Royal has never had a minimum time between non-Freestyle machine drinks.

[Artemus]

I didn’t think we were allowed to say Carnival on this forum.

You can, you just also have to mention "trailer park" or "Walmart" in the same post!

Royal never had that rule....

[tOSUSteve]

Only time restriction we have ever noticed was on a free-style machine.  Not sure if it was just a glitch since it did not seem to be consistent enough to determine a pattern.

[ourfamilylovescruising]

sorry I meant 15 minutes between drinks not a 15 minimum 

[ourfamilylovescruising]

the last time we were on royal that was the rule.

 

 we were used to NCL where they would even let you get 2 drinks at a time

Other than the Freestyle machines, I've never seen a minimum time period reported for Royal.

I never tried.....15 minutes seem reasonable to have drink.  My chugging days are over.  Now I enjoy.

I never experienced a "wait time" between drinks....matter of fact, my last cruise we had a bartender out by the pool who would ask us if we wanted another when he brought our drinks and kept them rolling!!  It was awesome service and of course I looked him up on the last day and made sure to tip him extra!

Curious what ship you were on and when this rule was in place.

My memory is not what it used to be but I recall a time limit between drinks when the unlimited drink package first came out.

This was way back when only one person per cabin could order it without hassle. 

Ever since both passengers were required to purchase a package, I have not experienced a time limit between drinks.

That said, like most Royal Caribbean policies, I am sure it varies between ships!!

On a related note, if there are two people in a cabin can one person go get drinks for both or do both have to present themselves at the bar? I am also used to Norwegian or it was no problem since they let you have two anyway.

One person can go get drinks for two as long as both SeaPass cards are presented.

no, we have never had a problem.  At the Freestyle machines I think it is 20 minutes.  We typically don't order another drink before 15 minutes, but there are no limits like there are on Carnival

I've never seen any reports of a waiting period on RC between alcoholic drinks or coffee drinks.

On our last cruise I went to the bar right away and ordered a rum and coke.  I took one sip and got his attention and ordered a shot of rum.  He looked at me curiously and glanced that my still full drink and then turned around and got me shot.  I proceeded to pour it into my rum and coke.  Other than the momentary look, he didn't restrict me.

 

I am pretty sure if I were drunk and asked for that, he might refuse.  I think as long as you are nice and well behaved, they will serve you as much as you want.  One day I had 18 drinks!  Not all at once, but through the day.  A shot of Kahlua in my coffee is a good start.  Each day varies from there.  :-)

It is great to break even on the package on day 2.
