could anyone explain the soda drinks included in the soda package are they branded drinks ie coca cola, sprite,fanta. thanks

Yes, although the drinks for the soda pass are bar fountain gun dispensed, and not served in cans or bottles. In other words, when you order a Coke using your soda pass you get a standard bar glass of soda (or a refill of your souvenir cup), and not a full can or bottle.

And this is what I don't understand about the soda on board, it tastes awful! I thougth at first the guy had mixed them up and gave us diet coke, but they all tasted the same. Later on the cruise I guess we got used to the taste of them and it didn't bother us, but why are they so different? Even the sprite tasted funny!

i think its probably because they come out of the same pipe. can anyone tell me how much the daily rate is on the liberty.

I don't know about the Liberty, but on the Majesty, it was about $2.00 including the 15% gratuity that is automatically added to the bill. If you think you will be drinking more than three sodas a day, then it is probably worth it to get the soda pass.

Is the cup the same metal RCCL & Coke as it has been?

The fountain drink package on all of RCCL ships cost $6.00 per person, per day, plus 15% gratuity. Here's a link to RCCL info http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/experiencetyp...ioan0?br=R&exCode=32

LOL...they change the cup up now and again, see the website for the current dark red one. I have a few, but I am gonna try and bring pepsi on board. Please no discussion on the differences between soft drinks, but I will let you know how the pepsi goes....

How do they determine age?( for soda card purposes) We are traveling with 4 kids - 7, 14, almost 18 and just turned 18 a week ago.
Will we show some ID for each, will they ask, or do they go by appearance?
