We've gotten the soda package multiple times. All good. There is a machine on the promenade and in the Windjammer. You need to use the soda cup they give you for refills. There is a chip in the bottom that activates the machine. Otherwise it wont work. If you don't like the taste dump and try something else. Also, on your seapass card it will indicate soda package. You can show your seapass card at any bar for free soda.

Thanks for posting Very helpful

Hello- We booked Symphony through BJs Travel. As part of our package we are given a Complimentary Specialty Dinner for 2. However we are not allowed to make a reservation until on board and it says some restrictions may apply. If anyone has rec'd this before, how does it work and what are the restrictions? Thanks

Hi All- How easy it for to get an Uber or Lyft pickup at the Port of Miami when arriving back as opposed to scheduling one in advance? Since we don't know exact timing on when we will be getting off the shift, scheduling in advance is tricky. What have other people done? Thanks -Doug

Harbor Beach is very easy to get to right of the ship and is easy to go to the Oasis Lagoon pool. Also for food skippers grills is easy to get to as well.

There are multiple chair & umbrella rental places and all are not created equally. The lounges and umbrellas at some spaces are much nicer than others. Many reps from the chair rental places hang out near the water taxi drop off and try to get the new folks as they come off the taxi. My advice is to walk around a bit and see the set up & location you like then negotiate with the location. Some of the locations are affiliated with a restaurant and will serve food/drinks while you are on the beach. Also make sure that the place you are renting from has access to a bathroom that you can use. If drinks are included in the rental make sure you know exactly how many and if they are alcoholic or non-alcoholic.
