nevin-deb Posted November 12, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Ok I am sailing on majesty in May 2017 If only 1 of us buys the drink package , and gets the souvenir cup. Is there anything stopping one of us using it for say lunch one day and the other using it the next day. Neither of us are that big of soda drinkers that we would need to drink soda every waking moment, we can endure tea or lemonade for a drink. I've read where the cups have a chip in them, beyond that what. Would stop us? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted November 12, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) If you are caught sharing, they will take away the package without a refund. Edited November 12, 2016 by clarea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matj2000 Posted November 12, 2016 #8 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) If you drink that little I would bring your own 12 pack or so. I used to bring some for the kids but we always left most of it. As for splitting, It is one of the Cardinal Sins to many people on this site. However, nobody will know or even care. I have let my kids use that cup that came with the drink package for a few drinks No biggie......... Edited November 12, 2016 by matj2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHouseFootball Posted November 13, 2016 #12 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) No one is going to care. Especially if one of you uses it at one meal and the other at another meal. Even a few sips during the same meal no one is going to say anything. I get the pop package every time and my wife will have a few sips during the week. The chip in the cup makes it so you have to wait like 10 minutes in between refills. Edited November 13, 2016 by BigHouseFootball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they entitle you to unlimited servings. That means that you can serve soda into your souvenir cup from those fountain machines, take a sip, and leave the rest, then you can go to any bar, and ask for a glass of the soda that you like. It's not your fault if the soda from the fountain machine tastes different... Edited November 13, 2016 by Pipo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cello56 Posted November 13, 2016 #15 Share Posted November 13, 2016 The only thing stopping you from sharing the package would be honesty and integrity. Packages are not to be shared. You are now fully aware of that fact. If you still choose to share the soda cup, then you know what you are doing. For some people an indiscretion like this would be of no consequence. For others it would be. Your decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candleonwater Posted November 13, 2016 #16 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Wow. LOVE the moral high ground some people here like to take. Take a chill pill people. I am a long sufferer of "catholic guilt", yet, for some reason this one has never bothered me. I like the freestyle machines, and DD rarely drinks soda, so I would buy her the package and then use the cup. That way, she has the CocaCola logo on her card, should she decide she wants a soda (rare that it is), she can get one. Our waiters at dinner have NEVER cared, and now that we have access to the diamond lounge, it's much less an issue... oh wait, we're not supposed to remove drinks from there... LOL, yet we do it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin'4Us Posted November 13, 2016 #17 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Is there any link between the timing of drinks at the soda machines and drinks at the bar (and vice versa)? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrizer7773 Posted November 14, 2016 #18 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Moral High Ground!?!? Can we do something about the cheaters at the trivia games and scavenger hunts before we worry about the soda thieves?!?

Mnamom1105 Posted November 14, 2016 #19 Share Posted November 14, 2016 No, you are not to be sharing with those who did not purchase. That being said, I will be purchasing in January and sharing with DD, age 5. She won't drink enough to warrant her own package. She prefers water or juice.

BND Posted November 14, 2016 #21 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) Why ask? More than likely to get the responses they got. Whether or not you can get away with it is not the issue. It really is an ethics issue. Have you ever seen the test run on kids. They can tell a lot about children by what they do when left alone in a room with candy (just a couple of M&M's if I remember correctly) and told if they don't eat them they will get a bigger prize (more candy I think). They then leave the room and watch. Some kids will eat them, other's won't even though they don't know they're being watched. It's what you do when no one's looking that shows what your ethics and morals really are. Quit equivocating and rationalizing why it's okay to do something that is expressly addressed in the agreement when you purchase a drink package of any kind. So, let's watch the drink package prices rise and the requirement that everyone in a cabin buy it come back. Some people think their job in life is to figure out how to get around rules, even if they might appear to be inconsequential to some.

Biker19 Posted November 14, 2016 #22 Share Posted November 14, 2016 You don't need to show any cards to have soda cup filled at any bar, I say go for it :D Was asked for the Seapass card at least 3 times when asking for a soda refill of Freestyle cup at a bar.

obnurse Posted November 14, 2016 #24 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Those who choose to share contribute to driving up the price for the everyone. It's not that "they don't care" that you're sharing, it's just very difficult to monitor. It's disappointing that people don't do the right thing simply because it's the right thing to do. It's stealing, plain and simple. Where do you draw the line? A handful of grapes at the grocery store, taking change sitting on your co-workers desk, cheating on your time card.....it's all the same thing. Don't need a chill pill.......I"m quite chilled.
