Great comments and tips that are much appreciated. I'm going to hold off on pre-ordering it until we get on the ship. They are all Pepsi products (we tend to lean more towards Coke) so I'll see how much of a protest I get from the boys about the free options then go from there. Might make more sense to do buy as you go so that I can also regulate some of the extra sugar (and calories). Thank you all for the notes - I'll be sure to use them if we opt for the package!

Sailing the Paradise in May with my 8 & 10 year old sons (first single mom cruise - oh boy!) and considering the bottomless bubbles package for them. Does anyone know if the Paradise has the self-service fountains? I remember seeing the self-serve beer machine but not sodas. Assuming it does not have the machines, how easy (I know that is relative) was it for your kids to get their own drinks at the bars for the duration of the cruise? I do NOT want to be the one in charge of getting a bartender's attention because they cannot get served. I'm sure service is easy in the dining rooms as the server would just be the one to take care of it - or does the bar staff also get soft drinks for the table? It isn't going to break the bank but ultimately if it is more of a hassle, I'll keep the $90 and just buy as we go or let them choose where to spend it (which will probably be in the arcade). Thanks in advance!!
