Black Friday drink packages

This is why I will never use Royal. They charge for drinks-even non alcoholic ones! Disney all the way.

Drinks are free on Disney?? Who knew? Sign me up.

Look at total price. PERIOD. Royal (along with many companies) will do "funny math" and change the base price.
40% off $100 (for example) = $60 cost.
50% off $120 = $60 cost.

Which is better?

If you paid at the listed price right now, would you be upset? Or you'd only be upset if the price happens to drop? Royal also allows you to cancel and rebook later if the price drops.

Except look at the base cost of the cruise.

7 Night Caribbean Cruise June 13-20, 2026

Disney:

Royal (one day later):

$800 difference will pay for a crap ton of drinks.

ETA: Corrected math because I didn't notice Disney pricing was for two.

PLEASE, tell me what I am missing here???
DCL = $7,747 for a Verandah 6/13/2026

Royal = $6,450 for a Verandah they pick cabin 6/14/2026

We cruise MSC Yacht Club DeLuxe Suite All Inclusive even have a Butler = $6,804 6/14/2026

Other items to compare (you don't say, so I don't know if they're comparable)...

Length of cruise
Port (# of and where)
Age of ship
Ship amenities

Everything being equal, you're still talking $1300 difference. For two people, that's $650 each. I still say that's a lot of drinks.
