Extension of soda pkg from one cruise to the next one

[gbcruise]

Our youngest adult son cruised with us on a 8 day Odyssey cruise recently and had the soda pkg. He mentioned that his soda cup extended past the 8 days and could be used up to another 5 days. He flew home to his job and we then boarded Freedom the following day after disembarking Odyssey. Curious, I took the cup to see if it would work thinking there is no way. It did. Now before anyone thinks I kept using it, I did not as I had plenty of drink coupons that at times go to waste. I'm just wondering how that makes sense and if anyone else had found this to happen?

Thanks for testing that theory, as I have also wondered why the expiration date on those cups goes into the next cruise.

The cup does work for about two weeks after activation but it very unusual for it to work on two different ships.
