frayedend Posted March 5, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 5, 2014 So a certain well known CD posted on a certain social media site that they are switching to fountain soda and some ships already have it. This was in response to a question about flat soda. Does anyone have any info on this, especially if Valor happens to have fountain soda? (last time I posted about the CD and social media site my post was deleted, so I'm guessing for some reason one or the other is verbotten, although I didn't see it in the guidelines) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Atrium Bar, etc.) I do not know about the Valor though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlybice Posted March 5, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I hope not. Fountain soda always has that "local" flavor to it. Much prefer cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morganboys Posted March 5, 2014 #10 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I hope the freedom has it by june. its nice to buy the bottomless bubbles and have them refill my cup every time I walk by a bar of beverage station. wouldn't have to worry about getting flat pop out of a can that has been sitting there for a while.

mousey Posted March 5, 2014 #11 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I agree! Do we know if it will be a Coke product:) or some generic type of cola?:( Anybody?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnival03 Posted March 5, 2014 #12 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Sorta off topic but with the bottomless bubbles program do they now give you a reusable cup or glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaded Lady Posted March 6, 2014 #13 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Sorta off topic but with the bottomless bubbles program do they now give you a reusable cup or glass? They will give you a clear plain drinking glass for each use. If you want they have an insulated Carnival cup you can purchase... I think I paid $6 for ours, but I'm not sure, it's been a couple years. But now we each have one and just bring it with us on the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vwrestler171 Posted March 6, 2014 #15 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I hope they have it on the Breeze, would be nice to have them add some vanilla or cherries to coke Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerCruiser Posted March 6, 2014 #16 Share Posted March 6, 2014 both Fantasy class ships we have sailed had soda fountains at certain bars for the main flavors such as coke diet coke and sprite. Then they had cans for everything else. I personally wish they would add the Freestyle machines like Royal Caribbean has on several of its ships. Makes it easier to do and then they give you the cup with the chip in it so you can get the self serve at the freestyle machine. Plus if you don't want to carry the cup then you still have the option of going to a bar and getting a soda as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cccer Posted March 6, 2014 #19 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I just hope the mix is OK. They serve Coke products on RCL and the taste is awful. Doesn't even taste like the real thing. I prefer out of a can unless they can get it right. Yes, I'm a Coke snob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUTailG8 Posted March 6, 2014 #21 Share Posted March 6, 2014 How do they stop people from getting soda from the fountains when they havent paid for it? The cup you purchase has a chip in it. No chip, no caramel colored carbonated sugar water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pellaz Posted March 6, 2014 #23 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I didn't notice any fountain soda service on Victory...but I might not have noticed the guns behind the bar. On Liberty in Oct. 2012, the aft pool bar had a fountain soda gun behind the counter and I was startled by it, since I thought CCL was ALLL canned, usually warm soda. On Imagination in early 2012 it was all cans. both Fantasy class ships we have sailed had soda fountains at certain bars for the main flavors such as coke diet coke and sprite. Then they had cans for everything else. I personally wish they would add the Freestyle machines like Royal Caribbean has on several of its ships. Makes it easier to do and then they give you the cup with the chip in it so you can get the self serve at the freestyle machine. Plus if you don't want to carry the cup then you still have the option of going to a bar and getting a soda as well. ^^^^ This, THIS, a thousand times this! I really loved the free insulated soda cup they give you on RCCL as part of their drinks package, and the fact that I could get a refill any time I wanted from the (then-conventional) soda machine on the pool deck. Then I heard they were installing Freestyle Coke machines which just makes it that much better. Raspberry Diet Coke! Yummm! The cup you purchase has a chip in it. No chip, no caramel colored carbonated sugar water. To clarify, the above is on RCCL, not Carnival. (And the insulated spillproof cup is included in the cost of their soda program; they don't charge separately.) The fountain service on Carnival, when it is available, is handled by fountain soda guns behind the counter like the one shown in the photo earlier in the thread.

I think I paid $6 for ours, but I'm not sure, it's been a couple years. But now we each have one and just bring it with us on the cruise. We've always brought our own tumblers on (girls cruise we had matching one's, family cruises we just brought some from home) and the bar staff has never even blinked an eye at filling them up. The good thing about this is if it is canned, they will put the whole can in, cause they are bigger cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they pour into my red Solo cup that has ice and rum in it already (from Bon Voyage of course). :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
