petro772 Posted May 20, 2006 #1 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Love all the posts on CC! It has give us a wealth of information preparing for our cruise in July on the Ecstasy! My DW, DD and myself will be cruising for the first time! I've read so many threads I can't remember if this has been covered: Can you take a large, insulated mug up to the bar and have them fill it with Coke, or are you stuck with the small, plastic cups? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribbean dreams Posted May 20, 2006 #2 Share Posted May 20, 2006 The soda's are sold by the can (can't remember the exact price) We always bring a 6k with us and then when we get to a port buy another 6pk. Carnival will allow you to bring water & soda on board just not in large quanities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardinalfan Posted May 20, 2006 #4 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Yes, soft drink cards are still sold and are well worth it. We drink alot of soda and always get a card. And it is Coke products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted May 20, 2006 #5 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Thanks. We were thinking of getting the soft drink cards. Are these still an option? Does anyone know the answer to her other question? If they buy the drink card, will they let you bring a huge mug and fill it up?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathy32259 Posted May 20, 2006 #6 Share Posted May 20, 2006 They sold Carnival insulated large cups with lids where you bought the soft drink card upon embarkation (lido deck) last week on the Triumph. I don't see why they wouldn't fill up your own cup if you brought it. I bought the Carnival one so I can use it at home and pretend....:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendaB1 Posted May 20, 2006 #7 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Does anyone know the answer to her other question? If they buy the drink card, will they let you bring a huge mug and fill it up?? I've never seen it done. They will usually only give you a glass of coke or fill the Coke tumbler sold on board. Most won't even give you the whole can. Just make several trips. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted May 20, 2006 #8 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Although I've never bought a Coke on a cruise (I always bring my own), most of the posters here say it's ONLY a small glass they give you each time, if you have the soda card. Like Brenda said, and I've heard also, they don't give you the entire can they pour it from...only one small glass at a time.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisin_doodles Posted May 21, 2006 #11 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Do they give you the whole can if you are buying it without the soda card? Also, does anyone know if there is Diet Coke with Lime onboard? I just love it! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jleq Posted May 21, 2006 #12 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Do they give you the whole can if you are buying it without the soda card?Also, does anyone know if there is Diet Coke with Lime onboard? You can buy a can. As of earlier this month, it's $1.75 [not including the 15% tip....which brings the cost to just over $2]. I've never seen Diet Coke w/Lime sold aboard CCL ships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petro772 Posted May 21, 2006 Author #13 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Thanks for the inputs, everyone. We'll bring some on board, probably for the evenings, and get the drink card for daytime indulgence! We will also try the large mugs--Carnival ones may work--to see if they'll fill them up. It won't spoil our cruise, though, one way or the other!

S.S.Oceanlover Posted May 21, 2006 #14 Share Posted May 21, 2006 They pour it for you, i have never seen them give anyone the whole can either. I've never even seen them pour from a cans. I have only seen them fill the glasses with those soda guns at the bar. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWolver672 Posted May 21, 2006 #15 Share Posted May 21, 2006 They will only give you one small glass at a time. No exceptions. You can also purchase bottled coke for $2.50 a bottle at the bars. If you are purchasing it without a soda card, they will ask you if you want a bottle or can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undrhil Posted May 21, 2006 #16 Share Posted May 21, 2006 If you buy the drink coupons through Bon Voyage, you get four soda coupons which can be used at any bar or at dinner (which is through the bar anyway) and it includes gratuity. I think it's 6.75 for the four pack of drink coupons. You get the can this way. While on the Fantasy this past week, I used my fountain card (the soda card has a name) at dinner and the barwaiter left the can at the table for us each time "for our convenience." The fountain card cannot be used for room service and neither can the drink coupons, as I found out. But you can use either at the bars around the ship. Also, the drink coupons and, supposedly, the fountain card, can be used at the bars on Half Moon Cay since technically Half Moon Cay is an extension of the ship while you are there. Might want to double-check about the fountain card, but I was able to use the drink coupons while waiting for the tender to arrive to take us back to the Fantasy.
