kruzerci Posted February 16, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Do the Freedom and Majesty still have the Validfill dispensers for soda? I just saw a post from last summer that it had been taken off of the Freedom. Does anybody who has sailed recently know if that is true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-1 Posted February 16, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I believe that was a test program; they no longer have them; they tried them on Oasis and Allure during maiden voyage; but I sailed Allure and the machines were gone. I would like to see them come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP3o Posted February 16, 2011 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Do the Freedom and Majesty still have the Validfill dispensers for soda? I just saw a post from last summer that it had been taken off of the Freedom. Does anybody who has sailed recently know if that is true? That's a shame, I loved them and thought the concept would work. Wonder what the problem was? I thought they'd sell more soda packages since some have been turned off to them b/c they, or their kids, had to wait too long for bar staff to refill. And I thought the bar staff would be happy NOT to need to deal with soda refills, at least by the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ander026 Posted February 16, 2011 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I sailed on the Freedom in Oct/Nov and it had 2 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extractfairy Posted February 16, 2011 #5 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I thought I had just read some reviews where people talked about this being available on the Freedom? I was going to purchase the soda package for my daughter because of the convenience, but if it is not available I may reconsider. Maybe someone that has recently sailed will chime in and give us an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

time4u2go Posted February 17, 2011 #9 Share Posted February 17, 2011 What's a Validfill dispenser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T&JCruisers Posted February 17, 2011 #10 Share Posted February 17, 2011 We were on the Freedom 1/9 - 1/16 and they were on the ship. BUT they dd not work. My husband ordered the coke package ahead of time and had the mug waiting when we got on the ship. He could not get the dispenser to work nor could the crew. We never saw anyone getting them to dispense coke! Judith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare silentbob007 Posted February 17, 2011 #12 Share Posted February 17, 2011 What's a Validfill dispenser? The cups have an RFID chip in them (I assume) so public, unmanned soda dispensers will only work if you have a "valid" cup (ie, from the soda package). They also had a small time limit, as I saw someone get a cup of foam, dump it, and was unable to immediately get a refill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyG12 Posted March 5, 2011 #13 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Just back from the Majesty today. Yes, the ValidFill disperser was there and active. A note on it was very clear that it was good for 2/28 - 3/4 only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
