How much does a can of coke cost on NCL?

[rabidstoat]

I'm trying to decide if I want the soda package or just buying individual cans, so I wanted to do the math. This is on the NCL Joy Panama Canal cruise next month, in case things are different in Europe or Asia.

No sure but I think on the Breakaway it was $3 plus tip

[BirdTravels]

$3.50 a glass (not can) + 20% tip = $4.20

gratefully, we were on the gem for the back  to back, and pepsi was still available by the glass or can. it was around 3 per can, but by the glass it was free with the original drink package. i has a terrific butler, however, who brought me cans of pepsi for my room at no charge

Just returned from cruise on “The Star”. They don’t give you a can they pour in a large glass of ice from the bar fountain. With tax and tip the price was U.S. 4.55. It’s a no win situation. I am not a big soda drinker but enjoy an occasional coke O. So the soda package is a waste on me but I resent paying for a watered down coke at highway robbery prices. I complained in writing to NCL.

If you drink more than three sodas a day, the soda package is worth it.

I'm assuming you are not a casino player.  If you are rated, card-carrying player, drinks in the casino, including sodas, are comped.

Welcome to CC.

Not that I want to rehash this debate but on ships that still have Pepsi products, are the priced the same as Coke or did the changeover come with a price increase?

I believe Pepsi, for those ships which haven't switched over.  On the Joy last month, we had Coke.  The Diet Coke (at least) was canned.  I wouldn't have thought it would be that difficult to switch out Pepsi canisters for Coke on fountain drinks but apparently it is.

I'm a rated casino player but I usually drink when I'm not playing or when the casino isn't open.  I wouldn't be without P+/FAS+ for that reason.  Personally, I rarely drink alcohol in the casino (at the tables, at least) and limit myself to Pellegrino.

If you have the CAS 'free drinks in casino' card, you can get a can of Coke or Diet Coke while the casino is open.  We usually took two cans back to our cabin each day.

Do they have Coke Zero?

When the casino is open

Hi all!

 

I drank Diet Pepsi on Star last month at $4.20 per can, usually from O'Sheehans.

I'm thinking of getting the package just because I'll be bitter over getting a watered-down glass with like 4 ounces of actual soda in it for four bucks. Sigh.

I'm on NCL Joy next month and wondering this. Their website lists only like five or six different types, but I wonder if they ever sometimes have Coke Zero or Sprite Zero.

Want to talk about bitter... I caught Covid on a previous trip and was quarantined in my room for the last 3 days. Had to get meals from room service, and even then they refused to give me cans of sprite. They would only give me glasses, filled with ice, and saran wrap over the tops.

 

I had the drink package and I was in a Haven room. And even I couldn't get a freaking can of sprite without them trying to charge me $4 to bring it to me during my lockdown. So feeling sick and having to drink watered down sprite for 3 days.... fun times.

I once made the mistake of ordering a soda on NCL and received basically a glass of ice.  That made mad.  After that I would specify I want the can.  But now with the ridiculous prices for beverages on NCL, I just go without and wait until I'm in port.  Princess has fountain and can pricing, and can is only $2.36 with service charge.  I'll buy on Princess.  Never on NCL, but if I was desperate I would say no ice, like I would do at McDonald's with the $1 soft drinks.  🤣 Sorry to get off topic...

Nothing stops you from asking for "light ice" or "no ice". We do that all the time.
