Default popcorn during movies?

I have a question for all those that have experienced the new seaside theaters. I am assuming Ecstasy will have that when she comes out of drydock in October. My question is, do they serve popcorn during the movies, and if they do, does it cost extra?

TIA!

Popcorn is available for $1.50 and it smelled delicious.

However, the Fantasy class ships, of which the Ecstasy is one, will not have the SeaSide Theater. Sorry...

How do you pay for the popcorn -- cruise card or can you use cash?

It does smell delicious, but it's extremely bland. Hardly any butter.

Kill YOU? What about me? I love popcorn and can't have it because I have diverticulitis so imagine how hard it is so me. And my next cruise will on a ship that has the Seaside Theatre (The Conquest)

Ok, I just went back and re-read the article and no big screen! My kids will be disappointed. Thanks Mach for letting us know this since I must have been under the influence when I read the article..

Yeah... it's the configuration of the pool area that makes it pretty difficult to accomplish. The Spirit class won't be getting the SeaSide Theater, either.

I've gotta tell ya' that it looked like it had been there all along on the Conquest. They did an excellent job of the installation.

The 70,000 watt sound system was AMAZING!!!

Don't remember them having popcorn on the Splendor. We enjoyed some hot chocolate while watching James Bond.

Thats what I was thinking!! I never saw anyone eating popcorn/being sold when I sailed on the Valor a few weeks ago or on the Destiny in April.

The only ship that has it and I've been on was on the Splendor.
