Use of deluxe beverage and soda packages in specialty restaurants

[hurls15]

Hi,

We are going on our first Royal Caribbean cruise in November (have been on other lines previously) and wanting to confirm how our deluxe beverage (adults) and soda (kids) packages work in specialty dining restaurants. 

I am assuming that there is no need for the kids to lug their soda cups around to these restaurants and that they will simply be served their sodas in glasses at the table?

Is that the same for all of the specialty restaurants, or is there a difference between those restaurants that require reservations vs those that are walk in (such as Portside BBQ, Johnny Rockets or Sorrentos)?

Is that the same for Playmakers bar? 

Basically, I am just trying to get a sense of in which situations will the kids need their soda cups in order to have a drink with their meal or snack, and whether there any restaurants that you will want to be walking in with a drink or soda in hand.

Correct. Your beverage packages are honored all over the ship and no need to bring your cups anywhere if you don't want to. The card shows you have a beverage package, not the cup. The only time you absolutely need the cup is if you're using the self serve Coke Freestyle machines, if your ship even has them. We don't even bother with the cups and just leave them in the cabin and order what we want from anywhere.
