Buckett Posted April 18, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I asked this very question yesterday via the chat function on HAL's website and I was told yes, you can buy it on board too. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted April 18, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 18, 2014 You can buy any of the Beverage cards including the soda on the ship. Just go to any bar to buy them. And remember to ask the bar tender to activate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherilyn70 Posted April 18, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 18, 2014 What I'm curious about if is I can have them refund 1 $50 beverage card (earned through our HAL rewards card) in exchange for 2 $25 soda cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can certainly try. Not sure a regular bartender would do this. You might need someone higher up like the Hotel Mgr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask at the front desk. Edited April 18, 2014 by jtl513 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are not promotional cards but actual purchases with my credit card points so they should be refunded if I don't use them by the end of the cruise.

Typhoon1 Posted April 18, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Any bartender, waiter or wine steward will be most willing to sell you a card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are sure that you will get a refund, just buy 2 $25 soda cards and don't use the $50 beverage card. It will all balance out in the end. Of course, it will be easier if they will exchange them on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, I don't think they are refundable in cash or points. edit: i just went searching on the BarclayCard site terms and conditions and can't find it, but I'm sure I saw recently that the rewards are non-refundable.

Just ask for one the first time that you want a soda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to make sure you realized that you can purchase soda with your $50 beverage card. You'll get cans of soda using the beverage card. With a soda card, you will get fountain soda.

We drink enough pop that we also would get more benefit out of the half price glasses. We don't really drink much alcohol or premium coffees. I used to do a latte every morning but haven't been able to since I got cancer. I also can't do much alcohol because my pain meds (oxycontin) are more important.
