ShyOne60 Posted January 30, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hello, Everyone! We are taking our first Holland America cruise in February, and we haven't taken a cruise in many years, as we usually do land trips. My husband is a big Diet Coke drinker during the day (saving alcohol for the evening :) I see that there is a Fountain Drink package. In your experience, is this worth the price? Do fountain drinks, ice tea, and coffee come "free" at meal time, or is there always a charge for your drinks with the meal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fountain drinks have a charge for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted January 30, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 30, 2018 No matter where you eat, Lido, main dining room, specialty restaurants -- coffee, tea, ice tea are all free. But when you get a fountain drink -- you pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stpatsirish Posted January 30, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I drink Diet Coke as well and usually buy the 25.00 card, as it gets you 50.00 worth of fountain drinks. It usually lasts me the week and whatever is left is credited back to my onboard account on the last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted January 30, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Approximately, how much does it cost per soda? Thank you. I drink very li ttle soda but I think it cost $1.95 for a can of diet coke I only had one or two so I might be off. That includes auto tip that is added.

Krazy Kruizers Posted January 30, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I think that the price of a can of soda has gone up to $2.25 plus gratuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in KY Posted January 30, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I take a carton of Diet Coke on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted January 30, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I bring a 6 pack or 2 on board at embarkation and top-up at ports of call. HAL allows you to bring on as much soda as you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted January 31, 2018 #13 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Thank you. Do they have to be in a luggage case, or can you carry it on as is? All beverages need to be carried on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
