Tigerlaw Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 First time RCCL cruiser here trying to decide betw. The soda and refreshment packages. Generally speaking, what are the restrictions on these? I tried to read the fine print, but still couldn't tell. Is it something like one refill every 15 minutes, an hour, or what? Can i get a coffee and then go straight to the coke machine to take back to the room for later? How do they police the no sharing w others rule? Thanks in advance for the help!

WAAAYTOOO Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 The soda package is soda only. No water, coffee or mock tails. The refreshment pkg includes all of those. There is no restriction on how many/often you can get a beverage but you only get 1 at a time. The single possible exception is usually the server will give you a bottle of water in addition to whatever drink you order. This varies from time-to-time. Sharing drinks with people who are not entitled to them is strictly prohibited and if you are caught cheating, Royal retains the right to cancel your plan without refund. There are no surefire ways to monitor everyone for cheating but I wouldn’t want to be the one they caught... ChessE4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will I have to pay for water? Where can we get water for free on board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoyJoy Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 With the soda package, do we have to carry our cup around to get drinks in the MDR or specialty restaurants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will only have to pay for bottled water. You can go to any bar on the ship and they will give you a cup of water for free. you also don’t need to carry the cup in the MDR etc. JoyJoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, your Seapass card will show that you have the soda package. Anywhere you want to order a soda, you'll just give them your card and they'll bring a soda to you. The only thing you NEED your cup for is the Freestyle machines. JoyJoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flavored water is often found at the Windjammer or in the Solarium, or both, depending upon the ship. Water is also available at Cafe Promenade for the ships with a promenade. I also drink the water in the stateroom. Bottled water can be purchased many places, including bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy H. Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 One way the keep you from cheating on the alcohol package is that if one person in the cabin purchases it, all other adults in the cabin have to purchase it. I don't believe that is true for the soda package though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
