Cruise Advisor planning guide. Verify changing prices, policies and itineraries with the relevant provider before booking.
This Royal Caribbean drinks package prices 2026 UK complete guide tells you everything you need to know about costs, value and how to save money on board in 2026. If you’re planning a cruise from Southampton, a fly-cruise from London or a European sailing, this guide explains the Deluxe Beverage Package, Refreshment Package, Classic Soda Package and more — with UK prices in £, examples for popular ships like Symphony of the Seas and Icon of the Seas, and smart tips for British cruisers.
In short: in 2026 Royal Caribbean’s Deluxe Beverage Package typically costs around £65–£75 per person per day in the UK, the Refreshment Package £24–£28 per day and the Classic Soda Package about £8–£11 per day. Exact prices vary by ship, itinerary and promotions; buying pre-cruise online or as part of a cruise fare often saves money.
Royal Caribbean still offers tiered drink packages in 2026. The packages are charged per person per day and apply to every night you are on board (including embarkation day for most itineraries). You can typically buy packages before you cruise through Royal Caribbean’s website, through your travel agent or on board at a higher price. Key package types you'll see are the Deluxe Beverage Package (alcoholic), the Refreshment Package (non- and low-alcohol options plus specialty coffee), the Classic Soda Package, and the Coffee & Tea Package. Packages may include gratuities for each drink — in 2026 the daily package price quoted by Royal Caribbean usually includes service charges, so check your booking for the final per-day cost in £.
One practical point for UK travellers: drinks purchased in bars ashore at ports of call are not covered by the ship package. Also, Royal Caribbean’s policy requires if one adult in a cabin purchases the Deluxe Beverage Package, all other adults in the same stateroom must buy it as well — a ‘buy for all’ rule that still applies in 2026.
