Yeah... the coffee is surprisingly good, but the iced tea is definitely some weird made from a mix that contains no actual tea concoction. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamomster Posted August 13 #27 Share Posted August 13 Since no one else mentioned it, my son loved being able to use his own card, especially at that age. Don't be surprised if DS is on a first name bases with most bar tenders by the end of the trip. It really helps teach children how to interact with service staff and gives the confidence to handle things on their own. I suggest you keep it. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drazil65 Posted August 14 #28 Share Posted August 14 (edited) Mix half lemonade with half ice tea and it kind of balances out the drink and tastes much better than each one alone! Half the sugar too! Edited August 14 by Drazil65 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On vacations I let him live. same here, so I bought DS a soda package but none for us. I'll carry on some diet Coke for myself, since Carnival serves Pepsi products.

I got the drink package for DH and myself and got the soda package for DS for 7 nights. I'm second guessing myself if I should cancel DS soda considering he'll be with us pretty much the whole time. Would I be able to order for him and myself at the same time? What would you do? Yes you just have to have his S&S card along with yours, we do this all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeniseTr Posted August 18 #32 Share Posted August 18 (edited) Another alternative is those drink drops. Less bulky. Question, how many drinks per day (soda) to make up for the cost of package, keeping in mind that you have to pay for package for every day, even if you don't use it.

When our son was younger, he wasn't much of a soda drinker, but he would get some. He would also get pineapple juice that he loved, which wasn't available for free. The soda package is only soda. No juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would I be able to order for him and myself at the same time? What would you do? The only benefit I would think for your DS to have the soda package is if he'd thoroughly enjoy the experience of going to the bars and ordering his own drinks. Or if it would be good for him to stretch his wings and become more independent. otherwise, I'd just bring on a couple of twelve packs of soda (and maybe get him a custom tumbler made especially for the cruise) my BF and I both got the soda package on our last cruise and at the end decided that it wasn't worth it, we hadn't drunk enough soda to cover the cost of it. It would have been better if we had just carried on our own soda's for the duration. (plus sometimes the wait at the bars to be able to actually GET your soda was sometimes an issue) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisemiluv28 Posted September 1 Author #41 Share Posted September 1 Just returned from an amazing week on the Mardi Gras. DS did enjoy using his card to make his soda purchases. Was it worth it? Money wise? No. But it was priceless seeing him more independent . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were charged for their sodas. We had a few instances in the dining room when we were not charged, but it was not the expectation. We expected to pay for them separately. We did not buy the soda package because they usually only had one per day, either at dinner or in the theater while watching a show. With you commenting that I’m planning on bringing the soda so whenever my daughter wants it can go in the room and get it, which she probably won’t even drink it because she don’t want to go to the room 😂🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were no longer any freebies in the dining room, unlike in 2022. Every drink my son ordered was charged. Between sodas, milkshakes, virgin strawberry daiquiris, and shirts from the gift shop, he spent nearly all of our shareholder, promotional, and early saver OBC! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If youi have a luggage cart or small suitcase to attach to so you don't have to carry. Prob would need to be scanned to board. That would be 36 cans so prob more than enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
