Top 5 Royal Caribbean unlimited alcohol package drink values
On my last cruise on Navigator of the Seas I noticed Royal Caribbean offers a lot of alcoholic drinks to choose from and the prices of each vary considerably. It got me thinking, "Is there a strategy to maximizing the unlimited alcohol packages faster?"
Obviously no one wants to spend money on something they know in advance is a waste of money and there is a physical limit to the amount of drinks anyone can drink. So I took a look at the most recent Royal Caribbean drink menu to figure out which drinks would give passengers the best value if they are using the unlimited alcohol packages.
What are Royal Caribbean's unlimited alcohol packages?
Royal Caribbean's unlimited alcohol packages are optional add-ons you can purchase to allow you as many beverages as you like for a flat fee per day.
If you do decide to indulge in one of the packages, consider these five drinks as the best ways to get your moneys worth from the investment!
Any margarita from Sabor Modern Mexican - $12
The brand new Sabor Modern Mexican restaurant on Navigator of the Seas specializes in Mexico's most famous liquor, tequila. Their selection of margairtas is both tasty and a great value for those on the unlimited alcohol packages.
Their margaritas all cost $12, which is by far the most expensive drink we ran across included in the unlimited alcohol packages.
Besides being a good value for those on the package, it's also a really, really good drink! The Sweet and Spice Margarita and Sabor Grand Margarita are made at your table for ultimate taste. The other margaritas offered are also the same price and worth your time as well.
Elderphire - $10.25
If you're a fan of gin, try this drink that was a Bacardi Cruise Competition winner. elderflower, sugarcane and fresh lemon make this a great drink and a great value on the drink package.

Ultimate cosmopolitan - $9.50
For something a little smoother, the ultimate cosmopolitan is a great choice and also available fleet-wide. It's sweet and does the trick for someone who enjoys a good cosmo in the evening.

Sparkling Peach Martini - $10.50
Vodka and wine, together again. That's what makes up this drink and when you start combining multiple kinds of alcohol, you drive the price up. At just over $10, a couple of these will help get you to the "break even" point on your daily alcohol package quest that much easier.
Patron Perfect Margarita - $9.25
While we love the margaritas from Sabor, if you're not on Navigator of the Seas, try the Patron Perfect Margarita that is available on all Royal Caribbean ships. As the name implies, it uses a better brand of tequila to give you a strong drink.
