Jo and Rob Posted February 6, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I've got the full non alcoholic package. Is the fridge on Royal Caribbean empty on arrival or will I need to get the steward to empty it to make space. Are there any cans at all I can get on my package? Also the water, is that large or small bottles? Where would I go on Anthem to get my included in the package coffee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fridge will be mostly full of items to purchase, none of which are included in any package. No cans available in any package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted February 6, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 6, 2016 That's right...neither the "in cabin" stuff or room service is included in your package. All sodas are fountain drinks, served in a glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookwife Posted February 6, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 6, 2016 it is fountain soda only. they are coolers in the cabins they are not true fridges. you can request that it be emptied standard single serve bottles for the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouhunter Posted February 6, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 6, 2016 If you mean "stocking the fridge" is a way to get the most of it, the fridges rarely keep anything truly cold. The nearest bar to get whatever you want is never far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can your stateroom attendant to empty the fridge, but don't be surprised if they say it's not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molsonschooner Posted February 6, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Which non alcoholic frozen cocktails would you recommend?(and non frozen!) there are so many to choose from. I think almost any frozen cocktail can be made without alcohol. My favourite is the virgin Miami Vice. i have one of them when my wife has a real one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bobmacliberty Posted February 6, 2016 #12 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Sounds interesting. What's in it? A Miami Vice is half Strawberry Daiquiri and half Pina Colada. My favorite frozen drink. Remove the rum from both to make it virgin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbie0253 Posted February 6, 2016 #13 Share Posted February 6, 2016 We had our fridge emptied once and somehow they charged us for the entire contents of the fridge on the last morning of the cruise. Somehow they " forgot" they emptied it. :/ line at the pursers desk was too long to justify the $45 during disembarkation. That was the first and last time we had it emptied.

astera Posted February 6, 2016 #14 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Remember to make use of the freshly squeezed orange juice, though on some ships this is a gimmick and won't be served after 10am... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BekkaW Posted February 7, 2016 #15 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I love this package and always get it. To get the most out of it my day usually goes something like this Fresh OJ and a latte with breakfast Caramel macchiato or another latte in the morning at whatever activity I go to Grab bottle of water at some point in the morning Diet coke and sparkling water at lunch 2 or 3 virgin cocktails around the pool in the afternoon - I love the frozen mojito, daiquiri or piña colada More bottled water Dinner time I bring wine onboard but also have 2 or 3 sparkling waters with dinner After dinner more virgin frozen mojito, diet coke or sparkling water - depends what I'm doing. If casino, diet coke is the easiest to get. Grab one or two more bottled waters to take back to the cabin overnight It's very easy to get your money's worth with this package!

astera Posted February 7, 2016 #16 Share Posted February 7, 2016 It's very easy to get your money's worth with this package! You really have to like their virgin cocktails to make this package worthwhile. I always get it for my lady but I don't think we come out ahead at all due to her not liking most of those drinks (too sweet). :) On the Radiance they wouldn't operate the OJ machine after breakfast, so it was essentially coffee and water that was left. P.S. On a side note, I noticed you've gone from the Oasis to the Voyager to the Radiance. How did you rate each change? I've gone from the Voyager to the Radiance and wasn't too thrilled with the downsizing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaskawdw12 Posted February 7, 2016 #18 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Which non alcoholic frozen cocktails would you recommend?(and non frozen!) We really liked the Mudslide, which is like a chocolate and vanilla milkshake. We also got a lot of coffee, frozen coffee drinks and Tazo tea. We really enjoyed this package!

P.S. On a side note, I noticed you've gone from the Oasis to the Voyager to the Radiance. How did you rate each change? I've gone from the Voyager to the Radiance and wasn't too thrilled with the downsizing... I liked all of them for different reasons. Oasis was great because there were a lot of options. Hubby especially likes to be active (I'm happy to lie by the pool and read) so perfect ship for him. We had a package for specialty Restaurants and were amazed by how good they were. We both enjoyed Voyager also, our first trip on her was 14 nights and I never felt there wasn't anything to do. The layout of the windjammer is better. Fewer specialty restaurants but we had great table mates and ate in MDR all but 2 nights. On both these ships we liked the royal promenade area too. I think Radiance is a beautiful ship. I love sitting in the champagne bar or schooner bar with the ocean views. Colony club is also an amazing space, and the outdoor area at the back of the windjammer is wonderful. We did both notice the smallness of this ship though. We were with an extended family group so it wasn't that much of an issue. Overall I think they all have different pluses and minuses but I haven't been unhappy with any of them. We're going on Voyager again in a few weeks and are booked on Harmony later in the year. I definitely would book Radiance again if the price and itinerary were right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clevverfirst Posted February 7, 2016 #22 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Is it possible to request fridge emptying (and having the beds put together, while I'm at it) by my stateroom ahead of time? Would I just call the 1-800 number for RCCL and ask for it, and they'd make a note on my reservation? I've tried to see an option for requesting it online and can't find one. And I'd rather not wait until the day of and make more work for an already busy attendant if I don't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clevverfirst Posted February 7, 2016 #24 Share Posted February 7, 2016 You can try calling, but I suspect they will say it cannot be done. Even for the bed formation? That seems like a TON of extra work for cabin attendants to have all the beds separate, then the day of embarkation have to change who knows how many based on people requesting it last minute. Oh well, not too big of a deal (for me, anyways). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't waste your time. Even 20 seconds. Even if they SAY that they will note it on your reservation, it won't happen. (This is for the fridge-emptying. Beds together is their default mode) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
