Can you drink alcohol on day 1 of a Royal Caribbean cruise from Galveston, TX?

Can you drink on the first day of a Royal Caribbean cruise from Galveston? Yes. Texas alcohol laws do affect what Royal Caribbean can serve while the ship is still in Texas waters, but embarkation day is not “dry.” The bars are open, the Deluxe Beverage Package works, and you can order beer, wine, cocktails, mocktails, bottled water, and other included drinks. The main difference is that the alcohol selection is more limited at first. Once the ship reaches international waters, the full bar selection becomes available. So if you’ve heard that a Royal Caribbean cruise from Galveston means you can’t use your drink package on day one, that’s a misconception. #RoyalCaribbean #CruiseTips #GalvestonCruise #DrinkPackage #texascruise #galveston
