NemoCrownie Posted December 6, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Can anyone currently onboard a ship with the new drink package menus confirm whether Coke is still included with the Classic Pkg. or whether it is only available with the Premium Drink Pkg. now? According to the file, it appears that sodas are now only available with the Premium pkg, which makes no sense to me. If this is the case then I need to upgrade while the packages are still on sale.

jelayne Posted December 6, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 6, 2023 A recent posting of a comparison lists soda under the Premium package not under Classic. So it appears that those who booked with or purchased the Classic package aren’t getting what they paid for. Much like those who book Sky suites with a Butler as a part of the Suite booking, only to find out that the Butler was eliminated. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree soda was on the Classic package when we disembarked on 11/25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted December 6, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I am on board and I am investigating this matter. Guest relations told me yesterday that sodas are included in the plastic. However, I think they also gave me some incorrect information in the same conversation so the investigation continues. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgabriel Posted December 6, 2023 #6 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Watching this ... this would be a ridiculous change. If they have removed soft drinks/pop from the Classic package, what's to stop someone from ordering a rum and coke and asking them to hold the rum or pour it on the side? 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaFej Posted December 6, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 6, 2023 "I'd like a rum and Coke, hold the rum, please." 🙄 Is this a further example of X going out of its way to alienate customers, or is it a further example of incompetence? I'm hoping it's the latter. The awesome staff onboard will be the ones taking any heat generated. That's not directed at Cruisestitch, who will undoubtedly be polite and kind. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare lv2cruisgrl Posted December 6, 2023 #9 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) I just went online and looked and soda isn't on the classic package. It is on the premium one. Edited December 6, 2023 by lv2cruisgrl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare prmssk Posted December 6, 2023 #11 Share Posted December 6, 2023 In the last year or two, sodas and a couple other expected classic offerings disappeared from the website but never materialized as a change on the ships. And in my cruise planner, it still lists soda under the Classic package. So I wouldn't worry unless you hear actual reports from people on the ship of a change.

Rare cruisestitch Posted December 6, 2023 #12 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I have just spoken to two members of the food and beverage management team on silhouette. They are aware that the word “soda” was inadvertently left off of the list of classic beverages . However, soda is definitely included in the classic package. They have requested that the package information be re-printed with sodas included for clarification. 4 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare someguyfl Posted December 6, 2023 #17 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, MamaFej said: "I'd like a rum and Coke, hold the rum, please." 🙄 The correct way to order it is "Virgin Rum and Coke" or "Rum and Coke, Virgin". Also with that said -- I personally don't drink Soda, and haven't even had a sip of it in probably 15 years. I don't even remember what Coke tastes like. But ... it's so cheap, the idea of them nickle-and-diming for Soda and not even including it in the Classic beverage package seems really tacky. IMHO, it should just be part of the base beverages without even the classic package, but, what do I know.

Rare PTC DAWG Posted December 6, 2023 #19 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) I can't imagine Coke products not being on the classic, regardless of that PDF says. I guess I'll find out in Jan. I do enjoy a nice Captain and Diet every now and then. Now that I think about it, I suppose I won't find out, as I already have the Premium Package...
