Creator's Key Takeaways
Wait, y'all. Don't buy your Royal Caribbean drink package until you hear this because something has just changed and it involves this cup.
Beginning March 15th, if you buy the refreshment package or the deluxe beverage package, you will not automatically get the souvenir cup anymore.
If you still want the freestyle soda access, you will have to buy this cup for $4.99.

Big changes are coming to drink packages on Royal Caribbean starting March 15. If you purchase the Refreshment or Deluxe Beverage Package after that date, you will no longer automatically receive the Coca-Cola souvenir cup for freestyle machine access. You can still purchase the cup onboard for $4.99 — but only if you have one of those packages. If you purchased before March 15, 2026, you’re still covered. The Classic Soda Package continues to include the souvenir cup and freestyle access. Is this a big deal or no big deal?
