MsSoCalCruiser Posted August 3, 2019 Author #76 Share Posted August 3, 2019 So the Royal is a medallion class ship and I’m not sure how carrying around a soda cup would work. I thought you could order a drink from your medallion and it would be delivered to you? When I ordered the soda package now on a non medallion ship I never carry the cup that they give me. I always get a fresh galss at the bar or wherever I order one from. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cup has to sit on the platform under the spigot. You seem to have experience with this for Royal Caribbean. Are PAX with a beverage package limited to getting their soft drinks from these machines or is it just an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I received plain water as well as sparkling water in bottles and diet Coke from the spigot at any bar and in the restaurants. I don't know how people can consume a bucket of carbonation. It doesn't even keep the beverage cold and it just gets watered down and flat. I didn't use the cup on the cruise but filled it for a long car ride. Condensation collected in my cup holder. I also have cups I received on Princess 10 yrs ago from their ultimate soda package. They are insulated and keep cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot. The new Royal Caribbean cups are just cheap plastic that are only good for holding a cold drink. I wonder what the Princess cups will be like?

They very well might work with a borrowed current authorized Medallion but never with a chip cut from a previous cruise. Of course you could always borrow the authorized persons soda cup if their willing to part with it for a refill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. It was on a cruise ship. He was sitting in the cabin and cutting it out and then he proudly showed how it worked in the machine. His parents seemed to think it was cool.

Search for RCL Soda Package Hack. Two observations: Toward the end of the video a RCL crew member is standing behind the kid watching him filling an unauthorized cup of soda. At the end of the video there is a great shot of a dishonest family showing off the drinks they got without paying for them. They're all smiles about it. It takes all kinds I guess.

Way to teach your kid how to be a criminal. At the end of the video when he used it in the soda machine and they all had cups of soda wasn’t there an employee watching?
