bryresangel Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 Good evening! Hubby and I have the refreshment package. If I am understanding correctly, that means we would get a reusable cup for the drink stations. Is that correct and if so, where do we get one at?

Jill Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 They used to be in your cabin. Now you can go to just about any bar or guest services to get the cups bryresangel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 When we got onboard, I went to the Solarium Bar and got my cup. Your drink package will show on your Set Sail Pass (w Sea Pass when you get it). Interesting side note: They told me this week (on Freedom) that the cups don’t have a chip in them. It’s not self-serve right now anyway so it doesn’t matter. bryresangel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One because the machines on Odyssey still needed to read the cup before they worked - several times the crew member filling my cup would try to press the selections without my cup on the sensor and the machine would flash that warning. Also...I feel like Royal isn't the one who inputs the chips but rather whatever company they use and it would be kinda weird for them to change that order and risk having cups coming in at a later date that don't have that chip... teddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-covid the cups were delivered to your cabin, but now you just have to go to a bar to request one. bryresangel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Done Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 Neither my wife or I are soda drinkers. We brought home the drinks cups when the drink packages were first introduced. We have 4 or 5 now and just leave them behind. At least 3 of them we brought home are still in the cellophane wrappers. bryresangel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same thought. They are filling regular cups for people (who have a beverage package), so I’m thinking they must be able to override the function on the machine maybe?

Ampurp85 Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 On Allure they had a cup sitting in the machine and would put a cup in the cup to get drinks. Or they would take the cup and get drinks, so I think the chips are still being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
