Any Free Drinks Included at Dinnertime?

[ahotcouple]

We are sailing the Liberty in a couple of weeks, and just wondering if any drinks can be ordered for free during the evening sitdown meal in the dining room.

By free drinks I mean the obvious, such as juice/ milk/ soft drinks (non-alcoholic) inc adults and kids.

 

Thanks!!!

I have asked for milk and iced tea and never been charged. DH and DS use their soda cards to get drinks for dinner - at no additional charge.

You can order espresso and capachino (sp?) after dinner for free. Love it.

I believe with dinner you are supposed to get one soft drink for no charge.

This has never been the case with me. There's always a charge, unless you have a Fountain card (or a very good/generous bar waiter)

I think this is true for the kids...but sadly not for the adults :o !

Never have I known this to be true. Free drinks are, juice, milk (white or chocolate), tea, coffee, and water.

Maybe I need to state you only get these free in the dining room. I eat in the dining room almost all the time, so thats how I read the question.

 

I notice no one else is mentioning these free drinks, maybe they are talking in general in the buffet.

 

I believe you can also get them after breakfast and lunch in the dining room free of charge.

 

Also, you can get other juices in the dining room for breakfast than in the buffet.

You can't use your Fountain Fun Card at the main dining room if you're under 12 years of age. My PVP confirmed this

We've always used out FFC in the main dining rooms including in December on the Triumph...never had a problem.

I don't understand this... does this mean no soda for kids under 12? Or are you trying to say kids under 12 don't need a Fountain Fun card in the dining room?

I am pretty sure that soda is available for the kids in the dining room - at no charge.

You're PVP must have been misinformed by his/her supervisor. MY DH and MIL both used their FFCs in the Dining room.

 

And Firefly, I was only referring to the dining room, but you are correct about the espresso, cappucino (sp) and the wider variety of juices. I sometimes like tomato juice in the morning and make a trip to the dining room some mornings just for that.

It used to be in Carnivals FAQ's that children under age of 12 would receive free soft drinks in the dining room. A couple years ago they removed it and there were gumblings on these boards about people being charged and since the FAQ's were changed there was no "proof" that it even existed. Mine has since passed the age so I haven't tested the theory lately. I know in 2003 they were still giving them free and I guess if you have a nice bar maid they might give you free drinks for the kiddos - but don't count on it. Same thing with the hot drinks after dinner - it's hit and miss. Some ships/servers will give them for free but there have been cases reported on these boards where people were charged. Best to ask first.

 

As with everything else in the last few years Carnival is cutting back every where. Pretty soon we're going to get charged for ice tea and juice.

 

Anything that you can get at the free drink stations on the lido are available in the dining room including milk.

Both of my kids got hot chocolate with dinner every night. It was better than the hot chocolate that they got at the coffee bar upstairs - and it was free!

My son was 10 when we did the Alaskan cruise and he used his coke card in the dining room. Never had a problem! :D

[sea_u_onboard]

Soda card is never a problem regardless of age.

 

Forgot about the hot cocoa - it is wonderful in the dining room.

[sea_u_onboard]

Since the board won't let me add - soda card not a problem ANYWHERE on the ship. It's not having a soda card that could be an issue - again regardless of age.

 

Kids without soda cards can get free sodas at the past guest party and captains cocktail party.
