Canned Soda Package

[Seafan22]

I have ordered some six-packs of soda from the Canned Soda Package, what is it that you do to get this delivered to the room?

[chrysalis]

it should already be in your room when you arrive, or shortly afterwards.

 

Call room service if you don't get it.

[dog]

You need to call room service after you embark to tell them what kinds you want.

 

you can carry on 12 cans of soda pp when you board d. Cheaper.

We are on the Sky right now so I can share how it worked for us. We ordered three of the six packs. When we arrived to our cabin on embarkation day there were three certificates, one for each package. We simply had to call room service to inform them what we wanted and we requested our Elite minibar switch out at the same time. We also ordered the bottled water package and that was already delivered and waiting for us in our cabin.

Karatemom2 is correct, we always order canned soda packages and that is exactly how it works. You will have certificates in your cabin  and need to call room service to tell them what kind of soda you want they will deliver it. 

[Seafan22]

Thank you very much for the information.  Even though we will likely carry on some soda, for our 31-day trip we thought we may needs some reinforcments.

Do you recall what the choices were? 

Copied from the site for Sky Princess August 2024:

 

Choice of six cans: Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Diet Sprite, orange soda, soda water, tonic water, ginger ale.

Are these the choices you encountered as well?

 

How is your trip??  I sure have appreciated your feedback on your previous Norwegian Fjord cruise.  Hope you have a wonderful time!@

The cruise has been spectacular! I’ll do a full review when I get home. 
 

Sorry, I can’t really help on the choices as the only thing we requested was Diet Coke. I will note though that they fulfilled the order with Coke Zero instead which I don’t like as much. They replaced some with Diet Coke at my request but were apparently running out and now all we can get onboard is Coke Zero. Seems to be the dominate option here in Norway.

Glad to hear it's been great so far!!  Can't wait to read your review.

 

Had to laugh - you are just like me - I prefer Diet Coke - hubby loves Coke Zero, so he'll be happy.  In my perfect world, they would have Diet Dr Pepper!  I'm actually thinking about buying some soda at the Tesco Express at Southampton Central (train station) before we grab a taxi to the ship. We don't do a package so we're usually hauling stuff on.

 

Have a wonderful rest of your cruise!

My husband is a Pepsi man. He's going to be unhappy. I agree about diet Dr. Pepper though!

@Seafan22 I believe these are the sodas available on most Princess ships.

I will eagerly await your review as I have booked the Midnight Summer Solstice Cruise for 2026.

So glad you are have a great cruise.

I have not read all the postings, but I gather the soda or water that you are referring to is NOT included in the $60 or $80 package, correct?

The sodas ARE included in Plus and Premier ($60 and $80 packages).

OP is apparently booking Standard fare (without Plus or Premier).

We don’t buy the packages. Not a good investment for us. But we like to have sodas and water in our stateroom cold in the fridge throughout our cruise so, like the OP, we preorder the very reasonably priced canned soda and water packages which are delivered to your stateroom at embarkation. Very cost effective and convenient!

[LeeW]

Soda package on Princess used to be $6/day.  Now that they have combined it with a mocktail package we no longer buy it.  Bring a 12 pack, convert entire minibar to Diet Coke and if we needed extras now buy several 6 packs pre-cruise (much cheaper than bar price onboard).

 

On our 14 day Norway cruise we called per the card and sodas were delivered within an hour or so.  Swapping out the minibar didn't happen until after dinner.

[CruisinCouple2010]

Can someone please tell me where I would find the preorder 6 pack soda package on the Princess web site. I looked for it but it did not show up under packages offered. Thank you.

[chrysalis]

under beverage tab when you are signed in for your particular cruise

[CruisinCouple2010]

yes I found it thank you

What? What? You can also carry on soda? 

We've always bought the beverage package for cruises, but now that we're doing a long one (for us anyway...29 days), we want to drink "more reasonably". So we plan to bring on wine to dinner (and pay the corkage fee)  and I had planned to prebuy some soda cans. So happy to know I can bring on some diet Dr. Pepper as well. Is it 12 cans per person or cabin? Could it be cans of sparkling water instead, or just soda?

You can usually restock during port visits.

Thank you, I was going to ask if we'd be able to restock at ports on our Alaska cruise next year. Glad to know we should be able to.
