Finzie2 Posted April 4, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Hi all, we are first time cruisers leaving a week from today, traveling from Tampa on Brilliance. We have ordered the deluxe drink package. When does that start - is it effective when we board the ship, or when we set sail? I have had mixed answers on this from other people I know who have cruised before.

Clarea Posted April 4, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 4, 2019 The drink package is effective from the moment you walk on the ship. If you don't get your SeaPass cards at check-in, you can use your SetSail (boarding) pass to order drinks on your package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nanowerx Posted April 4, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) The Drink Package is available to use the minute you get on the ship until the time you disembark from the ship (assuming a bar is open to serve, which there most likely will be.). Even on port days, if you stay on the ship you can enjoy your package. Another note, if your sailing goes to Labadee or Coco Cay, you can actually use your drink package on those islands too since RC owns them.

And if the rooms aren't open yet so you don't yet have your key card, no worries, they'll use your set sail pass to let you order 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several years ago Royal offered a single day drink package also just to use on the private island (coco cay or labadee) do you know if they still offer that option? I think it was $50 to drink all day on the island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also know to do a margarita or two or three during cruise. I am normally a wine drinker at home, but on a cruise I make exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're on board!") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
