juices
For many, the included drink selections will more than suffice for a cruise. In fact, we know many Royal Caribbean cruisers who spend 3, 4, or 7 days on a cruise and never pay for a drink!
But, honestly, we are not one of them! Even on short weekend getaway cruises, we often consume both premium non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages. The trick is to save as much money as possible when making these purchases!
Where to Find Free Drinks:
Complimentary beverages are available at several different locations scattered throughout your ship. However, Royal has added even more self-service locations on its newer ships. Plus, these kiosks use a new tap system, making it easier to get beverages and improving the quality of those drinks. Still, even on older ships, there should be several venues where guests can get included beverages throughout the day.
The main places to find free drinks include:
- Windjammer Buffet: All complimentary beverages available at self-serve stations
- Main Dining Room: All complimentary beverages served with meals
- Café Promenade: Basic coffee and tea (specialty coffees cost extra)
- Park Café: Basic beverages (on Oasis-class ships)
- Sorrento’s Pizza: Beverage station with basics
On our recent sailing on Icon of the Seas, we found it much easier to access free drinks throughout the ship compared to our earlier cruises on older vessels.
Premium Non-Alcoholic Drink Prices on Royal Caribbean
While a number of non-alcoholic beverages are part of the cruise fare, several premium offerings will increase your cruise’s cost. Here’s what you’ll pay for premium non-alcoholic beverages based current menu pricing:
| Non-Alcoholic Option | Royal Caribbean Drink Price (Before 18% Gratuity) |
| Bottled Water (500ml) | $3.50 |
| Soda Cans | $3.50 |
| Juice | $3.50 |
| Energy Drinks | $4.00 |
| Specialty Coffees | $4.50-$5.00 |
| Starbucks Coffees | $6.00-$7.00 |
| Zero-Proof Cocktails | $7.00 |
| Smoothies/Fresh Juices | $8.25 |
As coffee lovers, we’ve found that specialty coffees are one area where Royal Caribbean drink prices can add up quickly. Heidi and I drink a lot of coffee, but we prefer espresso-based drinks. So, if you like a morning latte or a cappuccino in the evenings like we do, those will be an upcharge.
Many bars on Royal Caribbean offer a selection of zero-proof cocktails as well. Further, some Royal Caribbean ships, like the new Icon of the Seas, have a Vitality Cafe. Here, cruisers can purchase freshly made juices, like the Fruit Oasis.
These are tasty alternatives for those who do not consume alcohol.
Our Money-Saving Tips for Non-Alcoholic Beverages:
- Bring Your Own: Royal Caribbean allows cruisers to bring up to 12 cans or bottles (no larger than 17 oz) per cabin on embarkation day. We often do this with bottled water and sodas.
- Pre-Purchase Water: In recent years, we’ve started pre-purchasing 1-liter bottles of water before our cruise at discounted rates through the Cruise Planner instead of lugging them onboard.
- Café Select Coffee Card: For coffee junkies like us, you should consider a Café Select Coffee card. These coffee cards can help you save money on your cruise, giving you 15 specialty coffees for $31.
- Starbucks Coffee: We’ve learned that Starbucks beverages at licensed locations are NOT included in any Royal Caribbean drink package or the Coffee Card. However, beverages made with Starbucks coffee at venues like Cafe Promenade or Pearl Cafe are covered in both packages.
Royal Caribbean Beer Prices: Domestic & International Options
There’s nothing better than relaxing poolside with an ice-cold brew. For the most part, bottles of beer on Royal Caribbean ships cost around $7.00 to $8.00 a serving. This pricing is also similar for beer alternatives like seltzers or ciders, which tend to be around $7.99 a serving.
Of course, these Royal Caribbean beer prices are before the 18% gratuity that’s automatically added to all beverages.
Domestic Beer Prices:
| Beer | Royal Caribbean Drink Price |
| Bud Light | $7.49 |
| Budweiser | $7.49 |
| Coors Light | $7.49 |
| Miller Lite | $7.49 |
| Amstel Light | $7.99 |
| Samuel Adams | $7.99 |
| Juicy Haze IPA | $7.99 |
| Sierra Nevada | $7.99 |
| Stone IPA | $7.99 |
| Terrapin Lula Krunkles | $7.99 |
| Blue Moon | $7.99 |
| Angry Orchard | $7.99 |
| Truly Hard Seltzer | $7.49 |

| Guinness | $7.99 |
| Newcastle | $7.99 |
| Stella Artois | $7.99 |
| Heineken 0.0 (Non-alcoholic) | $7.99 |
The English pub is one of the most happening bars on most Royal Caribbean ships. We have spent many nights here with friends enjoying a few drinks with live music. These pubs, like the Bow & Stern English Pub on Icon of the Seas, offer an extensive beer list. Even here, we have found that most beers are under $8, except for one or two rare beers that are $8.25 a glass.
Wine Prices on Royal Caribbean Cruises
After a long day ashore or on the pool deck, we love to settle into one of the ship’s main dining rooms for dinner. Here, we can enjoy a three-course dinner with a glass or two of wine to enhance the meal. Regardless of the venue, all Royal Caribbean bars offer wines by the glass. The label and varietals vary, even within the ship. So, for wine aficionados, it is best to ask the onboard sommelier which wines are served at which bars.
When it comes to Royal Caribbean drink prices, wine prices fluctuate the most. A glass of wine costs from $8 for a Beringer White Zinfandel to $22 for a glass of Moet & Chandon champagne.
Wine by the Glass Prices:
| Wine Type | Royal Caribbean Drink Price |
| Prosecco | $8.00 |
| Sparkling Rosé | $8.00 |
| White Zinfandel | $8.00 |
| Pinot Grigio | $10.00 |
| Sauvignon Blanc | $10.00 |
| Chardonnay | $11.00 |
| White Blend | $16.00 |
| Rosé | $13.00 |
| Whispering Angel | $14.00 |
| Pinot Noir | $12.00 |
| Merlot | $12.00 |
| Cabernet Sauvignon | $12.00 |
| Malbec | $14.00 |
| Champagne | $22.00 |
Still, in our experience, most glasses of wine on Royal Caribbean are around $11 a serving, which is well within the drink package allotments.
On Royal Caribbean ships, there are often dedicated wine bars, from Vintages on ships like Oasis of the Seas and Freedom of the Seas to Giovanni’s Wine Bar on Wonder of the Seas and Icon of the Seas. These wine-specific venues will have a greater selection of wines, but many come with higher Royal Caribbean drink prices.
How much is a bottle of wine on Royal Caribbean?
We often get asked about the cost of wine bottles specifically. While none of the Royal Caribbean drink packages cover bottles of wine, guests who purchase the Deluxe drink package will receive a 40% discount on bottled wines priced up to $100, and 20% discount on wine priced above $100.
As one would expect, bottles of wine vary greatly depending on the label, brand, and vintage. Most bottles of wine are priced around $50 to $60. Of course, you can find some selections in the $40 range, or you can splurge for a $231 bottle of Dom Perignon while on vacation. For example, on our recent Icon of the Seas sailing, we found:
- House red and white wine bottles: $39-45
- Mid-range popular varietals: $49-65
- Premium selections: $75-120
- Champagne and specialty wines: $120-231+
Pro Tip: If you are a wine connoisseur, then you will want to take advantage of our expert cruise tips. We’ve learned that you are allowed to bring two bottles of wine, per cabin, onboard in your carry-on luggage. Although, be aware that Royal Caribbean does charge a corkage fee if you want to enjoy your wine in a restaurant instead of your stateroom.
Cocktail and Mixed Drink Prices on Royal Caribbean Ships
“How much are drinks on Royal Caribbean cruises?” is one of the most common questions we hear from first-time cruisers.
For alcoholic beverages, you can expect to pay between $7.49 (for a domestic beer) and $14.00 (for a signature cocktail), with the average cost of alcoholic drinks on Royal Caribbean being around $11-$12 before the 18% gratuity.
One of our favorite additions to the pool deck on many Royal Caribbean ships is the Lime & Coconut bars. Along with the namesake signature cocktail, this bar is home to many fruity cocktails and classic Caribbean-inspired drinks.
Among our favorites are the Passion Spritz and the Pineapple Guava Sangria. All of these signature drinks cost $14.00, which is the maximum Royal Caribbean drink price covered in the Deluxe Beverage Package.
Poolside Cocktail Prices:
| Cocktail | Royal Caribbean Drink Price |
| Lime & Coconut | $14.00 |
| Planter’s Punch | $14.00 |
| The Painkiller | $14.00 |
| Goombay Smash | $14.00 |
| Papa Jac | $14.00 |
| Watermelon ‘Rita | $14.00 |
| Rum Punch | $14.00 |
| Caribbean Mule | $14.00 |
| Pineapple Guava Sangria | $14.00 |
| Passion Spritz | $14.00 |
Heidi is a fan of cocktails. So, you’ll probably find us at the ship’s martini bars in the evenings.
Some of our favorite lounges on a Royal Caribbean ship include the Schooner Bar and the new 1400 Lobby Bar on Icon of the Seas. Many of these bars feature signature cocktails. For the most part, these cocktails are between $12 to $14. This is true at other bars, like the Music Hall, Boleros, or On Air, as well.
Royal Caribbean also updated its standard drink menu in 2021. With this update, the cruise line launched several new signature cocktails. These new favorites can be found at almost any bar in the RCI fleet.
The Royal Caribbean drink prices for these signature specialty cocktails are $14:
Specialty Cocktail Menu:
| Cocktail | Royal Caribbean Drink Price |
| Dark ‘N’ Stormy | $14.00 |
| Planter’s Punch | $14.00 |
| The Painkiller | $14.00 |
| Goombay Smash | $14.00 |
| Papa Jac | $14.00 |
| Rum Punch | $14.00 |
| Pineapple Guava Sangria | $14.00 |
| Strawberry Blonde | $14.00 |
| Scarlett’s Tropical Sangria | $14.00 |
| Cozumel Sunrise | $14.00 |
| Thyme for Gin | $14.00 |
| Mint Berry Delight | $14.00 |
| Caribbean Mule | $14.00 |
| Cool as a Cucumber | $14.00 |
| Handcrafted Margarita | $14.00 |
| Passion Spritz | $14.00 |
| Rum Old Fashioned | $14.00 |
| Roll and Rye | $14.00 |
| Mezcal Mule | $14.00 |
| Kentucky Summer | $14.00 |
In addition, Royal Caribbean boasts a wide selection of spirits, liquors, and aperitifs. For the most part, one serving of these libations is between $10.99 to $13.99. Selections vary from ship to ship. So, it’s best to check with a bar manager early in the cruise to see if that vessel stocks your preferred spirits.
Having sailed on multiple Royal Caribbean ships, we’ve found that unless you’re looking for a super-premium brand, the mixed drinks and cocktails on Royal Caribbean ships will cost between $11 and $14.
Royal Caribbean Drink Package Costs: Are They Worth It?
For the past couple of years, we’ve been tracking Royal Caribbean drink prices on their ships. Thankfully, we’ve found that individual drink prices have not increased substantially. Although, we have noticed that the prices of Royal Caribbean’s drink packages have gone up quite a bit in the last two years.
Royal Caribbean drink packages have dynamic pricing. This means that the price will vary based on ship, time of year, and itinerary.
2025 Royal Caribbean Drink Package Options and Pricing:
| Package | Current Price Range | What’s Included |
| Deluxe Beverage Package | $63-$120 per day | All alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages up to $14 per serving |
| Royal Refreshment Package | $29-$42 per day | All non-alcoholic beverages including premium coffee, fresh juice, bottled water |
| Classic Soda Package | $12-$18 per day | Unlimited fountain sodas with souvenir cup |
| Café Select Coffee Card | $31 (not per day) | 15 specialty coffees (excluding Starbucks) |
All Royal Caribbean drink package prices are subject to 18% gratuity
Historically, the onboard price of the Deluxe Beverage Package ranges from $63 to $98 a day (plus gratuity). However, in 2024, the Deluxe Drink Package can start at a price as high as $120 a person, per day. This package covers all alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, including beer, wine by the glass, and cocktails up to $14.
Prices for the non-alcoholic Royal Caribbean drink packages are obviously much cheaper:
- Royal Refreshment Drink Package: $29-38 per person, per day
- Classic Soda Package: $12.99-$15 per person, per day
- Café Select Coffee Card: $31 for 15 drinks
Is the Royal Caribbean Drink Package Worth It? Our Break-Even Analysis:
To break even on the Deluxe Package (assuming $89/day average price plus 18% gratuity = $105/day):
- Beer Only: 12-13 beers per day
- Wine Only: 8-9 glasses per day
- Cocktails Only: 7-8 cocktails per day
- Mixed Consumption: ~6-7 total alcoholic drinks plus coffee/water
Keep in mind that Royal Caribbean drink packages are “unlimited” for the duration of the cruise, unlike some other cruise lines which limit guests to a specific number of drinks per day.
For most guests, your decision comes down to your drinking habits:
- Light drinkers are typically better off paying à la carte
- Moderate drinkers should watch for pre-cruise drink package sales
- Heavy drinkers will almost always save money with the Deluxe Beverage Package
Remember that all the complimentary beverage options ensure you’ll never go thirsty on your cruise, regardless of what you choose to spend on premium options.
In our experiences, it’s usually not too difficult to realize a cost savings with these packages, especially if you consume specialty coffee drinks, soda, and bottled water in addition to alcoholic beverages. Of course, it really depends though just how much the drink package costs for your particular sailing.
If you are still unsure, we always suggest that if you see a deal on a Royal Caribbean drink package, you should buy it. You can always cancel later if you find a better price or decide the drink package isn’t worth it.
7 Ways We Save Money on Royal Caribbean Drinks
Through our many Royal Caribbean cruises, we’ve developed several strategies to save on beverage costs:
- Pre-purchase packages during sales: We regularly see Royal Caribbean offer 20-40% discounts on drink packages before sailing. We always check the Cruise Planner website after booking.
- Attend welcome parties and events: Many sailings offer complimentary drinks during the Captain’s Welcome Party or Crown & Anchor Society events.
- Take advantage of happy hours: Some Royal Caribbean bars offer daily happy hours with discounted drinks. You can also take advantage of deals like a bucket or beers.
- Utilize Diamond/Diamond Plus benefits: We receive complimentary drinks vouchers as Crown & Anchor loyalty members. We use these to purchase signature cocktails and then buy a coffee card or cases of water when they are on sale instead of purchasing the Deluxe Drink Package.
- Check daily drink specials: Look for the “Drink of the Day” which is typically discounted by $1-2.
- Bring your own allowance: Bring two bottles of wine per stateroom.
- Purchase drinks in port: When visiting ports of call, drinks ashore are often significantly cheaper than Royal Caribbean drink prices onboard.
Frequently Asked Questions About Royal Caribbean Drink Prices
What is the average cost of alcoholic drinks on Royal Caribbean?
Typically, the average alcoholic drink costs between $11-$12 before the 18% gratuity. Beers typically cost $7.49-$8.25, wine by the glass averages $11 (ranging from $8-$22), and cocktails range from $11 for basic mixed drinks to $14 for signature cocktails.
Can I share a drink package with someone else?
No. Royal Caribbean strictly enforces a policy that if one adult in a stateroom purchases a Deluxe Beverage Package, all adults in that stateroom must purchase it as well. If the second person in the stateroom is a minor, guests are not required to purchase a Soda package or the Royal Refreshment package.
Is there a limit to how many drinks I can get with the Deluxe Package?
Unlike some other cruise lines, Royal Caribbean does not impose a daily limit on the number of drinks you can order with their packages. However, remember that staff can deny you service if you are intoxicated. So, it is best to drink responsibly and to ensure you drink plenty of water alongside any alcoholic beverages. There is no use trying to “get your money’s worth” and ending up sick and unable to enjoy the rest of the cruise.
Do Royal Caribbean drink prices vary between ships?
In our experience sailing on multiple ships, drink prices are standardized across the fleet, but specialty venues on newer ships might offer exclusive drinks not available fleetwide.
Do drink package prices ever go on sale?
Absolutely! We’ve purchased Royal Caribbean drink packages at 30-40% off the onboard price by watching for pre-cruise sales. Check your Cruise Planner regularly after booking. Remember, you can always cancel if you find a cheaper price or decide the drink package is not worth it for your trip.
Can I buy individual drinks even if I have a drink package?
Yes, your package covers drinks up to $14 in value. If you want a more premium option, you’ll pay the difference plus the service charge on that difference. For example, if you purchase a glass of wine that is $18, you will receive a $14 credit. This means you will need to pay $4 plus $0.72 gratuity, for a total of $4.72.
How can I keep track of my bar tab if I don’t have a package?
You can check your onboard expense account through the Royal Caribbean app or on your stateroom TV.

If you’re going on a five night cruise and two of those days are at an island that is not owned by RC, is it really worth it to get the total beverage package? You’re paying for it and you can’t even use it during the day. How many drinks do you need to consume a day for it to be worth it?
fauve fleurant
hey im guessing these prices re all American 🙁
Don Bucolo
Yes, all of the prices quoted are USD.
Susan
We’ve cruised RC a number of times without the drink package. Last time we splurged for it and I swear I’ll never cruise without it again. I tried many cocktails I’d never had and enjoyed specialty coffees and soda. The freedom to have wine with dinner or an espresso martini after dinner without making a financial decision each time enhanced my trip!
Elle
No, prices are not fair! We paid $1,420.44 which included a discount for buy one/get one 50% off ($101 per person/per day). If historically, prices ranged from $63 – $98, this is no deal at all.
Sherry Callihan
Can you bring your own soda and water on board?
Laura
Yes each person can bring 1 12 pack of soda on board
Joeblow
Yes
Richard
Drinks package ×2,,,,No,,,,,,you are pricing me out…..we will be getting off on port days !
Jen
Johnny rocket milkshakes are included in the refreshment package
Zee
I keep hearing that Johnny Rocket shakes are included in the package yet the restaurant itself lunch and dinner is a specialty restaurant. If you have the drink package, is this true? And are you able to order only a shake a la carte? How much would that usually be? Thanks.
Jerry
We sailed symphony of the seas in sept 2022 and Johnny rockets shakes were included in the deluxe drink package. Food was extra.

Cheryl Celea
my husband an I have been loyal to Royal Caribbean for many years and we are Diamond plus Crown and Anchor members.
I read what the drink packages are worth on cruises out of the US but when it comes to cruises out of Australia the amount per day is much higher. As our dollar is value lower than the $US it makes no sense to charge us more in Australian dollars as all our expenses on board are converted to $US dollars so you get you money back three times over. Have a little consideration for those outside the US who remain loyal to your Company. The new drink system you brought in where we get 5 drinks a day doesn’t cut it for Crown and Anchor members. By the time we have a fresh juice in the morning along with a decent coffee and a bottle of water …we have 2 drinks left for the day- its not such a great package when you look at it closely, hence the reason we always purchase a deluxe drink package. Perhaps around $90 per day based on the tier you are on, would be considerable if you people really care about loyalty.
S.
Not complain too much on the cost I have to pay in Canadian dollars so add 35% to the cost
And still worth it. 2 specialty coffees every day plus the copious amounts of bottled water and the cocktails well. We are diamond members I just give mopey free drinks to crew buy the red bulls or what ever they want. You all know what you are getting into when you cruise and drink. That’s a lot like going to a hockey game and complaining about the price of a beer.
Joeblow
You can pay for juice, coffee, soda and save your vouchers for the more expensive alcohol. Just tell the server not to use the voucher
Nick T.
Really Lady?
You want to gripe and complain that you ONLY get 5 complimentary beverages per person/ per day?!?
Oh, the Horror!!
I’m Crown & Anchor Emerald, not Diamond or Diamond Plus (Yet), so I don’t receive your (rather generous) Daily 5 Complimentary Beverages benefit. For my upcoming 9 night sailing to Hawaii, the Unlimited Beverage Package is USD$90 per-person/per-day (Pp/Pd). I figure on average my Fiancé and I will each consume; 2 bottled h20 ($3.50ea.), 2 Sodas ($3.50ea.) 1-2 Specialty Coffees ($4.50ea.) a glass of Wine with Dinner ($11.00ea.) and 3-4 Cocktails ($14.00ea.) every day of the cruise. That’s a whole lotta booze and beverages for one person in a day, and the package price comes to approximately what we’d pay for those quantities without it. So at 2 people sailing for 9 nights at USD$90 Pp/Pd, that comes to USD$1620 for the cruise (not including gratuity).
IF I had your VERY GENEROUS benefit that you’re here complaining about, I could use said benefit for the Booze (most expensive part of the beverage tab) and pay out-of-pocket for the rest. In my scenario, that’s a savings of USD$67 Pp/Pd, or USD$1206 for the entire sailing.
Now maybe only 3-4 Boozy Beverages a day is a joke to you, and if so, kudos to your Aussie livers -that’s impressive!
My point is, a benefit that can save you well over USD$1K is nothing to sneer at, and we (Crown & Anchor Members) are lucky Royal Caribbean hasn’t scaled it back, reserved it for only the highest echelon (Pinnacle) or outright eliminated it! Be happy with what you (so deservingly) have earned, and have fun -you’re on vacation!
