RogueMonk Posted December 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I prepaid for the soda package -- can I use it as soon as I board? Or do I need to wait for the "souvenir cup." Also, after 12 days, that cup will be pretty gross. Is there some way to get it washed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fweegy Posted December 9, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 9, 2022 They should have a station onboard selling soda packages. They will have the cups. Tell them your name and room number, get your cup and your off. I wash mine out in my room at the start of every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your cabin sink and the goo in the shower dispenser should work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a chip in the bottom of it that allows you to use the machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpcruiser Posted December 9, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Just go to almost any bar when you get on. Show them your card and they will give you the cup. I know the bar in front of the Windjammer does, that is where I get mine when I have prepurchased it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proceed to any bar, and tell them you have the soda package and would like you cup. They will verify you package using your boarding pass or room number and give you the cup. They will even fill it for you if the soda you want is available at the bar (e.g. diet coke, club soda). I have had bar tenders rinse out my cup before filling it when I have gotten a fountain soda at the bar. Otherwise, as others said, wash it out in the sink or shower in your stateroom. The cup is only mandator at the soda machines as they are RFID activated and the chip in the cup is what activates the machines, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cups were at all the bars and there were two types, at least on the Wonder two weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkesbaynz Posted December 10, 2022 #11 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Can you get cans of club soda or sparkling water to keep in the cabin fridge. Wife drinks it like a fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mspink98 Posted December 10, 2022 #12 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Washcloth and shower goo at night. They're dry and ready to go by morning. Same with our SS coffee/tea cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife drinks it like a fish! Not with the soda package. Gun only (unless the guns are not working at that particular bar). You might look into the canned soda package in the Gifts area of the web site. Slightly cheaper than bar price for single can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARandomTraveler Posted December 11, 2022 #14 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) If you wanna be really "extra" you can get those dehydrated sponges from Trader Joe's and bring one of those to wash your cup out, and you can pack some dish soap in a travel container. I did this, it takes up almost no room in your suitcase, but I never used it because I only got soda twice. https://www.amazon.com/Trader-Joes-Sponges-Vegetable-Cellulose/dp/B008XLGDDQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?adgrpid=58644762120&gclid=Cj0KCQiAnNacBhDvARIsABnDa68fzRVXzYGUMh9rLneT4s9tbIOz7LevGWgKdRW_t4sOcfj9HrjGgOoaAmejEALw_wcB&hvadid=409958405931&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9028727&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=536699180901712893&hvtargid=kwd-326823099516&hydadcr=12157_11118205&keywords=trader+joe's+pop+up+sponges&qid=1670779905&sr=8-3# The other handy thing I bring for my soda cups is these straws. Every time someone saw me with my cup and straw they'd ask where I got the straw, and they were disappointed to find out it didn't come with the cup.

I like caffeine free diet coke with vanilla. I definitely have to use the machine with that mixture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said you need have the cup to get soda from the machines. I too have done this many times over the past years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
