Yes, if you are sailing with Royal Caribbean in 2026, the cruise line requires that if one adult in a stateroom purchases the Deluxe Beverage Package (the unlimited alcohol package), all other adults of legal drinking age in the same stateroom must also purchase it. This policy is strictly enforced to prevent "sharing" of the unlimited benefits between cabin mates. In the past, passengers could sometimes call to request an exception (e.g., if one person was pregnant or in recovery) and have the second person purchase a non-alcoholic "Refreshment Package" instead. However, as of late 2025, Royal Caribbean has significantly tightened these rules, making exceptions extremely rare to combat widespread package abuse. For non-alcoholic packages like the "Refreshment Package" or "Classic Soda Package," there is no such requirement; one person can buy it without the other. This ensures the cruise line protects its revenue margins while maintaining the "unlimited" nature of the service for those who choose to invest in the premium alcoholic tier of their beverage program.
