Do I have to carry the Souvenir Cup around?

[namklis]

So I'm thinking of getting the unlimited soda package for our Oasis cruise next month.

The only thing that worries me is the inconvenience of carrying the cup around. I mean if I'm swimming and I forget the cup in my cabin, do I need to first get it before I can get a drink or can I get one from the bar?

Also, on the islands do I need to carry the cup with me- it seems very inconvenient.

Thanks for any advice.

The cup is only for Freestyle machines. You can get soda from the bar by showing your seapass card

Thanks - that makes it easier.

I've never used the soda cup. I get my soda from the bars around the ship by showing my Sea Pass card.

If you are wanting to mix coke flavors you WILL have to carry the cup around as the Bars do not have the Freestyle Machines. These machines are self-serve and located only in designated areas of the ship - not bars.

thanks for the heads up..

Yes. You should carry your soda cup around. It is an important status symbol.

[setsail]

The cup serves a dual purpose. Mixed drinks on ice last a long time in one of these , while moving around the ship or during a show:D

 

But to answer your question, no

On ships without the Freestyle machines, I don't even remove the soda cup from the plastic overwrap and I leave it in the cabin at the end of the cruise, hoping it'll be offered to someone else who wants it on a future cruise. I've just got too many of them cluttering the house already!

Like Disney cruisers and their lanyards?

I have one word for you, Marc. And it's NOT "plastics". ;)

 

EBAY.

People will buy a grilled cheese sandwich that "looks like Jesus".

 

They'll buy anything.

I did a quick check on eBay. For the search I used, I found several relevant auctions, but checking the completed ones didn't show anything in the way of auctions that actually sold.

EBAY.

 

Is the answer to getting rid of all your unwanted RCI stuff. Loads of stuff listed there.

 

The stuff sells. On a recent cruise we met a couple that had bought all kinds of stuff, bags, towels, key chains etc and thay had it all with them.It was their first Royal cruise.

I have always hated the "souvenir cup". But since the Freestyle Soda Machines? LOVING IT!!!

You sound like Mrs. Robinson. OK, I know it was a guy who said it but I can't remember his name and didn't want to look in IMDb.

 

[edited to add: OK so my OCD compelled me to look. You sound like Mr. McGuire (who was playted by Walter Brooke)]

 

But we use garage sales. Mary says they go for about a buck apiece -- and there is no shipping involved.

[palofmine]

I keep all my cups, because it only cost 75 cents to refill at gas stations on road trips.

[Arizona Laura]

I usually don’t carry the cup with me. I ask for glasses of Coke even in the WJ instead of using the Freestyle machines.

One or two. But the cups are to keep our drinks cool out on our tractors.

You get a 'coke' symbol on your seapass card so they know you have the soda package, so no need to carry the cup around... after a few days the bartenders recognise you and dont even ask anymore!
