They wont give you 2 sodas unless you have 2 cards. I suppose you guys could split one, but thats kind of unethical isnt it?

Sorry, the card is a per person deal ( one soda per card holder)

I am a coke lover and I drink half and half. At home I always keep a regular coke and a diet coke on the counter. Then I fill up a glass with ice and half regular and half diet coke. When I was on the ship and went to get a coke with my soda card, I asked a server in the buffet if I could get half and half. I then explained to them how I mix the two. The server thought that was hilarious and said, "no problem." He came back with half and half. The next day when I came in the buffet, he came running over with a half and half. He said he had to try that himself, as he was a coke drinker but didn't like diet. Said he loved it and I had now started him on something new.

They go out of their way to please, it was amazing to me.

As a Diabetic, I am allowed 2 cokes a day and then I have to switch to diet coke

 

Seriously? I'm diabetic and a few sips of coke would do me in :eek:

It's funny because before I became a diabetic, I NEVER drank regular coke, it was always "diet coke" but then it was like I craved it or something, I don't know how else to explain it. I use to drink 4 but my doctor asked me if I couldn't cut it down to 2 which I did. My tests always come back fine. Coke is my only sweet thing that I consume, nothing else bothers me as i've never been a sweets eater.

Don't have the exact number, but it's around $30 for 7 days, including the 15% gratuity. $3.95 per day comes to mind.

They let you choose what you want. In fact, throughout my recent cruise, I got tons of Diet Cherry Cokes. They took Diet Coke and put cherry grenadine in it. They never gave me a hard time about it.

 

Sometimes when my DS asked for a shirley temple thay would want to charge him even with the card, sometimes they happily did it:D

[Julia’s Journey’s]

:D It also includes all the Shirley Temples you want. Check with my girls on that one! Why, I think they were even beginning to look like her!:D

 

Good luck and enjoy your cruise!

 

Maybe that's why they didn't want to give it to DS:D :D

The price was recently raised to $4.25 per day plus 15 % gratuity so the price for a seven day cruise would be $34.21 per person.

OK, now I have another question about the soda card. Can it be used for anything other than soda?? I tend to drink alot of iced tea out by the pool.

I'm sailing on the Island Princess to the Panama Canal 2/22/09. Anyone else joining me??

Ice tea is free in Horizen court - you will have to go get it though.

3.95 Per day so about 27.65 for a 7 day cruise plus 15% gratuity, about another $4.15. Totaling around 32 dollars.

Actually the price just increased recently to $4.25 per day. See my post above.

I heard it had gone up to $4.25 a day X number of days plus grat.

Yikes it was a lot on our 30day cruise:D

Oh well, must have been all those people pouring rum into it that made the price go up LOL. Still a deal when you drink as much of it as I do.

You must be very sensitive to sweets. Doesn't effect me that way, thank goodness.

[Casshew]

Oh gosh - hope my DH doesn't hear about this. I got him off regular Coke about two years ago. I know he'd love a reason to go back to it.
