I saw someone post a review on it today and said some sections of the island were closed off for construction but that beaches weren’t affected.

I have yet to run into anyone that rude on an elevator but I'm not above threatening to shin kick anyone who runs me over or refuses to let me out.

It would be fairly simple to circumvent this, as you could just pour the drink into another glass. It would just inconvenience people with nearly zero actual difference imo, good thought on a compromise.

Touché.

And I don't think the pregnant OP is "entitled" (oh, how I loathe that word). She simply has no use for a drink package with alcohol, soda, juice, or coffee. BUT, she did respond positively to the suggestion of a water package, which suggests she doesn't want anything for free, just that she doesn't want to pay for a package she won't use but also doesn't want her husband to have to pay per drink.

RCI could easily solve the problem of drink sharing by having drink package holders wear bracelets and put package drinks in cups that indicate they are package drinks. Anyone not wearing a drink package bracelet and corresponding cup would be blindly obvious. Any cost of the bracelets/cups would be offset by the savings on drink sharing.

Or they could set a daily limit like other lines.

I'm on the first post-dry dock sail with footzz. I've also read there will be no Chops and that all changes will be things guests never see, which is probably why there was no grand announcement.

I have yet to go on my first cruise but it seems to me, the problem of drink package theft could be resolved by having drink package holders wear a special bracelet and bartenders could serve package drinks in a certain kind of cup that correlates with the bracelet. That way, anyone not wearing a drink package bracelet but drinking a package drink would be blindingly obvious. I'm sure the extra cost of the specially marked cups would be made up in additional drink package purchases when people realize they couldn't get away with it anymore.

You could be like me and have 770 orthodontists onboard (so I've read on our roll call). Lol

Wifi calling isn't always consistent, in my experience. If anyone needs a back-up plan for calls and texting, Google Voice allows you to use the wifi connected to your phone to do so. Most people already have a Google account but you can set up a Google Voice number that uses wifi. You can download the GV app and make calls and texts directly through it. Easy peasy.

You get a new plastic cup with each drink. No refills.

I was wondering if that was the case.

Probably not, for health reasons. Just take the cup they give you and pour it into your cup.

I'm two weeks shy of my first cruise but please correct me if I'm wrong...there isn't a difference in refilling the provided cup vs. your own cup. It's refilling a used cup either way. I don't see why health reasons would be an excuse. Sorry....health inspector's daughter, here.
