Is Starbucks included in Royal Caribbean drink package?

The Deluxe Beverage Package The beverage packages are honored at any of our bars, cafés, lounges, Windjammer cafe, Main Dining Room, Specialty Restaurants, Johnny Rockets, and on Perfect Day at CocoCay and Labadee during normal business hours. Room service, minibar and Starbucks purchases are not included.



The answer is a bit of a "yes and no" depending on where you get your coffee. In 2026, beverages served at standalone, licensed Starbucks® kiosks (located on the Royal Promenade or Boardwalk of many ships) are not included in any Royal Caribbean beverage package, including the Deluxe Beverage Package. You must pay for these with your SeaPass card, and they will be charged to your onboard account as a separate expense. However, "Premium Coffees" made with Starbucks beans that are served at other onboard locations—such as the Café Promenade, Vitality Café, or the Main Dining Room—are included in both the Deluxe Beverage Package and the Refreshment Package. This means you can get a latte or cappuccino made with the same quality beans for free if you get it at a non-branded location. If you are a frequent coffee drinker, Royal Caribbean also offers a "Café Select Coffee Card" for about $31, which gives you 15 specialty coffee drinks at these included locations, but again, this card cannot be used at the "official" Starbucks storefront on the ship.
