levy1980 Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 While watching videos on yo tube I saw a popcorn machine, is this something you have to pay extra for or is it complimentary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChessE4 Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 On Oasis-class ships we had to pay, so we don't eat it anymore. In 2017 it was $2.50, not sure what it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAAAYTOOO Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 It is complimentary for Star Class guests and when we were on Anthem in Feb our Genie (Yen) kept asking us, night after night, if we wanted any popcorn for the show. As we were ALWAYS JUST coming from eating SOMEwhere, we were always WAAAYTOOO full to ever eat any popcorn. I wanted to....I love the smell of popcorn...but I was always busting a gut coming from some eating establishment or another.

twangster Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 I've always considered the popcorn charge a means to an end - keeping it from being everywhere. If it was free during movies nights the pool and hot tubs would be full of it as would be the pool deck. Kids would be throwing it around without a care from their parents. When there is a charge though, suddenly people become responsible with it since they paid for it.

However, I do understand why Royal charges.. They do it because they can and they make extra money.. Hoski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crew would sweep it up off the pool decks at night, it was in the elevators near the pool. AGSLC5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to something in Studio B I highly recommend grabbing something from the cart rather than the Studio B bar. That bar was MOBBED and it took me 10-15 minutes to get a bottle of water. They almost gave away my seat but my mom managed to protect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2mybugs Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I actually love popcorn... It's one of my favorite snacks in the world. On our last cruise I actually had an extra bag of smart pop that I actually carried on and snacked on. I miss crunchy snacks on the ships, but the last two actually had small potato chip bags which made us all happy! Jane Hoski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the afternoon performance of Blue Earth, you wouldn’t believe how many popcorn boxes (and uneaten popcorn) were strewn all over the chairs and floor. So sad.

I'm a popcorn fanatic. I actually eat it for dinner dinner nights. I would LOVE for it to be free on royal. Alas these people make it not! I actually brought a bag of smart pop on my last cruise and may do it again. Jane Cindy Leslie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
