If you’re planning a Royal Caribbean cruise, one of the first things to understand is how much drinks actually cost onboard. This guide shows the Royal Caribbean drinks menu for 2026, based on real menus I photographed during my back-to-back cruises on Liberty of the Seas.
The menus cover cocktails, beer, wine, spirits, zero-proof drinks, soft drinks, juice, water, Starbucks and fresh smoothies, so you can see what you’re likely to pay before deciding whether a drinks package is worth it. You can also download the full Royal Caribbean drinks menu as a PDF at the end of this article.

Royal Caribbean Drinks Menu 2026: Cocktails
Cocktails are one of the most expensive drinks to buy individually on Royal Caribbean, and most of the cocktails I saw on Liberty of the Seas were priced at $15. This was consistent across several bars, including The Lime & Coconut, Schooner Bar, Boleros and Cantina Fresca.
At The Lime & Coconut, drinks such as the Lime & Coconut, Planter’s Punch, The Painkiller, Goombay Smash, Papa Jac, Watermelon ’Rita, Rum Punch, Caribbean Mule, Pineapple Guava Sangria and Passion Spritz were all $15.
The wider standard cocktail menu followed a similar pattern. Drinks including Love Story, Berried Treasure, Handcrafted Margarita, Yuzu the One, Curaçao Cosmo, Cozumel Sunrise, Strawberry Blonde, Blackberry Lemon Drop and Kentucky Summer were also $15.
Boleros had its own separate menu. Gin cocktails including Yuzu the One, Sea & T, Pretty in Pink and Cool as a Cucumber were $15.
Other Boleros cocktails included the Classic Old Fashioned, Buffalo Manhattan, Pimm’s Cup, White Port & Tonic and Stout Espresso Martini at $15. Pirate in a Coconut Tree, Limoncello & Tonic and Amalfi Coast were slightly cheaper at $14.
Cantina Fresca also had a separate tequila-led menu. Classic margaritas were $12.50, while speciality margaritas were $15.
Other Cantina Fresca cocktails included the Paloma at $14, the Michelada at $13, and the Tequil-Ya Zombie and Cozumel Sunrise at $15.
Overall, most Royal Caribbean cocktails on the menus I photographed sat between $14 and $15, with a small number of cheaper venue-specific options.
Royal Caribbean Drinks Menu 2026: Beer, Cider and Hard Seltzers
Beer prices were much more consistent than cocktail prices. Most standard beers were $8.25, regardless of which bar menu I checked.
That included Blue Moon Belgian White, Bud Light, Budweiser, Coors Light, Corona Extra, Dos Equis, Heineken, Michelob Ultra, Miller Lite, Paulaner Weissbier, Peroni Nastro Azzurro and Stella Artois.
Red Stripe was slightly more expensive at $8.75.
There were also a few venue-specific or less common choices, including Birra Moretti, Guinness, Newcastle Brown Ale, Samuel Adams Boston Lager, Sierra Nevada and Stone IPA. Most of these were also priced at $8.25.
Hard cider was usually $8.25. This included Strongbow, Angry Orchard and Bulmers Original.
Hard seltzers were also around $8.25, including Truly Hard Seltzer and White Claw.
The beer selection varied slightly depending on the bar, but the prices remained fairly similar across the ship.
Royal Caribbean Drinks Menu 2026: Zero-Proof Drinks and Mocktails
Royal Caribbean has a much wider non-alcoholic drinks range than many passengers may expect.
Standard zero-proof drinks were usually $8. These included Berry Press, Passion Starlight, Coconut Lime Refresher, Crave the Wave, All Aboard Spritz, Berry Necessary, Tiger’s Tale, Tropical Crush, Passionista, Watermelon Mint Lemonade and Yuzu Sunrise.
There were also more premium spirit-free cocktails made with Seedlip. These were priced at $12 and included Lush Life, Peach Perfect, Mule Kickback, Mai Spice and Espresso No-Tini.
Spirit-free sparkling mocktails were listed separately. Blind Tiger drinks, including Lavender French 75, Side Car Mimosa and Southside Mojito, were priced at $11 on one menu and $9 on another venue menu.
This is worth checking carefully because the same style of drink may appear at a slightly different price depending on the bar.
Royal Caribbean Drinks Menu 2026: Non-Alcoholic Beer and Wine
Alcohol-free beer was generally cheaper than standard beer, but not by a large amount. Blue Moon Non-Alcoholic Belgian White, Heineken 0.0 and Samuel Adams Just the Haze IPA were priced between $6.99 and $7.75, depending on the venue.
Royal Caribbean also had a dedicated non-alcoholic wine range. Natureo Sparkling, Cero Coma Blanco, Ariel Chardonnay, Ariel Cabernet Sauvignon and Natureo Syrah were all listed at $12 per glass or $48 per bottle.
That makes non-alcoholic wine one of the more expensive alcohol-free options onboard, particularly compared with the standard $8 zero-proof drinks.
Royal Caribbean Drinks Menu 2026: Wine Prices
Wine prices varied much more than beer or cocktails because there was a broad range of both standard and premium choices.
On the simpler bar menus, wine by the glass started at $9. Beringer White Zinfandel was $9 per glass or $31 per bottle. Santa Elvira Prosecco was $10 per glass or $45 per bottle, and Danzante Pinot Grigio was $11 per glass or $43 per bottle. The wider wine menus offered far more choice.
White and rosé wines commonly ranged from $9 to $17 per glass. Examples included Les Fumées Blanches Sauvignon Blanc at $10 per glass or $35 per bottle, Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc at $13 per glass or $57 per bottle, Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay at $12 per glass or $45 per bottle, and Conundrum White Blend at $17 per glass or $71 per bottle.
Sparkling wine prices ranged from $10 per glass for Prosecco to $14 for Chandon Brut. Premium champagne was considerably more expensive, with bottles such as Veuve Clicquot, Perrier-Jouët and Dom Pérignon priced well above $100.
Red wine prices followed a similar pattern. Castle Rock Pinot Noir was $12 per glass or $45 per bottle. Robert Mondavi Private Selection Merlot was $13 per glass or $48 per bottle, Gérard Bertrand Réserve Spéciale Cabernet Sauvignon was $11 per glass or $42 per bottle, and Torres Celeste Crianza was $12 per glass or $45 per bottle.
More premium wines went much higher, with some bottles costing more than $100. The key difference between the simpler bar menus and the dining room wine lists was not only the price but the range available.
Royal Caribbean Drinks Menu 2026: Spirits
Standard spirits generally started at around $10.50. Vodka options included Absolut, Absolut Citron and Absolut Vanilla at $10.50. Tito’s Handmade was also $10.50, while Belvedere was $11.50 and Grey Goose and Ketel One were $13.
Gin prices ranged from $10.50 for Beefeater London Dry, Beefeater Pink and Tanqueray to $14 for Gunpowder Irish Gin. Bombay Sapphire was $11.50 and Hendrick’s was $13.
Rum followed a similar pattern. Bacardi Superior, Captain Morgan Original Spiced, Kraken Black Spiced, Malibu Original and Myers’s Original Dark were $10.50. Appleton Estate was $12, while Bacardi Reserva Ocho, Mount Gay Eclipse, Pusser’s Navy, Pyrat XO and Ron Zacapa were $13.
Tequila had the widest price range. Jose Cuervo Gold was $10.50, Don Julio Blanco and Espolòn Blanco were $13, Patrón Silver was $13, and Patrón Reposado was $14. More premium tequilas cost considerably more. Don Julio 1942 was $30, Komos Reposado Rosa was $30, Komos Cristalino Añejo was $34 and Komos Añejo Reserva was $38.
Whiskey and bourbon usually ranged from $10.50 to $15. Buffalo Trace was $11.50, Bulleit Bourbon was $12, Bulleit Rye was $15, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey was $10.50 and Woodford Reserve was $12.
Scotch prices ranged from $10.50 for Dewar’s White Label and Johnnie Walker Black Label to $15 for The Macallan 12 Year.
Cognac, aperitifs and liqueurs were mostly between $10.50 and $13.
Royal Caribbean Drinks Menu 2026: Soft Drinks, Juice, Water and Energy Drinks
Standard fountain soft drinks were $3.50. The menu included Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Coca-Cola Zero, Sprite, Fanta Orange, ginger ale and tonic.
Cranberry, grapefruit, orange and pineapple juice were also $3.50.
Red Bull was $4.95, with regular, sugar-free and Yellow Edition options.
Coco Love coconut water was $5.95.
These prices are useful when comparing the Classic Soda Package with paying as you go, because even a few soft drinks each day can add up over a longer cruise.
Royal Caribbean Drinks Menu 2026: Fresh Juice and Smoothies
Fresh juices and smoothies were available from the Vitality Café. Fresh juice was $10 for a 12oz serving. Options included Apple Mint, FruitOasis, Caliente Carrot and Carrot Lemonade. There was also a build-your-own option where you could select four ingredients.
Smoothies were also $10 and included the Power Shake, Muscle Building smoothie and a build-your-own fruit smoothie. Additional supplements such as BCAA or creatine cost $0.75.
The menu stated that the fresh juices and smoothies were included in the Deluxe and Refreshment Packages, although availability and package terms should still be checked for your particular sailing.
Royal Caribbean Drinks Menu 2026: Starbucks Prices
The standalone Starbucks on Liberty of the Seas had its own separate menu and pricing. Freshly brewed coffee was $3.95, while a Caffè Americano was $5.25.
A Caffè Latte and Cappuccino were both $6.25. A Flat White was $6.45, while a Caffè Mocha, White Chocolate Mocha and Caramel Macchiato were $6.75.
Cold drinks included Iced Coffee at $4.95, Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew at $5.75 and Salted Caramel Cream Cold Brew at $5.95.
The Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso was $6.95, while Chai Latte and Matcha Latte were $6.45.
Starbucks Refreshers started at $5.75, while Pink Drink and Dragon Drink were $6.25.
Frappuccino drinks ranged from $6.15 to $7.25.
Standalone Starbucks purchases were not included in the Deluxe or Refreshment Package on Liberty of the Seas. Included speciality coffee was available from participating Royal Caribbean venues instead.
Are Royal Caribbean Drink Prices the Same in Every Bar?
Not exactly. Many standard drinks, especially beer, spirits and basic zero-proof drinks, were priced consistently across the menus I photographed.
The biggest differences were in the cocktail selection. Bars such as Boleros, Schooner Bar, Cantina Fresca and The Lime & Coconut each had their own themed drinks, although most cocktails still remained close to the $15 price point.
Wine also varied more because the dining room and Vintages menus offered a much wider selection than the standard bar menus.
The ship and itinerary can also affect which drinks are available, so the menus in this guide should be treated as a strong guide rather than a guarantee that every Royal Caribbean ship will have exactly the same selection.
Are Royal Caribbean Drink Prices Gratuity Inclusive?
The menus I photographed on Liberty of the Seas during a UK sailing stated that prices were gratuity inclusive. They also noted that VAT may apply for certain ports or itineraries.
This is important because Royal Caribbean pricing can be shown differently depending on where the cruise is booked and where the ship is sailing.
For my Liberty of the Seas cruises from Southampton, the prices shown on the menu were the prices I used when comparing paying as you go with buying a drinks package.
Royal Caribbean Drinks Packages Explained
Royal Caribbean offers three main unlimited drinks packages.
The Deluxe Beverage Package is the only one that includes alcohol. It covers eligible cocktails, beer, spirits and wine by the glass, along with most of the non-alcoholic drinks included in the Refreshment Package.
The Refreshment Package includes mocktails, soft drinks, bottled water, speciality tea and coffee, fresh juice and other non-alcoholic options.
The Classic Soda Package is the cheapest and covers fountain soft drinks, including use of the Coca-Cola Freestyle machines with the activated cup.
You do not need to buy any package. Whether one is worth it depends on the price shown in your Cruise Planner, the number of sea days, how much time you will spend ashore and what you would realistically buy without one.
You can read my full Royal Caribbean Drinks Package Guide for a detailed comparison of all three options.
What These Prices Mean in Practice
It is easy to underestimate how quickly drinks add up on Royal Caribbean. A morning Starbucks coffee could cost around $6. A soft drink during the day would add another $3.50. A cocktail before dinner would be around $15, while a glass of wine could cost between $10 and $15.
That could take your daily spend beyond $35 without including bottled water, a second cocktail, another coffee or an evening drink.
However, that does not automatically mean the Deluxe Beverage Package is better value. On my Liberty of the Seas cruises, I chose the Classic Soda Package and paid separately for the alcoholic drinks I wanted.
Across nine days, my total onboard spending was under £200, and that included more than just drinks. Deluxe would have cost more than £500 across the two cruises at the lowest prices I saw.
The menus make it much easier to work out your own likely spending before deciding.
