caribill Posted August 26, 2011 #26 Share Posted August 26, 2011 if you buy in spanish port they add 8% spanish tax as well as 15% gratuity. Just wait until you sail away from that port. No 8% tax then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denali2003 Posted October 2, 2011 #27 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Hello. I would assume that the service charge that is included is the 15% gratiuity. Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonbeam Posted October 3, 2011 #28 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Correct, with the caveat that if we use it at a bar I usually put down a little, especially if I am having multiple drinks. Hello.

2wheelin Posted October 3, 2011 #29 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Just wait until you sail away from that port. No 8% tax then. Is there also a tax if purchased while in embarkation port? That happened to us a few years ago on another line. Tax up until leaving port so best to wait until underway? Can anyone post the regular prices of the drinks available with the soda card purchase. How much is a soda or juice regularly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Baker Posted May 18, 2015 #37 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Just a heads up for UK passengers. If you currently order through your cruise personaliser the price works out at $1.66 to the £ rather than the $1.55 on the high street. I've saved over £20 on 4 soda+ cards by pre ordering.

Thrak Posted May 18, 2015 #38 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) I bought it on a cruise last year. I ordered it over the phone in advance and purchased the Ultimate Soda and More package. I did note however, that the actual sticker I got for my card still said UKP (for Ultimate Kid's Package). I'd guess they have a bazillion of these stickers left from before the name change. That could well be why the onboard sales item is still called Ultimate Kid's Package. Edited May 18, 2015 by Thrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsham77 Posted May 18, 2015 #39 Share Posted May 18, 2015 If I get this for just my husband and I, can we get shakes, etc. for our daughter with it too? Would all mocktails be included with this or are there any that would not be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't limited to the small mocktail menu on display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrak Posted May 20, 2015 #44 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Thank you! Would I have to have this to get milk for my daughter at meals? Milk with her meal is included - unless of course you are eating pizza or something like that. In MDR it would be included and I would think in HC as well.

simok99 Posted May 31, 2015 #45 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Are you allowed to get a couple of drinks on one visit or do you have to keep going up. I have all inc but my wife has soda package Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it in plenty of time. I on-line ordered 4 days before a cruise they got lost had to buy on the first day, took 3 trips to customer services to get it fixed credits arrived on account 8 days after boarding.

I have all inc but my wife has soda package Each card is supposed to be allowed one drink at a time. There is no restriction on how much time must pass before returning for a second drink.

Tom Baker Posted June 2, 2015 #49 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Soda syphon drinks, I don't believe bottled drinks are in the package, nor is water. Take your own water or soda on board with no roblems. Edited June 2, 2015 by Tom Baker extra info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
