Are smoothies included in any of the drink packages?

We will be taking our first cruise and I have been looking at the drink packages offered on Royal Caribbean. We will be sailing on the Oasis and I was wondering if protein smoothies from Vitality Spa are included in any of the drink packages? I have searched the boards and found conflicting information.

Welcome to Cruise Critic.

 

Smoothies are not included in any beverage packages.

 

However, any of the fresh squeezed juices at the Vitality Spa are included.

Thank you for your reply. A Royal Caribbean rep told me that any package that included fresh juice (Royal Replenish and Ultimate) include fruit smoothies. However, I read other places that said they do not, as you said.

My information is from the crew member who was staffing the Vitalty afe on our Oasis cruise last September. He said something to the effect that as soon as any kind of protein powder is added, it's no longer covered by the package.

 

An easy way to deal with this is to delay purchasing any package until you get on board. Go talk with the crewmembers at the various venues and find out what the packages will cover, before you buy.
