natjimmer Posted April 14, 2011 #1 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hi, I am after some advice... I want to buy a fountain soda package for my 10 night cruise in May, on my online account it is showing at approx £43 for one person. I think this is a good deal but I have $100 on board credit so may wait until I board. Does anybody know how much it is once you have boarded? Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks.

Merion_Mom Posted April 14, 2011 #2 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Same price. The only way to use the OBC, though, is to wait until you board. But you can always use the OBC for your gratuities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffinater Posted April 14, 2011 #3 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Please be careful if you purchase the package. I just read a thread that informed me that soda can be very harmful to your teeth:D. Actually rots them and they fall out.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincinnatiGal Posted April 14, 2011 #4 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Royal Caribbean wins RFID Journal Award for soda package http://www.*****.com/2011/04/14/royal-caribbean-wins-rfid-journal-award-soda-package Royal Caribbean won a 2011 RFID Journal Award for Best Use of RFID to Enhance a Product or Service. The award was for Royal Caribbean's use of RFID technology to enable guests to prepay for unlimited soft drinks, and to then serve themselves fountain beverages without having to wait on a service bar line. Royal Caribbean's RFID readers are built into the soda fountains that have antennas installed in the drip trays. Royal Caribbean's director of fleet beverage operations Bob Midyette claims each beverage container has a built-in near-field EPC Gen 2 RFID inlay from Alien Technology. Back-end software confirms the guest's ID number and allows the fountain to dispense a 16-ounce drink. "The system allows us to improve service to our guests," Midyette explains, "and enhance sales with something that feels like magic." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted April 14, 2011 #6 Share Posted April 14, 2011 There is no price advantage to buying in advance..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeac Posted April 15, 2011 #7 Share Posted April 15, 2011 You will not be charged tax if you wait to purchase once you are out to sea - that saves a little - oh wait, that may not apply if you are sailing out of a European port...so never mind...
