The sodas in the dining room come from the bar, and that's where the cards are valid. Bill >> Stay informed about: Which beverages are included in the dining room on RCCL?

If you get a good assistant waiter you can train him to have it ready when you sit down and to keep your glasses filled. And it's free.

On Royal Caribbean you get a card AND an insulated mug, but you may be asked to show the card for soda and not just get the mug filled. Either way, fountain soda can absolutely be had in the dining room (and the Windjammer) by using the card. About the only place we couldn't use the card on our recent Explorer cruise was in the Champagne Bar, which, inexplicably, did not accept it. Weird. Looking forward to hearing about your Galaxy cruise. ~ Peri >> Stay informed about: Which beverages are included in the dining room on RCCL?

I don't know Michael but I am glad I wasn't drinking coffee when I read this. I hate cleaning the keyboard and monitor so early in the day. Thanks for the morning laugh... and the lesson in civility.

My husband buys a card every cruise on RCI and he gets 2 glasses of Coke when the dining room is open for lunch and always at dinner. He also gets the Coke in the Windjammer for breakfast and lunch. The only places the card can't be used is for room service or from the honor bar in the cabin. Those sodas are sold by the can and all drinks from the card are either fountain or some of the bars used bottled Coke. >> Stay informed about: Which beverages are included in the dining room on RCCL?
