Bottomless Bubbles Qs

[rjackieb]

We have never purchased the soda program on any cruise but are thinking about it for our next one. I read about it on Carnival's site but still have some questions.

Are you still given a special cup/tumbler when you purchase the program?

Do you have to use that cup when you get a soda? If hubby would like to have a soda in the MDR, does he need to have that cup along to get one, or will they use a regular glass?

[rlloyd3]

Not entirely sure about the first question, but as for the second the answer is no. They put a sticker on your S&S card to know you're purchased to program, and you receive an about 8 oz. glass of soda each time.

You can purchase a cup n for something like 5.95.

Yes, they give you a souvenier cup, but you dont have to use it. We took ours to our room and packed them, day one!

 

They put a sticker on your S & S card, which you have to show when you purchase a soda in a lounge area or order in the MDR.

You do not get a cup/tumbler with the purchase but can buy one for $5 (I think) if you purchase the bottomless bubbles program. They serve sodas in glasses/cups from the bars or will fill up the tumbler you purchased.

?? I got (free) tumblers when I signed up, in the lobby as soon as I boarded the ship.

What is the cost of this program on a 7 night cruise??

What is the cost of this program on a 7 night cruise??

 

$6 x 7 ($42) plus taxes and 15% tip. ($48.30 plus taxes)

 

If you buy after 2 hours of sailing, you dont have to pay the taxes.

Thanks for all the quick replies! I'm glad to hear we won't have to carry a special cup everywhere we go the entire cruise.

 

Razorbackfan2010 -- $4.50 per child per day, or $6 per adult per day, plus tax and 15% gratuity.

We purchased ours from the bar in the atrium on the first night and did not get a free tumbler.

Hmmmm..must have changed. Thanks for info. We didnt use them anyway..a pain to carry everywhere.

I plan on purchasing this to use for mix for my bonvoyage purchases. If you purchase the Carnival mug or bring your own do they fill it or will they still just hand you a 10 oz glass of juice?

How many sodas purchases per day does it take to break even on this deal?

Just bring the S&S card with the sticker on it.

 

I would advise stopping at a bar and getting

a soda to carry in - it can take a while to

get that first drink. When the bar waiter

comes I just order another. :)

I know at the bue iguana the sodas were 1.95 plus I believe 15% gratutity..I could be wrong about the gratuity. So 3 sodas a day I would guesstimate

 

For me its very worth it as I drink about a 6 pack of diet soda a day!! :eek:

[SteelerCruiser]

on Carnival I have never gotten a Free tumbler....we did purchase on once but I always get the soda pkg and have never got a free cup on Carnival.......now on Royal Caribbean I have always had a cup come with the purchase of the soda card.

You can also buy the card the next day and pay for one less day. We never drink soda on the first day, so we just buy it the following morning.

It includes Juice too...

 

Soft drink is served by the glass (16 ounces); juice is served by the glass (10 ounces).
