Club soda is indeed available on board and is charged the same as soft drinks.

 

 

 

You are allowed to bring soda on board so you can bring club soda on board at embarkation and any of your ports of call.

 

 

 

There is a soda card available which is basically half price ($25 for $50 worth), but from all reports, it is soda from the fountain and not a can.

 

 

 

You can also buy a regular beverage card which can be used for cans of soda and any other type of beverage you might want to use it for.

 

 

 

hope this helps :)

Hello,

We are booked on our first HAL Baltic cruise in Aug-15 on Eurodam. Sadly no free drink package for us and I am not sure we'd get value out of the SBP. So we'll probably pay as we go.

So what is the difference between buying a drinks card vs charge your account?

Are the drinks cards really a 50% discount ? (Web site isn't clear on that)

And does that apply to expensive wine by the glass?

Thanks SloopJohn.

I guess we'll have to be careful with the room service.

What about room service?

Is it correct that drinks on room service aren't covered by any of the classic or premium packages?

Not even San Pellegrino?

(Although we are in AQ so I believe bottled water in the room is included)

I would appreciate if people could comment on that.

Is sparkling water covered under the Classic package? Perrier/Pellegrino? If so, are they only the small bottles or can I get a large Pellegrino for the cabin?

 

 

 

I actually quit drinking 4 years ago, but with the 123 promotion I'll be getting the classic covered and hope my fizzy water of choice is available to the sober cruisers.

We are going on Solstice next March and were wondering the same thing for my wife who doesn't drink alcohol. Emailing Celebrity Cruise we were told we couldn't exchange or downgrade from classic to premium non- alcoholic. Disappointing as the latter is much cheaper than the former. That said, you can exchange for classic non alcoholic, then UPGRADE to premium for $4/day. So that what we'll most likely do, unless we manage to convince someone at celebrity to just do the exchange
