Rare Lionesss Posted November 21, 2013 #426 Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) We were looking at ordering the package and we noticed that even though soda and water are included, it does not include the drinking cup (insulated mug) for use with the soda machines....................... Unless I am missing something? Anyone know for sure. Sea Ya Edited November 21, 2013 by Lionesss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Ya The new drink packages that were supposed to be in effect on US cruises by Nov 15 do include the cup that can be used with the Freestyle machines.

dacruiser12 Posted November 22, 2013 #429 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Soooo...I called RCI today to order the new Royal Replenish package. After putting me on hold for 15 (!) minutes, she came back and said you could only order it from the purser's deck once you board. Oh well, I guess I'll wait until after Dec 1 & try to order it online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollyeilis Posted November 24, 2013 #436 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Just boarded Independence....new drink packages are in full swing! Woo! When you get a chance...do you know what kind of bottled water is included with the packages that include bottled water? (that's my burning question :p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dacruiser12 Posted November 24, 2013 #437 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I think Evian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joans Posted November 24, 2013 #438 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I am still confused about everyone in the cabin having to buy the package. Seems like everyone has a different answer. Does anyone (someone who actually bought a package preferably) know for sure if just one person can buy a package? Thank you in advance for your help!!

scbntraveler Posted November 24, 2013 #439 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Do the drink packages include coffee and tea from the café? Such as cappuccino or espresso. The package information states no specialty coffee. Would the two above be consider specialty? Edited November 24, 2013 by scbntraveler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old package everyone in the stateroom had to buy. The new package does not have this requirement. This has been stated clearly by RCI - I think any confusion was just in the short period before the new packages started when the old policy was still in place.

Rare fun_one Posted November 25, 2013 #444 Share Posted November 25, 2013 The changes to the plan are very exciting to me because my husband and I are wine drinkers and I was worried that the "house" wine was not going to really work for us. Does anyone have a wine list of the wines available by the glass? I would think if the package allows up to $12 a glass, we may be happy campers! We sail in January on the Oasis.

CruisinDawn Posted November 26, 2013 #449 Share Posted November 26, 2013 So just to be 100% clear. I can book the premium package for myself. And my cabin mate no longer needs too? Correct.What if you pay the $55 price? Does everyone have to book? Just looked at my cruise in 12 days, we can still book for $55. Also, we intended to wait until we boarded to purchase the package because we have OBC's to use and I was going to have customer service move me into my sisters cabin that is traveling alone so we can both purchase the package leaving the sister that does not drink in my cabin solo (as far as paperwork is concerned). Will we have to pay $65 if we wait until we board? I don't drink coffee and the water in the cabin is fine for me. BonVoyage Dawna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinDawn Posted November 26, 2013 #450 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Nope, it depends on the port. If you depart from Flordia Fl is charging a state tax (I think it used to be 7%). And that´s also affecting beverage packages bought onboard while you´re still in port. So in that case it might make sense to wait until the ship is in international waters. steamboats In our experience they only charge the extra tax on single beverages, not packages. They hold the receipts for those and process them once we are at sea. BonVoyage Dawna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
