Royal Caribbean’s elite loyalty members were surprised to find that their daily free drink vouchers now require crew members to open the drinks at the bar, preventing guests from saving them for later. Initially applied to both soft drinks and alcohol, the policy has since been rolled back to only include alcoholic beverages. The change, which aims to ensure safe and responsible alcohol consumption, may be part of Royal Caribbean’s efforts to monitor guest behavior and alcohol intake more closely. Guests have expressed disappointment and frustration over the new policy, with some seeing it as a way to push cruisers into purchasing drink packages.
