La Quinta Ft. Lauderdale Airport, they have shuttles to the port, free breakfast and prices are reasonable.

Thanks for posting this question! I don't drink sparkling but drink a ton of bottled water. No alcohol or soft drinks so was wondering if it was worth it for me. Hubby no problem with the beverage package as he drinks coffee and juices so worth it for him. I had planned on stuffing a case or 1/2 case in my luggage lol

I live in the area. La Quinta near I95 and Sheridan Street in Hollywood is a reasonable and decent place, free breakfast and you can get a shuttle right there that will take you to the port.

Such great responses thank you all so much. I would never get the soda package I'm a water drinker. Guess we are not the norm as we don't drink alcohol anymore and I hate to sound so cheap but to spend $106.20 for the refreshment package just to have some bottled water sounds crazy. I noticed the refreshment package includes juice with breakfast, guess this cruise line doesn't even offer that?!? At least their internet seems reasonable. I'm finding each line has different $ jabs.

Thank you for your response King. Yeah I'll put some in an extra suitcase and hope for the best. :-)

We have previously sailed with Celebrity and could bring a case of spring water onboard with us. Is this allowed with Royal Caribbean Independence of the Seas? All I drink is water. If I can't bring in bottled water and I purchase the soft drink package can I get more than one bottle at a time to take to our cabin in the evening?
