I haven't been on Navigator, but if it has the freestyle machine, than it is more than just fizzy drinks.  You can get Powerade, Minute Maid, and if I recall correctly flavored Dasani water.  You need the refreshment cup because it has an RIFD chip that allows you to use the machine.  She also can get lots of Shirley Temples for dinner!  

Forgive my ignorance - what is a Shirley Temple?!!!

Thank you!

Ah thanks - I wasn't really aware of any complimentary beverages/choices. I guess that they don't want to advertise these?! This leads me on to two questions:-

1) What type of drinks are offered complimentary? I drink a lot of water most days and about 4 teas and/or coffees.

2) Is the soda package, literally just fizzy/soda drinks i.e. Coke, Fanta etc? As Kathy mentioned - there's no way I'd want my daughter drinking that stuff all day long.

I'm not planning on drinking a lot of alcohol, having a 9 year old to look after and keep entertained. So I am happy to probably just 'pay as I go' for the maximum of 2 or 3 beers a day that I will have.

Sorry - I realise that these sort of questions probably get asked all the time!

I'm going on my first cruise, this Friday (on Navigator) - just my 9 year old daughter and I.

If I get the refreshment package for just me - is there anything to stop her using the refillable souvenir soda cup - for example, at the same time as I order a coffee or orange juice.

Or even if I get the deluxe beverage package - could I do the same thing?

She doesn't drink much (nowhere near as much as she should) and I don't really want to get a package for her.
