Check the cup as well as the package.

Royal Caribbean’s current beverage FAQ says that, from 15 March 2026, the Deluxe and Refreshment packages no longer include a Coca-Cola Freestyle cup. The Classic Soda Package continues to include one. The FAQ lists a US$4.99 onboard purchase price for a cup for the other packages.
What this changes in your planning
If Freestyle-machine access matters to you, check the current package wording and your sailing’s price before purchase. Do not assume an older package description still applies. This is a dated policy report, not a live offer or a claim that all drinks require this cup.
Check the full package decision
The cup is a small part of the total. Use your whole party’s realistic drinks basket, required buyers and final package price in our drinks-package comparison. Confirm market-specific conditions directly with the operator.
