When you’re on a ship without the machines, do you just hand the souvenir cup to someone at the bar/wherever?

Correct, bartender, bar server, or restaurant wait staff. They may also ask to see your SeaPass card. Plus, the SeaPass card alone is enough to get a soda - the special cup is not mandatory.

I will be sailing on the Brilliance December 2018. I can’t believe how many calls I’ve made to Royal Caribbean and they are adamant that the Brilliance and Radiance class of ships all have the freestyle Coca-Cola soda machines. I explained in detail how I cannot find evidence that they do and I’m reading online that as of May travelers have said the online that the Brilliance does not have the freestyle machine. Even had someone from Royal Caribbean tell me that the Brilliance is in with Liberty and Independence class of ships. Obviously they have hired people who don’t have all the facts. So has anyone sailed on Brilliance in the last few months that can verify if it has the freestyle machine? Want to know before I purchase the beverage package in advance.

Quantum of the Seas has no Freestyle machines (taken out or covered up with an 'out of order' sign) while in China but this could change when the ship goes to Singapore.

 

 

Thank you for that info. I'll update the list soon.

To the best of my knowledge, only Jewel has these among the Radiance class ships.

 

Thanks, Bill!

 

I splurged for the nonalcoholic drink package and was hoping to have fun freestyling it. But I will drink my weight at Café Latitudes instead. :D

I too have the deluxe bev package and want to know about bottled water and juice. So the bars keep bottled water on stock for people to get at the bar.

Correct. Fresh squeezed OJ is normally only available at breakfast, though on some ships there is a juice bar.

Thanks-never had deluxe bev package and want to enjoy the “bottled water and bottles juices”. Didn’t realize that the bars on the ship would stock enough bottles for the peep who have the packages. Water is brought to the rooms if you buy the water package, but not the deluxe, right?

Hi Bill I was on Allure two weeks ago. I see you have a ? mark next to wipe out cafe. The allure does have a machine in the wipeout cafe and its working well. I found the machines next to sorrentos not as good as the others. The response time from the touch screen didn’t work well. Maybe I just haven’t used many freestyle machines but that’s what I got out of it. I know this was probably more info than needed but figured what the heck.

When we had a boardwalk cabin on Harmony they gave us a Coke package. Maybe this was just Harmony....but when I tried to get just water (Dasani) out of the machine, you had to choose a flavored Dasani water. So I got the Power Aide when I used the machines.

 

I asked the dude in Sorrento's and he told me to get plain water I had to go to the bars.

We just booked Boardwalk cabins on the Allure that comes with a beverage package but now I'm confused if that is just soda or if it comes with bottled water and specialty coffees
