Creator's Key Takeaways
Royal Caribbean just removed a popular perk from its drink packages.
Starting March 15th, 2026, the Coca-Cola souvenir cup and access to the freestyle machines will no longer be included with the deluxe or royal refreshment drink packages.
If you still want freestyle access, you'll need to buy the souvenir cup on board for $4.99.
For a family of five, that's about $25 more on top of already pricey drink packages that run from $32 to $115 per person per day.

Royal Caribbean just made a big change to its drink packages — the Coca‑Cola Freestyle souvenir cup is no longer included with the Deluxe or Refreshment packages. Starting March 15, 2026, guests will need to pay $4.99 onboard if they want access to the Freestyle machines. The Classic Soda Package still includes the cup, but this update affects anyone who relies on self‑serve drinks or flavored soda options.
