arcone Posted July 21, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Hi I’m trying to compare price of soda card vs buying individual cans of soda on my Carnival cruise Soda card is $7.50. a Day. No taxes if purchased in international waters. How much is charged for a can of soda On Carnival ? Is there an added on gratitude to soda? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purvis1231 Posted July 21, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 21, 2018 $2.50 plus 15% tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schazzy Posted July 21, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Another thing to factor in is with the soda card, they most likely will pour from a already open can on to a glass of ice, if you are buying individual cans, you get a fresh unopened can and a glass ice. Honestly, if you think you'll drink more than a few sodas on your cruise and are trying to stick to a budget, each person can bring one 12 pack on embarkation day and at each port stop. Best of all, if your cabin has a fridge, you can have cold sodas rather than a warm soda poured over ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatloafsfan Posted July 22, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 22, 2018 From the fun shops you can order 6 cans for $10 (6 cans for the price of 5). Sodas from the bar are $2 each plus gratuity. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcathome Posted July 22, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Sodas come to 2.85 with gratuity. Best just bring 12 cans on and get an ice bucket twice a day if you do not have a fridge. Bring more on at ports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have Cheers or the soda package they'll gladly give you an unopened can if you ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comiso13 Posted July 22, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I am considering bringing my own insulated cup of 30oz. Even with ice, a 12oz coke won't fill it. But I only have to wait 5 minutes to get more coke, right? If I am only going to get ice and a 12oz coke, might as well bring a smaller cup.

Hotshotrucking Posted July 22, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Glad to hear about the bring on a 12 pack option. I almost purchased the soda deal then I got to thinking, we're on a 7 night cruise with 4 ports, all of which we are doing the excursions and will be off the ship. It just sounded like a waste. Great post, thanks for posting info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no tax on the package at all no matter when you buy it. There will be tax on any drink you get while in the home port. There will be added on gratuity no matter when you buy it.

Keeping the cabinet door open to help dissipate the heat helps, but Carnival advises they are not intended to keep contents as cold as a true refrigerator.
