nemesees Posted November 12, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2023 The free at sea drink package, does that include a cup/tumbler or any kind of container to hold soda or water, much the same way as RCL includes with their package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemesees Posted November 12, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Thank you. I guess we need to purchase our own, or bring one from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLAHAM Posted November 12, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Bartenders will pour soda into a small, disposable plastic cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ship has glassware, no need to bring some from home. With that said I do bring a water bottle so that I can carry my water around easily on ship or in port.

UKstages Posted November 12, 2023 #6 Share Posted November 12, 2023 i haven’t sailed RCL. i take it the cup is the indicator that you’ve purchased the drink or soda package? and that is how bartenders know they can do an authorized pour? on NCL, your keycard carries that indication, both printed on it and embedded in a chip within. FYI, bottled water or water in a carton is not included in NCL’s entry level drinks package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the ships have a couple of Coke Freestyle machines and the cup has a chip in it to tell the machine that you have the package. You can still go to the bar and ask the bartender though.

nemesees Posted November 12, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted November 12, 2023 That would be a lot of disposable cups when trying to go “green”. There should be a better way to carry soda for the younger kids rather than glass. Especially in pool area, which surely would fall into disposable cups containers. I may bring my RCL cup from home and maybe NCL might someday copy. Easier to fill with ice for overnight cold water. I don’t want to inconvenience cabin steward who already has too much to do.

breadandbutter Posted November 12, 2023 #9 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I take a yeticup, they're great for ice and ice-cream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkyharriet Posted November 12, 2023 #10 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I always bring a steel insulated water bottle and fill it with ice & water from the buffet. I’ve never filled it with soda. The Prima had a Coke machine but when I was on that ship in April it never worked. I think you had to scan your key card to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
