F27TW Posted December 15, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 15, 2013 People really are turned on by that, for some reason. Its cheap fountain soda ... with splashes of nasty artificially flavored crap .. people really wanna drink a fake Peach-Cherry-Vanilla flavored Sprite or Diet Coke ? Gross! (IMO).

ariawoman Posted December 15, 2013 #5 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Loved having the cherry coke option on the Oasis, even though it's not the same as bottled cherry coke. :-) My cup is good until 12/22 - is that normal? lol. I almost wanted to book another cruise to use it longer :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumbletigger Posted December 15, 2013 #6 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Love the Freestyle Machines. I'm not bound to one flavor of diet...diet coke. I now can have fanta or sprite zero too!! I am also waiting for confirmation. I won't be on Jewel until June, but would love to know if it is true.

Fast_Camaro Posted December 16, 2013 #9 Share Posted December 16, 2013 The wife and I are big sprite zero, sun kist, 7-up drinkers. We originally was going to get the soda card again (we did on the Rhapsody 8 years ago) but learned the freestyle wasn't on JOS so we weren't doing that. We sail April 5th, so if it is in fact on there, we're doing it. Would need picture, member cruisers numerous confirmation before we'd commit. True???

I've got my fingers crossed... I would suggest you to try contacting Royal and ask them. I am sure they would actually provde you with something more than useless responses. I will be on the Jewel in less than a month so I can check it for you, if you can wait :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reedl Posted December 16, 2013 #13 Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) You people really love your soda....... ...And other people really love their alcohol and beer. The large quantities of posts regarding the unlimited alcohol packages show that. I choose to imbibe soda and drink a lot. I never drink alcohol.

The drinkers are much more fun and the staff makes alot more $$ for selling alcohol so they like them better. Try going to the bar and asking for a soda, watch the bartender roll his eyes...

I just got off the Indy and never once saw a bartender roll his eyes when one of us asked for a soda in between our drinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelerThom Posted December 16, 2013 #16 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I was on the Jewel this time last year (then sailing out of Tampa), and I would have sworn they had Freestyle Machines (including at least one in the Windjammer) then. BUT I did NOT buy the soda package, did NOT use the machines, and do NOT have pictures. So I'd be willing to wager one whole dollar (no more) that the Freestyle Machines are there;) Thom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try going to the bar and asking for a soda, watch the bartender roll his eyes... On my last cruise, I never went to a bar and got soda. I used the freestyle machine on the Allure, since it had the flavors I wanted. On previous cruises though the bartenders were happy to full my cups up with whatever I asked for. In fact it got to the point that I merely had to appear at specific venues, and they knew exactly what I wanted. And if you think walking around in a perpetual state of inebriation is "fun" then you have a different view of "fun" than I do.

PalmTree55 Posted January 5, 2014 #25 Share Posted January 5, 2014 The Liberty did not have them either, I think the only RCCL ships that have them are Oasis Class. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
