djede Posted October 8, 2010 #26 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Am I reading this correctly that a bucket of Bud Light beer is $24 for 4 bottles. For some reason I thought that was for 5 beers. Just questioning for a neighbor who will be sailing Carnival in Jan and drinks that stuff like it was water. :eek: Thanks! No one really answered this question/comment above ..I just came off of a NCL cruise and it was buy 5 get one free...so 6 Budweiser cost $25...BTW where did you see the 4 beers for $24 anyway Soft drink card for $51 ...is that for a 7 day cruise or on all cruises we ar going on a 5 day and that would mean my son would havce to drink 25 sodas to break even Drink coupons what are those ..buy in advance and save type of thing Thanks in advance Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tef43 Posted October 8, 2010 #27 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Soft drink card for $51 ...is that for a 7 day cruise or on all cruises we ar going on a 5 day and that would mean my son would havce to drink 25 sodas to break even The price of the soda card is based on the number of days of the cruise. The daily break-even for an adult is approximately 4 servings per day. http://www.carnival.com/cms/faq/default.aspx?faq=soda#q-544436 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papilliontraveler Posted October 8, 2010 Author #29 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Now I remember what the "savings" is - the gratuity. If there were a drink valued at $5.25 you would save the cost of the tip. I understand what the savings is supposed to be, but how do you get a $21.25 value from $21 worth of drinks? Even if you calculated the gratuities in(which are supposed to be included), that would be an additional .79(15%) per drink. So I would think they would want to say it is a $24.16 value. Not a big deal since I am not interested in them, just my OCD working overtime trying to figure it out. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect Stranger Posted October 8, 2010 #30 Share Posted October 8, 2010 How much is the martini tasting they have the first night? When they advertise flavored mojitos in the casino for a few hours, how much are they? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennmaybe Posted October 8, 2010 #34 Share Posted October 8, 2010 One thing I do as well is I never buy the soda card while still in port. You will pay tax on it. I wait until we're out in international waters, so I save a little bit. Not much, but every little bit helps. Also, yes, they did change to the soda "stamp" that goes on your S & S card. I haven't had this yet, so I did forget about reading that. I will be getting mine next weekend though!:) Happy cruising to all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disneyden Posted October 9, 2010 #40 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I thought that you could use the drink coupons for ANY of the drinks. Please tell me that I'm right since I just purchased quite a few of them for our upcoming cruise. :confused: I would hate to think that I could ONLY get rum/coke or vodka/sour with them...

You can use them for any drink, it's just that if the drink costs more than $5.25 the remained is charged to your S&S card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
