The new unnlimited beverage packages will be available for guests purchase starting today, November 15th on all ships, and pre-purchase online the first week of December at http://www.royalcaribbean.com/beforeyouboard/cruiseEnhancements.do or by calling our pre-cruise planning specialists at 1-800-398-9819. Once available online, you can purchase them approximately 2 months before sail date.

 

 

All package prices include the 15% gratuity. Also the the basic soda package and water package stay intact.

 

 

Guests who have already bought a ‘Classic’ package prior to the changes in November/December 2013, will receive the new Select package once on board and a refund to their onboard account for the $5 per day difference in pricing.

 

 

Guests who have already bought a ‘Premium’ package prior to the changes in November/December 2013, will receive the new Premium package once on board. If they wish to upgrade to the new Ultimate package, this can be done at a cost added to their onboard account of the $10 per day difference in pricing.

Thanks for posting this :)

 

As someone who almost never drinks alcohol, I love the replenish package as an option.

[SRV FAN]

I have no idea what "Still" water is tho.... Anyone know?

[Merion_Mom]

No bubbles. :)

I assume they just meant a bottled water that does not have gas in it. I don't like the bubbles and here in Germany that means ordering "still water" when out.

[SRV FAN]

No bubbles. :)

 

Makes sense. But the "Ultimate Package" offers three kinds of "Bottled" water....

Bottled water

Sparkling water (375ml)

Still water (500ml)

 

The first one (I assume) also has no bubbles.... I am confused!

Thanks!!

[shutterbug63]

Nice packages. Hard for me to justify the cost, though, when I'm not a big drinker. I'm fine with the ship's water & tend to avoid juices because of the sugar. Glad to see they're making some changes, though.

 

We'll stick with just the soda package. Goodness knows, my 11 year old wouldn't survive without it. :-)

[Priusprof]

The Ultimate Package is a $910 bar tab for a week for two people in a cabin.:eek:

I can't imagine that for us but each cruisers needs are different.

Oh come on SRV FAN. You're in Big XII Country. Surely you know that Stillwater is the home of Oklahoma State University.

When on Celebrity the classic pkg could have the large bottled water but only the premium could get the smaller 500ml size of still water. Perhaps that is what this is also.

[debt]

I'm assuming premium coffee are the specialty coffee drinks at the promenade cafe. But what exactly are specialty teas and can you get the bottled water in the mini fridge in your cabin with the $20 package?

[Desert Cruizers]

Even the $40/day, my husband would have to drink a lot of beer everyday and if a port day, he would never make it. He drinks his fair share at home but not that much. An 18 pack will last him around 5 days.

do they still over soda pkg alone??

[MouseGirl]

Hi there,

 

Just had a quick question I was hoping someone could answer a question regarding the Royal Replenish Package. It says that it includes non-alcoholic cocktails. Does that include non-alcoholic frozen drinks? I love virgin Pina Coladas but wasn't sure if they would be covered.

 

Thanks very much,

MouseGirl

When I've seen this list before, it's been

 

Bottled water:

Sparkling water (375ml)

Still water (500ml)

Question, sister in law does not drink are you saying that her husband can purchase the premium and she can purchase the Royal Replenish or do both people in the stateroom need to have the same package?

Under the new rules they can each have different packages!:D

[Cruisegirl6]

Thanks RC for the choices!

[At Sea 4Ever]

Anyone know if Starbucks is included?

[CDNtexascruiser]

Does anyone know what beers might be included? I'll be on the Adventure of the Seas in December and I'm wondering if any of the imports are included in the premium package.

From what I understand, it's any beer except the Fosters Oil Can

I think we need to wait on that until the first cruisers under it come back. The previous package excepted most of the British beers...and others (I was paying attention to Guiness and Smithwicks and Boddington)

Here's the beer menu:

In the previous version of the package, only the beers with the asterisk were excluded. I'm guessing that the new package is at least as good as the old package.

So it appears the rumors of Red Bull being included in the Ultimate we're just that, correct? I think the stuff is poison but hubby likes it in the morning.
