The most recent would have been in March 2018 when we even inquired onboard. However, when we called Royal directly about a month ago to add the Deluxe Drink Package to our booking, we inquired about this very thing since my dad is traveling with us and has the Refreshment. We were told that milkshakes at JR were not included. However we know how much reps truly know and things do tend to vary from ship to ship. I will also say, there might be a big difference between running in to just get a milkshake or ordering it with your meal while there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read a 8/27/19 post, that said he walked into JR and got a milkshake to go, with the refreshment package, that's what made me hopeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no issues ordering 2 entrees in both restaurants. The waiters actually encouraged it as we wanted to try different dishes. No extra charge. Wonderful experience so far with the package. Thank you for taking the time out of your cruise to share your info with us! 1/ I thought with specialty dining, you can order multiple appetizers and desserts, but only one entree? 2/ How was the service at Chops? Were you able to get in/out in 2 hours or less? On 10/7/2019 at 3:22 PM, MrsKC08 said: Formal or not...hubby and I ALWAYS dress to the occasion. It's one of our favorite things to do on a cruise. You both look great, the colors are very complimentary! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least a couple of times in the last few months folks have confirmed that shakes can be had with the refreshment package without food on Harmony. Others reported that they had to order food on other ships. This change may have happened since your last time on board, with the change of everyone in the cabin having to buy the Deluxe package (year+ ago maybe).

I also remember the post on the Royal Caribbean blog about the milkshakes being added and they shared the screenshot from the RCCL website description of the drink packages and it was included in the DELUXE drink package. However, when you look at the website now and the descriptions of the drink packages, it doesn't not indicate the milkshakes at all. As we have seen all over the boards, and from personal experiences, things like this vary from ship to ship and sailing to sailing. I guess we will find out in a few weeks and report back! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsKC08 Posted October 10, 2019 #82 Share Posted October 10, 2019 And I found this. Granted it was posted back in January, but directly from the Royal Caribbean twitter feed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickAinley Posted October 10, 2019 #83 Share Posted October 10, 2019 We were on HOTS couple of a weeks ago and had no problem getting just shakes sat down at 9pm at Johnny Rockets. We just had the refreshment packages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandson got eight JR milkshakes with his refreshment package during our seven-night Symphony cruise without purchasing a meal. He just walked up, got one with his Seapass, and left.

Would you happen to know or could you maybe find out if you can get a milkshake at Johnny Rockets at no charge with the Refreshment Package (it's the one for Virgin Drinks, specialty coffee & teas, fountain soda and bottled waters). I have heard you can and heard you can not! Since you are LIVE, wondered if you'd be so kind as to confirm one way or the other! Thanks and have a GREAT cruise!! Hi, we have the refreshment package as well and yes you can get milkshakes at Johnny Rockets. You can even get them to go. We actually had one today, they are delicious! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just mention that you have the package and the waiters pretty much offer you the kitchen! We love it! We have only ate at Chops for lunch on day 1 so far (dinner is booked for day 7).

One thing that I would like to mention is Izumi (non hibachi side) you can order up to $35 per person and anything over is a charge. Just a follow up to this, we ate at the Hibachi side tonight. We ordered the premium hibachi which costs $49 and with the ultimate dining package, we were charged $4 per person. So not entirely included but can’t complain too much about being charged $4 for a fabulous dinner 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just keep getting info from everyone that you can't get them, or that it's only if you pay for a meal. You are now the second person I read that says you CAN get them to go with refreshment pkg. Since you're LIVE, I trust your answer and we will be enjoying them in less than 2 weeks when we're on Harmony! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to looking your best and feeling you best when you are with the one you love. If your suit or tux is too tight, get it tailored. You will always look better dressed in good fitting, fine clothes. Make an effort. I quite agree. All of these gentlemen appearing without tailcoats and ladies in neither gowns nor gloves are really quite gauche. One must uphold standards, after all.

I don’t expect any kind of full-fledged Halloween decorations. We are also on next week. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted October 11, 2019 #100 Share Posted October 11, 2019 We are on Harmony now. It is second formal night. I would say about 25% of the men are in a sport jacket or better. Everyone else is anywhere from shorts and T-shirts to slacks and a collared shirt. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
