Rare BirdTravels Posted May 2, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Yes. You get a cup with the soda package only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Itchy&Scratchy Posted October 5, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 5, 2018 does the cup have a chip or a sticker or something, like on RCI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwalaska Posted October 5, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Another cup question. What is the style of the current cup? Does it have a straw or a sippy hole? It has been a couple of years since I last sailed NCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted October 6, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I ave never gotten a cup with any beverage package on NCL, this must be something new. As far as straws make sure you bring your own. NCL doesn't give out straws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delaware32 Posted October 6, 2018 #8 Share Posted October 6, 2018 You get a drink cup with a sippy hole . The sticker that indicates either the UBP or soda package is on your card that you receive at check in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourofakind Posted October 7, 2018 #11 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I always get the soda package for my underage son. If I get it as a perk beforehand (soda pkg instead of ubp) I have never received a cup with it. If I buy just the soda package once on board they give me the novelty cup at purchase. The cup is more of a keepsake as anytime you order a soda they put it in it's own cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PATRLR Posted October 7, 2018 #12 Share Posted October 7, 2018 My wife typically gets the soda package and has never received the cup on NCL. Apparently you only get the cup if you buy the package at a specific bar or location (Atrium maybe?). Or maybe you need to go to a specific location to get the cup. If the cup is important to you, ask around as to where you get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LrgPizza Posted October 7, 2018 #13 Share Posted October 7, 2018 The cup is handy if you want about five swallows of soda. Once ice gets put in there, that’s all it holds. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy3427 Posted October 7, 2018 #14 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I always pre-order my soda package; prior to 2018 we always received a cup with each package in our stateroom on the first day. On a sailing in March of 2018 on the Gem we did not receive the cups and were told by guest services they are not offering them anymore if you pre-ordered them online (even though on the website it mentions the cup being part of the package); after I wrote a letter to the Hotel Director I was told I could pick up the cups at the Atrium Cafe'. Pretty round about way in getting our cups. Am sailing in a few weeks, we will see what happens this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Itchy&Scratchy Posted October 7, 2018 #15 Share Posted October 7, 2018 is it possible to buy a soda package for just one person? Is it better to do on the ship or in advance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rigs32 Posted October 7, 2018 #18 Share Posted October 7, 2018 When I buy the soda package ahead of time, I stop at one of the tables selling it and pick up my reusable cup. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abm234b Posted November 26, 2018 #20 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Just to clarify...if I picked the beverage package as perk will I be provided a refillable cup or should I pack one from home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLAHAM Posted November 26, 2018 #21 Share Posted November 26, 2018 The cup is a waste of time. Almost no-one uses it shipboard and it's not an attractive souvenir. It also doesn't hold very much--the Royal cup holds a good deal more. But if you want one, just ask at the Atrium bar (they keep the cups behind the bar).

I actually use the cup since the cups the bars give you are just as small or possibly smaller and they are easier to spill. I like having something with a lid that seals, but that is just me.

We didn’t even bother picking them up, we brought yetis, much bigger and better at keeping beverages hot and cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been my experience on my most recent NCL cruises that you go to the Atrium Bar, show them your card as proof of having a package and they hand over a cup to you there. We tend to sail mainly on the large ships. Takes no time at all, not a big deal. Decorative look of the cup has changed over the years and even within the same year.
