cruisingpluto Posted August 25, 2010 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Anyone know how much the 14 night soda card is? I tried doing a search and most people have answers for everything except the 14 night haha... I'm assuming it'll still be around $6 a day. Thanks in advance!

luvscruising2007 Posted August 25, 2010 #2 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Yeah, it is $6+ per day. The number of days does not impact the price per day. I can't imagine paying $84 for soda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Booper Posted August 25, 2010 #3 Share Posted August 25, 2010 It was $6 per day on our Explorer 2009 holiday trip plus 15% tip. You can drink a lot of soda on a trip with 7 sea days. Burp.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincesScuba Posted August 25, 2010 #4 Share Posted August 25, 2010 $6 x 14 + 15% = $96.60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted August 25, 2010 #5 Share Posted August 25, 2010 You can buy a can of soda for $2.24 without the soda card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beach4me Posted August 26, 2010 #6 Share Posted August 26, 2010 $6 x 14 + 15% = $96.60 Yep - this is exactly what it costs. We bought one for our upcoming 14-night Ultimate Alaska on the Radiance and it was $96.60 per card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomarvin Posted August 26, 2010 #7 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Not for nothing but if you can afford 14 days on RCI then $96 should be too much of an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingpluto Posted August 26, 2010 Author #8 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Not for nothing but if you can afford 14 days on RCI then $96 should be too much of an issue. i never said i couldn't afford it or had a problem with paying for it...? i never went on a 14 day and was asking for the price so i can budget correctly and know how much points to redeem... and no i can't afford a 14 day cruise. my family is paying for 80% of it as a christmas, birthday and belated graduation present to me. $96 is still $96 regardless if i or someone else can afford a 14 day cruise. just like $1 is still $1... ---------------------------------------------- thanks everyone above for clarifying!

thomarvin Posted August 26, 2010 #11 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I do! I just wish we had done the 9 day rather than the 5 day. DH thought the kids would be bored. Did a 7 last year and they were by the end. But that one was Carnival. Couldnt convince him. In addition, this was a group cruise with Autism on the Seas. Our youngest has autism and they are a great group to cruise with if you have family members with autism. It was worth if for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffy116 Posted August 26, 2010 #12 Share Posted August 26, 2010 But sure as we do, we will CRAVE soda and be throwing money left and right for cans. Consider just a soda for lunch and dinner, or one or two while gambling, sitting around at the Promenade Cafe, refilling your Soda card cup before heading down the pier to port, late night or early morning refresher..we always crumple and yield to temptation on a vacation :confused: so purchasing the Soda Card happens on every cruise outside the Windjammer before we eat or drink our first meal onboard. Besides, I'm from the deep South, love iced tea, and it would normally be our "drink of choice" but that's just one of the few things we HATE on the cruise. Their iced tea is just the worst. Sadly, McDonald's has killer iced tea :eek:...why can't RCCL do good iced tea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomarvin Posted August 26, 2010 #13 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I love McDonald's coffee. I haven't tried their iced tea. Will have to give it a try. I always found the coffee on the ship horrible. I wasnt thrilled with the specialty coffee either. Carnival has good coffee so I know it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

read52 Posted August 26, 2010 #15 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I don't drink alcohol, coffee or tea. The lemonade is ok. I drink water, soda and juices. $6+ a day is cheaper than one drink of the day sometimes. I like to be able to get a soda whenever and whereever I am on the ship and not run back to the room. For me it is worth the price. We even started buying the water. Our soda and water bill is cheaper than some bar bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady_cruiser Posted August 26, 2010 #16 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I know that with the soda card you can get coke, diet coke, sprite and diet sprit. But what kind of juice can you get with the soda card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomarvin Posted August 26, 2010 #17 Share Posted August 26, 2010 None. I wanted a club soda with cranberry juice. The waiter told me I could get the club soda for free but had to pay for the Cranberry juice. Whatever. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what kind of juice can you get with the soda card? It is strictly a FOUNTAIN SODA card. "On the gun" they have: Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite and club soda/carbonated water. That's it. Sometimes you will find a bartender who will give you a can of something, but you can't plan on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady_cruiser Posted August 27, 2010 #21 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Thanks everyone who took time to answer me. I'll still buy the card but will just have to make sure I have my thermo mug filled with apple juice or orange juice in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toovey Posted August 27, 2010 #22 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I have no problem now with the taste of RCL iced tea I just add Splenda to it. For non drinkers I find the soda card is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
