On Royal Caribbean, gamblers earn free drinks by hitting a certain tier -- Prime in this cruise line's Casino Royale program -- at which point they can get free drinks in the casino for a set period of time whether they are actively playing or not.
At several of the biggest cruise brands, including Carnival Cruise Line and Holland America, the main drinks packages that include all types of drinks cost about $60 per person per day. Other brands, such as Norwegian Cruise Line, charge as much as $138 per person per day for a top-tier package.
Carnival requires that each adult in a stateroom purchase a drink package if one person does. So if a husband purchases the package but the wife doesn't drink, she must still purchase the drink package as well. Royal Caribbean requires adult passengers in a cabin to all purchase the package if one person does.
There is no limit on a Royal Caribbean drink package in terms of how many drinks a guest may consume in a day or throughout the cruise. The only limit on a drink package is that you may only order one drink per order, per drink package.
Is the coffee included in the price of my cruise? Complimentary coffee is available in the dining rooms, through room service, and at several food and beverage venues around the ship. There will be a charge for Starbucks® coffee and food items.
This question comes up a lot because Carnival's unlimited beverage package caps alcoholic drinks at 15. Passengers on that cruise line will be shut off when they hit that number and can't even purchase more alcoholic beverages. Royal Caribbean's deluxe beverage package has no limit, but there are rules.
Guests may also bring non-alcoholic beverages as carry-on items on boarding day. Non-alcoholic beverages may not exceed 12 standard (17 oz.) cans, bottles or cartons per stateroom. Milk and distilled water brought on for infant, medical, or dietary use are permitted.
On most mainstream cruises, sodas are available for purchase (using your onboard account) in the ship's dining rooms and bars, and in stateroom mini-bars.

On all Royal Caribbean ships, there is complimentary soft-serve ice cream on the ship. Usually, it is near the pools and there are ice cream cones available to pour the ice cream onto.
