Mum2Mercury Posted April 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2023 The website says Royal Caribbean's Refreshment Drink Package includes the following: Coca-Cola Freestyle beverages Non-alcoholic cocktails (mocktails) Fountain soda and refills at any venue Bottled still and sparkling water Premium coffees and teas Fresh-squeezed juices Johnny Rockets Shakes Coca-Cola souvenir cup Questions: - What mocktails are good? I'm inclined to lean towards Daquaris and Pina Coladas. - Any mocktails that should be avoided? - Does this package include smoothies from the Vitality Cafe? - This would include iced coffees, right? - Does this cover canned sodas or just fountain sodas? - Anything about the Refreshment Drink Package that would come as a surprise?

DW loves Virgin Miami Vices... It's kind of a half Pina Colada half strawberry daiquiri, I think. Try everything dispose of what you don't like. What I don't like will be different than what you don't like. You can keep ordering until you find what you love. Yes Yes but not at a Starbucks branded kiosk but all the other coffee places are fine. Yes canned soda is included. Don't forget to try the fresh squeezed OJ in the Windjammer. It is amazing.

ceo418 Posted April 26, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I loved the Blueberry Nojito on my Adventure cruise last fall. It's on the mocktails (zero-proof) menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisetorelax44 Posted April 26, 2023 #9 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I love making up my own mocktails. A virgin pina colada with watermelon syrup, or some of the peach mix or mango mix thrown in. Non-frozen? Pineapple juice, cranberry juice, sprite and lime... You can usually get cans of soda everywhere (we started asking exclusively for cans a few cruises ago, because we found the fountain soda mix was just not that good in many places). Be creative, tell a bartender what flavor profiles you like and let them make you something special. You may be surprised 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note a mocktail has no booze. So an Irish coffee on the refreshment package is just coffee...... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrinkm Posted April 26, 2023 #14 Share Posted April 26, 2023 We had the refreshment package for the first time during our cruise at the beginning of April. I had read all of the recommendations and tried several different mocktails. I did not like the Miami Vice or the Blueberry Nojito as much as others seem to, but my OG Nojito was delicious! As was the Watermelon Mint Lemonade. I also enjoyed virgin fruit daquiris (peach, strawberry). My teens loved Shirley Temples and virgin Pina Coladas. 13 hours ago, Bloodgem said: Can you get Irish Coffee with the Refreshment Drink?

Carlos A. Posted April 27, 2023 #16 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Be aware of the canned sodas, some ships will consider them included and some ships wont. On Oasis I had several problems with bartenders and food and drink supervisors because of this. Its not worth the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OG is just slang for original, as in a regular old mojito, but without alcohol/rum, hence the "No"jito... Just very refreshing and Boleros makes the BEST of these! Lime, soda water, mint, sugar.

Now I know 😁 I may give this Nojito a try on September. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted April 29, 2023 #20 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I enjoy a frozen strawberry Margareta- virgin. Also with this package, while you get bottled water, not the same as you get with the delux drink package. Also, my experience no canned soda- from the tap.

bayportkat Posted May 4, 2023 #21 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Is there a list anywhere of mocktails available? I would love to try some different dinks, but wouldn’t even know where to start. Also, is a Shirley temple considered a mocktail? Or would that be covered by the soda package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put "mocktails" in the search box here on the RC CC page. You will find many lists. Or google the word "mocktails". A Shirley Temple would not be covered in the soda package. It would be included in the refreshment package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also prefer canned soda to tap soda so we can bring to our stateroom. You can go to the website for a listing .
