15 per day per person, but there are ways around it for those that need to consume more.

Let's be honest.  No one needs to consume more.

 

And if they believe they do, there are Friends of Bill W meetings onboard.  🙂

This still stands true for me. Every other line I have cruised still feels more nickel and dime than Carnival to me. RCCL felt like everything was a fee and MSC even worse. 

 

THIS.   I was surprised at the nickel-and-diming I experienced on a Royal cruise in February.  Excursion pricing was 50-70% higher than an equivalent excursion on Carnival.   

Drink prices onboard were a few bucks higher, each. 

The number of "free"/included dining choices was remarkably small -- and this was on the Freedom,  not the biggest anymore by any stretch but the biggest cruise-ship in the world when she was launched...and she's bigger than the majority of Carnival's ships to this day.  

Royal DID add a new "free" eatery to the Freedom, a Mexican place, and while it was a welcome distraction from the usual limited choices, it wasn't anywhere near as good as Blue Iguana Cantina.
