2019 Free drinks promotion....

[citizenfrank]

Looking at booking Oasis's transatlantic cruise from PC to Barcelona next April.

The two of us & our 16 year old.

The cruise has the deluxe drink package for the two of us & the refreshment package for our son ...'FREE'

Are there hidden costs such as paying the gratuities on each drink aboard?

Our previous transatlantic was with NCL Epic in 2016 including the free drinks package (before they changed there remit on drinks to all inclusive) & that had no hidden extras.

We were on Carnival Magic in April with the pre-purchased Cheers programme without gratuities.

But wondering on this one with RCI as it is a 'free' gift.

Booking will be made here in the UK.

Please advise?

Thank you

Royal has been different than NCL with the drink pacage costs. Royal does not charge gratuities on the "free" drink packages, nor do they charge gratuities at the time drinks are ordered.
