SPS Posted July 30, 2021 Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 Saw today at our local Five Guys that the Coca-Cola Freestyle machines have a “hands-free” option available. Wondering if RCI might go to this option someday. cruisellama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted July 30, 2021 Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 Step 1 - Got it Step 2 and 3 will take some people 15 minutes. I'd hate to be #3 in line. For the moment Royal is going with a crew member assist at the Freestyle machines. cdixon22, Neesa and cruisellama 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockerDom31 Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 I have seen these sporadically. I think it’s a neat idea but I found that most people don’t use the phone feature. I do, however, think there should be a Freestyle drink menu posted somewhere so people know exactly what to tell the crew member by the time they get there. Maybe somebody who has been on a cruise recently can chime in but I imagine a lot of indecisive folks driving the crew members crazy. I know I get a little impatient when I’m at Wawa and somebody is literally scrolling through the entire menu of drinks and only to choose something like plain coke. Speaking of which…it wasn’t until Day 2 or 3 that I realized that the Freestyle machine wasn’t the only way to get soda on board with the deluxe drink package. I didn’t know that they had cans of soda in Windjammer and traditional sodas like coke, Diet Coke, and sprite at the bars - silly me.

Pooch Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Yup I much prefer canned soda to fountain soda. The bars usually have some. WAAAYTOOO, cdixon22 and cruisellama 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of wondered about this, and I'm a little unclear on how this improves sanitization. Are they just pushing the buttons (this makes sense), or are they also handling the cups (this does not)? cruisellama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You press a virtual button on your phone which causes the machine to fill your cup. You are the only person that touches your cup and you don't have to touch the buttons on the machine. That's why it is more sanitary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alamode123 Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 Usually I found half the line were people who just wanted a drink, and didn't know they needed the special cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
