Ocean Boy Posted July 6, 2014 #26 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I thinks it terrible that RCCI doesn't put these machines on every ship in their fleet! I hate bothering a bartender every time I want a soda that I have pre-paid dearly for. It's not fair to the staff' date='[/color'] or to the customer!

Ocean Boy Posted July 6, 2014 #27 Share Posted July 6, 2014 YES and PLEASE1. It's their job to serve you. If anything, the success of the machines make it likely the company will cut back on staffing if they find the machines are cost effective. 2. LOVE THOSE MACHINES, they are in 5 Guys and Firehouse Subs. I love Lime Cokes. Cherry Cokes. and Orange FANTAS. 3.I am now more apt to purchase a soda package now that the selection is greatly expanded. are they on the Grandeur? So do I. I'm a big Coke Zero fan. And I don't much like having to ask someone to get me what I can easily get myself. I guess that is one of the reasons that I'm a Windjammer fan too.

AndreaArn Posted July 6, 2014 #31 Share Posted July 6, 2014 We found the machines in Wind Jammers (two near each entrance), next to Sorrento's (two), and found one hidden away in the arcade on deck 15 aft. This is so helpful! Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums[/quote'] You can't get it yourself if RCI doesn't provide a machine and that makes it the staff's job and hardly unfair to them for you to partake of something that you paid for. I certainly understand getting it yourself and not wanting to ask the staff if there is a machine available.

jerseygirl74 Posted January 15, 2015 #33 Share Posted January 15, 2015 November 2014 on Navigator--bought the cup thinking there were machines on board...the person selling them wasn't sure if there were machines on board! Really??!! I don't drink soda but I love the non-carbonated light lemonades...very disappointed! I really didn't need the souvenir cup...just wanted the lemonade. As far as them being serviced...they manage to get all sodas on board. The majority of the drinks are water-based. Frustrating that Royal's ships are so inconsistent.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swath Posted January 15, 2015 #36 Share Posted January 15, 2015 No Fresca??? I hope that's not true. Also... I know they are located in the WJ but where else are the machines located on the Oasis? Deck 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pellaz Posted January 15, 2015 #39 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Does Liberty have FreeStyle machines? (Sure hope so!) On ships that do NOT have them, I assume that conventional chip-activated soda machines are available instead, right? (There was one regular machine -- and only one, AFAIK -- installed on Majesty back on 2010.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purescottish Posted January 15, 2015 #40 Share Posted January 15, 2015 sorry to jump on your thread, but does anyone know if Adventure has a freestyle, my TA has asked 2 people at RCL and got diff answers, one yes and one no...

Thanks wendy x No Freestyle on Liberty or Adventure. As far as I know, if a ship does not have a Freestyle machine, there are no other self-serve soda machines. You would have to get soda from a bar or restaurant. Choices would be Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Ginger Ale, Soda Water, and Tonic Water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering what happened between 2010, when even RCCL's oldest ship, Majesty, had a chip-activated soda fountain, and now, when they've apparently removed those and are replacing them, all too slowly, with FreeStyle machines. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Navigator of the Seas sailed year round out of Galveston, if that is the case then I am wondering why they don't have the freestyle machines.

Justmekaren918 Posted January 16, 2015 #50 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I don't get it RCI made such a big deal about these machines and how much fun to have all the choices! It can't be that hard to run the boat back to old style when the ships are in Europe and beyond! Run the machines when ships are sailing out of the state's! Happier clients.
