Last week, we asked for your opinion on Royal Caribbean’s new beverage packages.  We got some serious responses as well as humorous ones   A large majority of respondents would not buy the packages, in most cases because their drinking habits are moderate.  Some felt that having a liquor package might encourage irresponsible drinking behavior.

Based on the price of drinks on Royal Caribbean ships, the break even point would be about five drinks per day.    While a ship is at sea, this might not be too hard to do.  However, when your ship is at a port and you are off the ship, you might have a hard time breaking even.

If you enjoy alcoholic beverages these packages could be a good deal.  However, plan to spend your non-drinking time in the gym because that is a heck of a lot of calories you are consuming.

We completely agree with those who were outraged by Royal Caribbean insistence that if one person in the cabin purchases a package, everyone over 21 years must also buy it.

Of those who responded, Malachy Chodorov of Warwick,PA was randomly selected to win a $25 gift card.
