Jayhoaps Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Hi all, I'm new to cruising, so just had some inquiries. I have the drink package, which I understand they give you the souvenir cup to fill at the coca cola machine. My question is, let's say I'm at the Sorrentos or Windjammer and I forgot to bring my souvenir cup, does Sorrento's or Windjammer serve sodas that I can have? If I wanted a soda but forgot to bring my souvenir cup, does Sorrentos and Windjammer provide soda still? Anyone that can clarify this and give and feedback would be greatly appreciated at this time. Thanks. Time. foxrunner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxrunner Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Welcome, You will need to go get your cup if you want soda. The restaurants all have complimentary flavored water ice tea lemonade for anyone. Enjoy! Jayhoaps and asquared17 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Time. The comment above mine is not true. Most people don't even carry the cup around. You only need the cup if you are using the freestyle machines, because it has a chip that activates the machine, BUT you can show you pass to any bar or server and get any drink you want and it will still be included on your package. The bars will serve you a soda or any drink they have in a glass or cup and then swipe your card, see that you have a package and your'e good to go. 4ensic, Jayhoaps, WAAAYTOOO and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your information is correct except for the very first sentence. The comment prior to yours states that the souvenir cup will be needed to get soda at Sorrento's and the Windjammer. That is absolutely correct for Sorrento's. Windjammer is a mixed bag because there is a bar at the entrance to Windjammer where one can get a limited selection of sodas just like at other bars.

Pooch Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 What PP said, WJ will have a bar set up and there will certainly be a bar steps from Sorrentos. Unless you want a sugar free strawberry caffeine free Mr Pibbs, you can get soda from any bar. Adriana and TessOR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Just to add the soda will be very limited, coke, diet coke and sprite. Also for some reason, ymmv, they won't always give you cans with the soda package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 I have never had anyone refuse to serve me a soda in any venue and I have never once taken one of my souvenir cups out of their wrapper. You absolutely do NOT need to take your cup with you. Ever. Anywhere. Pooch, CruiseGus, Ryan79 and 7 others 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhoaps Posted October 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Thanks everyone for your reply. So my understanding is that in the windjammer this is a bar where they serve sodas... At Sorrentos complimentary water, ice tea, etc.. But if I want soda, go to nearby bar to get soda, or use coca cola machine? So Sorrentos doesn't have a bar or drinks to serve soda?

There is usually a Freestyle machine right by Sorrento's but only the water, tea, and lemonade (self serve) otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 They will give you a plastic glass if you do not have your mug with you. I've done it many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windjammer does have a bar where you can get soda if you don't want to use the FreeStyle machines. You can also ask a roaming server that's bringing around drinks or clearing off tables and they will go get you soda. Some Sorrentos do have bar right there and some do not. It's different on each ship. 2 hours ago, Jayhoaps said: What about the boardwalk dog house? Do they serve any soda here after you get a hot dog or sausage? Boardwalk Dog House on Oasis class ships has a cooler with canned soda that you can get with the package. On other classes of ships they may have some drinks available in the cooler, otherwise you'll have to visit a nearby bar to get a soda. On Quantum class ships there's a FreeStyle machine located at the Dog House, but again, they may also have drinks in the cooler. asquared17 and Jayhoaps 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
