Review summary

If i could do a review for a MINUS score i would because i am appalled at the plain and simple discrimination and dictatorship by Royal Caribbean cruise line. I do not drink alcohol and avoid any type of processed food, sugary drinks, artificial colors etc... i choose to drink filtered water only, i know what you are all thinking BORING, i know. however it is my choice. I was just informed by Royal Caribbean that i HAD to book an alcohol package or at the very least refreshment package if my husband wanted one, and if i booked this to be eligible for a refund i would need to send proof in the form of a medical certificate to state why i didn't want these other drinks and that would be the only consideration they would make was due to a medical condition. I have never been so appalled and i have contacted the Federal Maritime commission to take this further but just for anyone to be aware, do not give this company a cent of your money.
