Drinking on a cruise?

How expensive are drinks on a cruise?  

We're taking Allure of the Seas (RC) and I anticipate having a couple drinks by the pool during the day and a few at night... I'm worried of how expensive they will be....

TIA!

Re: Drinking on a cruise?

  • they really aren't any more expensive than drinks in a big city.

    a beer is going to run you about $4 - $5.  If you go over to cruise critic.com forums, this info is floating around there all the time.

    if you are a partier, the drinks definitely add up over the course of a week.  we bring on the max bottles of wine that the ship allows to defer some of the costs.

  • i find that the drinks on the cruises are less than i pay at a bar or restaurant at home. they always have a daily drink specials so check those out. they also have wine deals for dinner and soda cards.

  • We were on Voyager of the Seas in March. Beers were $4-6, mixed drinks were more expensive. We snuck wine and rum on board in Rum Runner flasks.

  • The fruity drinks of the day run anywhere from $7-12 depending on the cool vessel they are in.  I find buckets of beer work well cuz you save a few bucks, and a few drinks to the bar (or flagging someone down!)

    We also do rum runners in our luggage, get the fountain card, carry a flask and make our own rum and cokes when we aren't drinking fruity drinks, beer or wine.

    Have fun!  The allure is awesome!

  • Be on the lookout for drink specials & you can save money. You can often get beer by the bucket -- buy 5 get one free. Do NOT get the souveiner cups; they add to the price of thr drink. If you must have one, get it refilled. Don't keep collecting them. Keep your receipts for everything you buy on board & check your account balance periodically throughout the trip so you can see if you are on budget.

    rccl now allows 2 -750 mL bottles wine to be brought on board.  If you open it in a public space (bar/dinning room) they charge a $25 corkage fee. 

     

    The trial drink package rollout is on Oasis and Allure at the moment, I believe it was ~$55 a day.  Cruise critic rccl board has more info

     

     

    The bar prices are the same or lower than at home.

  • My husband and I through an entire week on the Oasis of the seas spent about 500-600 on alcohol throughout the week that we were on board if that helps at all :) We are both moderate drinkers (or we were on that trip anyway) have a few drinks at night and a few during the day-We were also sometimes buying drinks for my siblings (Would sometimes pick up tabs)
