Free Refills/

[lgfromdg]

I know that if I don't purchase the soda card, I will have to pay for a Coke at lunch/dinner in the restaurants. If I want more, do I have to pay for another or are there free refills?

 

Also, how do you purchase pop at the buffets? Do they offer pop or ice tea at breakfast?

If you don't have the soda card when you purchase soda they will give you a can. You pay for a second can if you want more.

 

At the buffet they have you use your room card and purchase a can of soda.

free refills, free anything? on a cruiseship???? I think NOT. lol

[Don Haynes]

For breakfast there are free fruit juices, milk, coffee and hot tea. For lunch and dinner there are for free milk, coffee, hot and ice tea, but no fruit juices.

 

You can buy a soda at one of the lounge fountains with or without the soda card. I believe if you drink 4 sodas a day the soda card pays off. If that is too much you can easily bring soda aboard at any port.

Thanks. I didn't really think there would be free refills, but I had to be sure so I would know if the soda card would be a good option for me.

We had ice tea at breakfast the first few mornings of our cruise last week. After that the staff hadn't turned the ice tea on so DH asked them to turn it on for us. They did, it wasn't hard as the concentrate was still in the machine just not turned on.

 

The ice tea is free.

If I buy a soda card, can I use it to get multiple sodas at the same time? i.e to bring back to the room or for the kids at dinner.

pop

 

LOL

 

I knew before I looked that would would be from either Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, or Ohio.

 

Good old Faygo... you gotta love it.

[Don Haynes]

Yes. I either bring a larger cup or buy one in the gift shop. The souvenir coke thermos NCL gives you when you buy the sticker for the room card, soda card, is not very large.

 

I have had two and three large cups I provide filled without any problems to bring back to the cabin. The room stewards do a great job refilling the ice bucket.

 

However, when using the card in a lounge or restaurant fountain area, you cannot use one soda card to buy a soda for another guest. Its for your consumption only.

[oneeyedguy]

ok, but if I'm in a restaurant with my kids, and I want a mixed drink. Can I still order a soda with the card and let them split it. I don't want my kids drinking gallons of soda evey day and would like to be the one in controll of when they get it. Do they offer soda in the kids club?

[MsMiMi]

This is probably a stupid question, but by any chance is the iced tea sweeteened? Love sweet tea, but can't do it otherwise.

[MsMiMi]

doublepost...?

[Studebaker59]

It's unsweetened.

I think I am confused; it depends on where you are purchasing the drinks. I do see your point as far as not wanting the kids to drink too many cokes. As for offering cokes in the kids club I don't think so, but someone else would be better at answering this than I. Probably the safest way would be to have 1 large container, have it filled, then return to the cabin and have smaller ones you can pour the big one in. Don says he has had more than one container filled at a time, we were with friends a few years ago and it wasn't allowed. NMnita

just another stupid dup; patience isn't my strong suit....

Holg,

 

It almost killed me to use the words "soda card". I grew up in Chicago and we say "pop". If it marks me as a Midwesterner, there's worse things. I could be from New Jersey and want a "water ice".

[cruizinwithkids]

Do they offer soda in the kids club?

 

Actually if you have kids, there is a much more affordable soda program. I believe it's $16.00 for a week.

:confused: I was raised in the Seattle, WA area and I say pop.

Raised in So Calif and I think we used both, but pop was more common.just remembered we actually referred to them as soft drinks more than anything.

Interesting. I lived in So. Cal until age 10 and I never remember hearing the term pop. Soda is what I called it.

[clerky96]

I live in west central Illinois, and here we call it soda. So, I think it is more the region, rather than the state.

Born & raised in SW Washington. We always called it pop, BUT---after I went in the Army and spent over three years with those "right coast foreigners ;) " I started calling it soda as well. Now I use either/both terms.

Grew up in NYC. Never heard the term "pop" until I went away to college and met up with some non-New Yorkers. Interestingly enough, "pop" is fairly common in upstate New York, just not here in NYC.

"Pop" is what they call soda in Buffalo, NY as well.

[House_Atreides]

We called it pop, now in North Carolina it's "a coke" or "soda" and if you want unsweetened iced tea you better specify or you'll get this syrupy sweet tea;)

 

Ships have unsweetened tea FYI
