If you order a soda in the dining room, are refills free? Thanks! without a soda card approx $2.00 per soda. Card works at dinner also - one night the bar waiter just brought two sodas to save time. If you order a soda in the DR it is by the can - no refill unless you purchase the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lollylew Posted April 9, 2009 #9 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I will be on the Splendor, April 19th. How much is a soda card on a 7 day cruise? Don't forget that you can bring some of your own soda aboard as well (especially if you don't like the Coke products offered). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjl1960 Posted April 9, 2009 #11 Share Posted April 9, 2009 If you wait until after sailaway...do you just buy it from anyone or what? Or do you have to stand in a long line to get one somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michiganmom25 Posted April 9, 2009 #14 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Boy, can't get over the fact that it seems even a simple soda at dinner is not even "included" in your cruise price. We are new to cruising... first one coming up on 4/23 on the Sensation to the Bahamas. Can someone, anyone, please set the record striaght about what drinks (not alcohol) ae included (free) versus ones that are NOT free at dinner? Thanks!

Thanks! at dinner you can get water, iced tea, (unsweetened) and they won't offer it either but if you ask they'll give it to you. Coffee, capuccino, and espresso. I'm sure I probably forgot some and somebody will fill in the blanks. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winterstale Posted April 9, 2009 #19 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Can you get anything other than soda with a soda card? Say...juice from the bar for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.Oceanlover Posted April 9, 2009 #20 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I just read one line on another post that they did away with soda cards a few months ago? still had them in January and somebody else just posted that they called Carnival and they gave them prices for the card. Whomever posted that was either yanking your chain or was misinformed. I wouldn't be surprised if they switched to the hole punch system like HAL has somewhere down the road.

junebug8 Posted April 9, 2009 #21 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I think I will bring my own soda on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.Oceanlover Posted April 9, 2009 #22 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I think I will bring my own soda on board. So not worth it to me. Gotta lug it onboard. Some ships don't have the fridges. Gotta keep running back and forth to the cabin for another can. My wife gets the soda card for herself and I love the free lemonade so I'm always drinking that. Have fun.:) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigandergrl Posted April 9, 2009 #23 Share Posted April 9, 2009 My brother paid $46 for a soda card on a 7 day cruise on the Legend last month. I thought that was quite expensive for pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
