Many cruisers buy the Deluxe Beverage Package not because they expect to break even or get ahead every day but to have the peace of mind of not getting an added bill. Royal Caribbean's deluxe package brings passengers cost certainty for the drinks portion of their cruise.

Royal Caribbean hears from its loyal passengers when the cruise line makes a move they don't like. Many "Loyal to Royal" cruisers, for example, have expressed their displeasure with the cruise line's recent decision to move most of its Oasis-Class ships to shorter 3- and 4-day sailings.
