I am trying to decide how many Soda Packages to buy before the new year because I read that the Soda Package is increasing to $12.99.  Wondering if this is the on-board price? My Cruise Planner currently lists the Soda Package at $9.99 per day.  I guess my actual question is what will be the 2019 price on my Cruise Planner for a pre-cruise price?

They don't offer it any cheaper onboard. Price per day will never go down, but has been going up and up over last couple yrs. As said buy now, can always cancel ltr if you change your mind right up until you set sail. Don't forget prices are actually more then $9.99 and $12.99 with the daily Tip/fee added in. Example is when you pay for a 4 nite cruise at the $9.99 would be $47.15 per person.

I have seen the soda packages for 2018 cruises as 9.99/day or lower and the 2019 cruises as 12.99/day or lower.  I booked each of my 2019 cruises on sales for 9.99 . 

And the soda/voom pkgs for $20/day .

It is usually possible to cancel/rebook if a better price appears.

If it does go to $13 per day, we'll switch to bringing a 12 pack of bottles onboard, and pay out of pocket for the rest, about $4 per soda

 I thought Soda's were only around $2.50 per can onboard? Last couple of cruises I had a package though, so it likely has gone up...but to $4? ouch.

I believe they are $3.50 now, and with 18% gratuity, it comes to $4.13.

I thought RCL stopped letting you bring sodas on board.

Does anyone know how much a bottle of water costs? 

 

We we will be on the Harmony and the RR package is $20 right now. He drinks a lot of water and likes the flavored water from the Freestyle machine. He also has a smoothie once in a while. We have always lucked out and gotten the RR for $15 on sale in the past. My DH will make good use of the package, just not sure if it’s worth it for my son.
