erin6494 Posted August 24, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hello, Has anyone prepurchased the soda/unlimited drink cards using the form available online? If so, are your cruise cards marked when you check in or do you need to go to the Purser's Desk (or somewhere else) to get the sticker. I would love to have them already bought and paid for but do not want my kiddos to have to wait for the delivery to arrive. Would love to hear feedback from anyone with experience. Thanks, Erin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted August 24, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 24, 2011 You will find a voucher in your stateroom that you can take with you and when you order your first soda, they will place the sticker on your cruise card. The sticker is not on your card when you are issued your cruise card at the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltysam Posted August 25, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Is there any way to buy it that actually gives you a better deal? Like less money or a free cup ect....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toto2Kansas Posted August 25, 2011 #6 Share Posted August 25, 2011 well toto, this is the 'something new' i learned today! :) The only thing I can think of that isn't through the voucher system now (off the top of my head) are pre-ordered flowers, which are delivered to the cabin sometime on the first day. I think Princess has become voucher happy! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted August 25, 2011 #7 Share Posted August 25, 2011 And if you don't get around to buying it ahead of time, there will be sooooo many opportunities to buy it the first day.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erin6494 Posted August 25, 2011 Author #8 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Thanks for the info! Just thought it would be one less thing on the charges at the end of the cruise, I will go ahead and purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsjb1 Posted August 25, 2011 #9 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Nope! If there is no discount for prepaying, I can't think of any reason to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo222 Posted August 25, 2011 #10 Share Posted August 25, 2011 If there is no discount for prepaying, I can't think of any reason to do so. I can't either. Last year, my dear mother-in-law had a heart attack three days before we were to sail. Why would I want to have to track down pre-paid items when something like this goes wrong, and we have to cancel the cruise at the last minute? I can't see any upside in paying any earlier than necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vickie_bernie Posted August 25, 2011 #12 Share Posted August 25, 2011 i would also say buy it when you get onboard. friends once bought the coffee card ahead of time and when they presented the voucher at the coffee bar for the coffee card they had no problem; however there was a coupon for a free stainless steel mug when you bought the coffee card. Staff inlcuding manager wouldn not give them the mug because he had bought it prior, and there is no way to know that a TA didn't but it for them. I know it is only a stainless steel mug but guess he really wanted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog Posted August 25, 2011 #13 Share Posted August 25, 2011 last cruise they were selling them by elevators on buffet level. no line ups. no need to pre purchase it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Waynetor Posted August 26, 2011 #14 Share Posted August 26, 2011 A few years ago they would give a discount if you did not want the cup but that option is gone. After a few cruises it's now just one more thing to get rid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
