Past Cruisers can you tell me how much beer, pop and mixed drinks are?

Question

I am going on a royal caribbean cruise and need to know from someone who has been recently on a cruise how much these are. Past cruisers only please. Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

If you enjoy soda, or mixed drinks, etc. you may be better off getting the packages they offer. The drinks can add up pretty fast.

For adults the package is for unlimited soda from the fountain, meaning no cans, and juice. You get a cup for your drink and then they put a stick on your card so that when you go to get a drink you are not charged. It costs $6.00 per person for each day of te cruise and they also charge 15% for tip.  

For anyone under 18 it is the same package, but the cost is only $4.00 per day plus the 15% tip. (I've also included a link to Royal Caribbeans site where they discuss the drink packages.)

I believe that the adult package for 12 alcoholic drinks is around $45 plus the $15%

Canned sodas are $1.50 each.

A regular soda, I think is around $2.00 or $3.00 but I can't remember off the top of my head.

Alcoholic drinks run around $6.00 depending on what you get, some are a little more, some are less.

Wine really just depends on what you get, like most other places.

Beer is around $4.00

And don't forget, anything you order at the bar, even soda, the 15% tip is added in.

Have a great time!

Answer 2

If I remember correctly from last summer, beer was about $4.25. That was for a Sam Adams. I don't know how much for the cheaper beer.

I paid about $7-8 for a pina colada.

I didn't have any pop on the cruise ship, i think they were about $2/drink.

Sorry, i don't have exact numbers. I was trying not to look at the bill as to not worry about money on the trip. ha ha.

Answer 3

The only problem with the soda packages on the RC is the bartenders will hardly serve you because they don't get the 15% gratuity they get from the mixed/bar drinks.

Every time we approached the bar for a soda refill, we were ignored until everyone else was served.

It was so bad that I reported it to the pursers office on the Rhapsody of the Sea.

Answer 4

I have been on RC 5 times.Pop packages can be purchased for 6.00 per person per day on most ships and that is unlimited fountain drinks. Canned pop was 2.00 plus tip. Beer was around 4.50 a can and mixed drinks range from 5-8 dollars. They usually has a special of the day for 5.95 and you got to keep the plastic glass. These were frozen drinks. To save money we always bought a 2 liter of pop when we got to a port. That way you always have some in your room when you want it. Have a good time.

Answer 5

It can add up quickly. For example,  $4 for a very small margarita, and $7 for a "large" that wasn't really very big.  (15% gratuity added on to every drink order, even when you order a coke and pick it up yourself at the bar.)  Cokes are about $2.00.

Beer prices run from about $3.50 for domestics (Bud, Miller Lite) to $4.50 or $5 for premiums, plus the automatic 15% gratuity on top of those prices.
