Buying or upgrading drink package onboard

[schlimazel_traveler]

Apologies if this has been addressed before, but I'm seeing a number of threads in which people are unaware that there is a soda-only drink package that costs ~$7.50/day. One person explained that this was because that package was not offered on board--only the $20 Royal Replenish package and the alcohol packages.

 

I'd like to defer purchase of our drink packages until we board because we have a (small) OBC that would cover some of the cost. I plan to purchase the soda-only package for everyone. (P.S. for soda-judgers--getting the cup for the Freestyle machine is the only way to get access to diet sodas other than Diet Coke and Diet Sprite, as far as I can tell.)

 

Is the soda-only package not for sale on board?

 

If not, I'll pre-purchase and I guess we'll use the OBC for something else. (We had to prepay our tips already, too.)

 

But I thought I'd let the others in my party decide if they wanted to upgrade to Royal Replenish (they can pay the difference--these are young adults and I'm footing the bill for the cruise). If we pre-purchase the soda package, can they upgrade on board?

To my knowledge, all the packages (incuding soda only, called Refreshment) are available for purchase onboard

Everything is for sale on board.
