Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines seems to be following suit when it comes to drink package pricing. Only a few days after Norwegian Cruise Lines announced a record high increase of their beverage package prices, Royal Caribbean added an increase to their beverage package on their website.
Their deluxe beverage package price will increase from $57-63 per day to $63-70 per day. The refreshment package will now be a flat $29 per day. The soda package has the largest increase. It has gone from $8.50-9.50 per day to $12.99 per day. The increase in pricing will go into effect for 2019 sailings.
Stay tuned to see if this will become a trend across the entire cruise industry.
