topcop Posted February 1, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 1, 2016 What is the average price of a mixed drink (cocktail) on RC? We are cruising on the Navigator and for the most part drink Tangueray Gin and Tonic and perhaps one or two of their "drink of the day" like a Bahama Momma. My wife and I usually have about 4-5 alcoholic beverages a day and wonder if the beverage package would be worth it. If you have the package what prevents me from buying two drinks and giving one to my wife? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted February 1, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Beverage packages are sold individually and the typical break even is about 6 drinks per day, every day. The drinks are sold individually and multiple purchases per card at one time are not permitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted February 1, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 1, 2016 You aren't allowed 2 drinks at once on the package. I guess you could get one drink at this bar, then go to that bar, and get another, and give it to someone...but you'd spend most of your day walking miles from bar to bar to "cheat" the system.....

rykaydad Posted February 1, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 1, 2016 In addition to mixed drink prices, what is the typical price for beer? Also, is there any Beverage Package discount for Platinum members (I don't know why I don't already know this)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouhunter Posted February 1, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Nothing "preventing" you from cheating (stealing) if that's what you really want to do. Edited February 1, 2016 by bouhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fleetwide discount for C&A members yet, though some ships seem to be experimenting with discounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcop Posted February 2, 2016 Author #11 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Thanks for the info. Don't drink enough to be worthwhile. And wasn't planning to "cheat" the system or steal. Just curious as to how they monitor and prevent it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoverOfMutts Posted February 2, 2016 #12 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Basic cocktails $8 to $10. Fancy cocktails $12 to $14. So, do you think they have hairy navels? and if so, would it be a basic or fancy? :p Edited February 2, 2016 by MoverOfMutts spell check! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoverOfMutts Posted February 2, 2016 #14 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Nothing "preventing" you from cheating (stealing) if that's what you really want to do. I'm curious about "trading" drinks. Not stealing---more a work around. My sister (non drinker) and I are cabin mates. A friend of ours (non drinker) is traveling solo in a cabin. I don't want to get a drink (w/alcohol) pkg for me because that would mean sis has to have the same. I can't drink enough to justify TWO packages, as much as I would be willing to try:D. But if friend and I are hanging together, I get what he wants, he gets what I want and we switch. Same is going to RC, just not allowing them to screw me. Suggestions? At this point I'm just going with RR and buying one drink at a time :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted February 3, 2016 #23 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I don't think so, seems low on the liquor prices. I agree. Also, there does not seem to be so many different prices any more. Many drinks are a flat $12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadPhish Posted February 3, 2016 #25 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Can anyone verify if this drink price list is accurate for 2016. http://www.cruisemapper.com/wiki/708-royal-caribbean-alcohol-policy-drink-prices Those prices are definitely lower. Looking at my picutres from the Schooner bar ... Beer/cider ranges from $5.50 to $6 for the 16oz aluminum bottles. More for some of the import/crafts. Named mixed drinks (Collins, Old Fashioned, Mai-Tai, Mojitos, run drinks) are generally $10. Fancier ones are $12. Not much over that though. Also I'm just getting these from the Schooner bar on the Majesty. The prices could be different in other bars or ships.
