psu_john Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I'm surprising my wife with our very first cruise next summer for our 20th wedding anniversary. We'll be taking a 4 Night Bahamas & Perfect Day Cruise aboard the Mariner of the Seas during the first week of June 2019. Neither of us has ever been on a cruise before, so I'm a total newb when it comes to how things work. However, I am a fast learner! My question is around the the MDR and the classic soda package. I understand the soda package comes with the souvenir cup you can use with the Freestyle dispensers. Does the package also entitle you to comparable soft drinks offered at the MDR or do those still cost extra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGTLH Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Soda in the dining room would be covered. Also no need to bring the cup, they can check by seeing the sticker on your card. One thing to keep in mind is the selection in the dining room won't be the same as the Freestyle dispenser. psu_john 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 @CGTLH is correct. Your soda package will get you soda at any bar, restaurant or lounge (including the MDR). Just flash the SeaPass card and you will get a glass of soda. psu_john 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two next to each other in the Windjammer, two next to each other in the Promenade, and I think I saw one someplace else also. I wish they had one out by the pool; granted that it's on the same floor as the Windjammer, but it's so far to walk!

Camljr59 Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 How does it work when you have the unlimited drink package and you are in the restaurants? Do you have to get up and go to a bar to get another glass of wine, or can you order a cocktail from wait staff and they will get it for you? Sorry in advance for the newbie question....

WAAAYTOOO Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 You can order drinks at the restaurant and they will be covered by the package subject to the regular package limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. But if you’re eating in the MDR, you may want to pick up a glass of whatever you’ll be drinking beforehand, then order another as soon as you’re seated. Drink delivery in the MDR can be slow sometimes. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
