They will allow your husband to purchase the Refreshment package instead of the full alcohol package, but that is about as much as they will waive.  You need to call to do this.

Thanks. All this help is very much appreciated. My Travel agent said it was a no, but I will call and keep my fingers crossed. 

one more question. I have heard that both people in a room need to purchase the drink package. My husband is a diabetic and doesn't really drink. (messes with his medication).  Do you happen to know if RCCL will waive this policy if there is a medical reason. It just doesn't make sense for him to purchase it if all he's going to buy is soda and coffees.

 Thank you!

For cruises based out of the US, 18% is added to the drink menu prices.

so if a glass of wine that is listed as say $10 on the menu will have an additional 1.80 added onto the bill making the bill read $11.80 and no additional tip is needed. Is that correct?  (it is not already incorporated into the $10 price? Trying to make an informed decision about purchasing the drink package

Does any one know if tips are already included in the price of individually purchased alcoholic drinks? I am hearing mixed answers. I know they add an 18% service charge to the packages but what about just a single drink. included in the advertised price or automatically added on top of the price? Thanks for the help.
