sea_u_onboard Posted January 7, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Strange. I decided I would just go ahead and purchase the soda and more cards before our cruise this Saturday. Although the form states must be purchased 72 hours in advance it wouldn't let the agent add it to my booking. He put me on hold, came back and told me the cut off is 8 days before sailing - HUH?? I told him the form said 72 hours and he said he could try and push it through but knowing my luck something would get messed up so I'll just wait until I get on board. There are a few special occasion items that state 5 days in advance but all I wanted was the drink card. Anyone else have problems adding an item close to sailing?

vickie_bernie Posted January 7, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 7, 2014 as soon as you board you will be able to buy it from any bar or waiter in Interational Cafe, Horizon Court, Dining room, or any bar. They often have tables set up around the pool too with someone selling the ultimate soda card, which really isn't a card but a sticker placed on your cruise card.

Pam in CA Posted January 7, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) There's no benefit to pre-purchasing a soda card as opposed to on the ship. It's the same price. You can buy one at any bar, lounge, dining room, restaurant, buffet, International Cafe, and pretty much anywhere on Lido deck, not to mention a table probably set up just as you board. All you have to do is ask. Edited January 7, 2014 by Pam in CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea_u_onboard Posted January 7, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I was going to purchase flowers also but figure I can do it on board also. Just thought it was strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you have to do is ask. Usually you do not have to ask. Our experience is that you will be asked at least six times after embarking to make the purchase.
