I got it for $26.99/day and on my cruise it is now $39.99/day. Soda is $4/$5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrk2cruise Posted September 4 #5 Share Posted September 4 Soda package was $8 pp/pd and only included soda. The Zero Proof package is a replacement for the Premium Non Alcohol package. Soda and Classic Non Alcohol packages were discontinued due to corporate greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last couple times on board I purchased the sodas individually and it worked out for me as far as cost goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaDeb Posted September 5 Author #8 Share Posted September 5 I agree...we were going to get the package but comes back to over 135 CAD for 2 people per day. We'll just pay as we go...really disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaroleSS Posted September 5 #9 Share Posted September 5 You can carry on soda during embarkation if you wish. They won't check it, so you have to carry it, but it might save you some $ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep and eye out for Flash Sale and especially the "Black Friday" and "Cyber Monday" sales. 5 minutes ago, PhillyFan33579 said: It’s crazy how companies make changes to improve their financial situation. Yes, absolutely shocking the things companies do to keep their shareholders happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I think there is a minimum number of days. 3 is the one that sticks in my mind. So you would have to buy the package at least 3 days before the end of the cruise. You might think about how many sodas/coffee/waters you drink in a day. If a soda costs $3 (plus grats = $3.60), you would have to drink more than 8 per day just to break even with a package. It might be better to just pay as you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the non-alcohol package also includes the coffee/teas at Cafe Al Bacio. It would not be unheard of for someone to have a minimum of two coffee's, two soda's, and four bottles of water a day .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaroleSS Posted September 7 #17 Share Posted September 7 (edited) 3 hours ago, jelayne said: Soda are $5 and gratuity and it is $6. Thank you for the clarification. For our upcoming cruise, the "regular" price is $45/day. If we go by that (sales do happen so it could be cheaper) then you still have to drink 7.5 sodas (etc) to break even. Yes, it can be done between sodas, coffee, water......but my suggestion still stands. Do the math for yourself. It might be cheaper to pay as you go. Also, not sure about buying once aboard, but beforehand, both people in the cabin had to buy the package. If you buy onboard, is the other occupant required to purchase as well.....or does it depend upon the person selling them the package?

CaroleSS Posted September 7 #18 Share Posted September 7 If I log in to the app, mine shows a soda is $4, so a total cost of $4.80 (not $6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
