Fuzzyape Posted June 24, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 24, 2019 If this has already been addressed, please let me know (and I'll do more searching in the boards). DW and I are doing the new locks in 2021. We took advantage of the sip and sail sale. My question is this. If I want a diet coke can I get a can? Or will it be the same way they pour it for the soda cards? I know, odd question. I prefer the cans, but if comes from the soda gun no biggie. Hope that makes sense. Thanks Counting down the days.

richmke Posted June 24, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Cans are not included in any of the beverages packages. Only Fountain drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted June 24, 2019 #3 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I believe only fountain sodas are included, no cans. Which cruise will you be on? We are on the Emerald February 23, 2021 for two 15 day B2B cruises thru the canal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Counting down the days. you can buy a can at a 25% discount off the menu price ... not sure about the 18% gratuity as that was paid when you purchased the PBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzyape Posted June 24, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Thanks for the input. Of course with more than a year, I'll have to keep an eye out for any changes :). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsp Posted June 24, 2019 #7 Share Posted June 24, 2019 $70 + a day and you can’t get a can of soda. Wow. Do passengers really actually buy this package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVP133 Posted June 24, 2019 #12 Share Posted June 24, 2019 It's all about the bottom line. It's much more cost effective to dispense a soda from a fountain gun than the same soda from a can. As a result, more profit to the cruise line. I don't begrudge profit to any company but one of my concerns is that the only diet soda available from the fountain guns is Diet Coke with caffeine. Accordingly, if you have a beverage package and want a caffeine-free diet soda, the only option is to purchase a can of Sprite Zero or the like.

BCCRUSINGCOUPLE Posted June 26, 2019 #13 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Actually the only soda you can get by can in the drink package is root beer the pour it from the can however they don't give it to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loving goldens Posted June 26, 2019 #14 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Are you allowed to carry on cans of soda? I assume they have coke products? We would rather Pepsi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would rather Pepsi? Yes, no limits, as much as you like. You can bring on as much non-alcoholic beverage as you like. Our preference, we like to bring on the 7 ounce cans. They are easy to carry around, fit well in the fridge, and are just about right for a single serving. Edited June 26, 2019 by skynight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzer Posted June 26, 2019 #16 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I guess they may factor in the cost of recycling a lot of cans?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzyape Posted June 26, 2019 Author #17 Share Posted June 26, 2019 A couple of things. Normally for DW and I the beverage package isn't worth it. I can't drink that many beers every day to pay for the package. I've purchased cans of diet coke at the bars in the past (I prefer the can over the gun). The only reason we have the package on this cruise is because of the sip and sail sale. Otherwise, we would just pay for it. But lots of good information! Counting down the days!
