Royal Caribbean has updated the terms and conditions for their beverage packages — and it affects the Freestyle Soda Cup. Beginning March 15, 2026, the Deluxe and Refreshment Packages will no longer automatically include the Freestyle Cup. Guests with those packages can still purchase the cup onboard for $4.99 to access the Freestyle machines. The Classic Soda Package will continue to include the Freestyle Cup. If you purchase your beverage package before March 15, you should still receive the cup included — but if you cancel and repurchase after that date, the new rules apply. You must have one of the three beverage packages to be eligible to purchase the Freestyle Cup onboard. Without the cup, you can still get soda at bars and in the main dining room — you just won’t have access to the Freestyle machines.
