Royal Caribbean drink package price tracker

The Deluxe Beverage Package is the single most volatile add-on in the Cruise Planner. Royal Radar watches its per-day price around the clock so you buy on the dip, not the spike.

01

What you are tracking

Royal Caribbean sells drinks as a per-day, per-guest package: the Deluxe Beverage Package (cocktails, wine, beer, and soda), the Refreshment Package (mocktails, specialty coffee, and soda), and the Classic Soda Package. Cruise Planner pricing is quoted per day and multiplied across every day of your sailing, so a few dollars of movement is real money by the time you board.

02

Why the price moves

The drink package goes on sale almost every week, usually as a percentage off, then quietly resets to a higher anchor between promotions. The same package can read $63 a day one week and $89 the next on the identical sailing. Wave Season (January to March), Black Friday, and the 60-day-out window tend to surface the deepest cuts.

03

How Royal Radar tracks it

Add your ship and sail date and we pull the live Cruise Planner price for every beverage package on that sailing, rechecking every few hours. You get a 90-day history, the all-time low we have seen, and a clear buy-now or wait call so you are not refreshing the page hoping for a drop.

Questions

Beverage packages, answered.

When is the Royal Caribbean drink package cheapest?
There is no single best day, which is exactly why tracking helps. The deepest cuts cluster around Wave Season (January to March), Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and the 60-day-out window before sailing. Royal Radar tells you when your sailing specifically hits a low, instead of guessing from generic advice.
Can I rebook the drink package at a lower price after I buy it?
Yes. The Cruise Planner lets you cancel a pre-cruise purchase for a full refund and rebuy at the new price up to about 48 hours before you sail. When the price drops below what you paid, Royal Radar flags it so you can cancel and rebuy in a couple of taps.
Does it track the Refreshment and soda packages too?
Yes. We track every beverage package offered on your sailing, including the Deluxe Beverage Package, the Refreshment Package, and the Classic Soda Package, each with its own history and alert.
