I would hope so but every time I order the champagne for first day room delivery - it's barely been on ice long enough for a light chill. Who knows - maybe they will fill the cooler with ice - I would hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaa Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 My guess is that you will get the cooler bag folded up in its packaging and the drinks sitting unchilled next to it.

You're probably right. My experience with most soft sided cooler bags (though not these particular ones) is that they do tend to sweat much more than a regular cooler, so if they did fill them with ice it's going to make a mess. Beach towels folded underneath them and replaced frequently helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ampurp85 Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Okay so the cooler bag from the gift section is a much smaller one than one they are selling on the ship. The one through gifts will hold less than 12 cans. It only has one compartment to hold ice and beverages. FireFishII 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blondieee2u Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for posting this! Just bought the bag with water for my cruise next week. Very much appreciate the heads up on the bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keanoknick Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Thanks! Just ordered one with water for our June sailing on the Allure. Looking forward to see what others think of them, once they get them in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluer101 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 The one we bought is a little different. Here are the photos. It’s more like a soft sided cooler bucket.

nickpants Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 27.99 for the cooler and soda on my cruise. It shows instock however when you go to pay I get this message: "We're sorry. We couldn't complete your request but are working to fix the issue." The price has gone down a few dollars since it first appeared but the checkout error has been consistent...

Bean79 Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 Went on my Jan 20th cruise telling my wife I had a surprise for her in the room. Nice surprise. A letter stating that her tote was out of stock (even though is showed in stock on the website) and we would get an onboard credit or our credit card refunded, neither has happened!

Maggie M Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 My cruise last week just had the cooler in the plastic bag. No water bottles. So I called to ask about them and they delivered 6 regular sized non-Evian bottles to our room within a few hours. That worked great for us - they gave us an additional 4 bottles with the diamond gifts too. Haven't used the bag yet but it's a nice size for bringing beers/sodas/waters to the beach or on another excursion - see pictures! amanalo217, Cactus527, Midwest Cruiser and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAYNO Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 I am on Navigator as we speak.

I've read when Royal was offering the cooler + beer combo pre-shutdown that beers could be exchanged for a cold one at any bar. Bars aboard might allow a swap for another beer that costs the same as the one being swapped. Haven't tried it, so it might or might not work. And if it does, it's going to be a YMMV situation unless Royal puts into place an official policy. Tracy S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
