Royal Caribbean’s all-you-can-drink package is $55 a day. Mixed drinks are 12-14 bucks each, a beer is eight, a Diet Coke is four (unlimited soft drinks are $25 per day), oh, and wi-fi access is $29 daily. This was on an Alaska cruise.
I went dark and stayed sober for a week for the first time in years. Drank nothing but coffee & water. Jogged & walked on deck most of the cruise; one should do on a ship only those things that can be done only on a ship.
Asked about a tour of the engine room and bridge. That would have been $89. They snapped more photos than a White House presser. Didn’t ask the cost; what’s an iPhone for?
Headed off for a week on the beach. That’s all the ocean I need.

They know how to make sure you can't monetarily out drink them.
The package doesn't include an 18% gratuity and :
Royal Carribean- Any guest wishing to purchase an alcoholic beverage package must do so for all guests of legal drinking age in the same stateroom, for sailings on or after December 31st, 2017.
Two fingers of B & B - poured neat in a brandy snifter - after a good dinner is pleasant for me. It gives me a mellow buzz w/o being annoying. You’ll still maintain proper energy for a night of dancing, poker or pleasant conversation.
Another B & B after an hour or so is proper and advised.
Enjoy your well-deserved cruise.
