Royal Caribbean is the nextcruise line to throw their hat in the ring to provide an all-inclusive drink experience to their guests.
Guests
interested in an alcohol-inclusive beverage package have a choice of
the Classic Beverage Package for $45 per guest, per day, or the
Premium Beverage Package for $55 per guest, per day, both inclusive
of a service charge. The Classic features beer, house wines by the
glass, as well as all non-alcoholic cocktails, fountain soda
and juices. The all-inclusive Premium package features the
afore-mentioned, as well as frozen drinks and all cocktails including
premium brands.
Beverage
packages are available for purchase on all seven-night or longer
sailings and must be purchased on the first
day. Guests choosing either package also must
purchase the package for guests 21 years old or older sailing in the
same stateroom. Packages are currently available on 13 ships and will
be available on the remaining ships with seven-night or longer
itineraries by early 2013.
Carnival
and Celebrity Cruises are a couple of lines with the all-inclusive
package while Norwegian Cruise Line was testing it out over
the summer.
