taykee Posted December 30, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I will be travelling on the Jade in march, I would like to know if I want to purchase a soda drink from the bar can I get a can or is it just by the glass. I know this may seem a strange question. It's just that I prefer the drink out of a can or bottle not the bar dispensers. Also if I wish to take the drink back to my cabin to sit on my balcony I would prefer a can as easier to walk with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll usually offer you a glass with ice to go with it, but you can just ask for a can. Or you can ask your room steward to put a few in your fridge for you.

Ontario cruise duo Posted December 30, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Not sure if you are aware of this, but you are allowed to bring your own soda on board, in cans or bottles, if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-1 Posted December 31, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 31, 2014 when you buy sodas onboard the ship they give you can with a glass of ice. U can get can without ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alandg94 Posted January 3, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Are there any limits to the size and amount of soda you bring? Also will NOLA let you check it in SO you don't have to carry it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-1 Posted January 3, 2015 #6 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Everything I have read on these boards suggests you can bring a case of soda. I plan on bringing a case of Coke on my cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvsullivan Posted January 3, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Are there any limits to the size and amount ofsoda you bring? Also will NOLA let you check it in SO you don't have to carry it? Thanks NOLA is one of the three NCL ports that don't allow you to check soda or water. It is an issue with the longshoreman, not NCL. You can carry as much as you like with your carry on. Not all bars or bartenders will give you a can of soda. At some/most bars it is fountain only. Some drinks, ginger ale for one, sometimes only come in two litre bottles. Find a bar that has cans and will give them to you and then frequent that bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-1 Posted January 3, 2015 #8 Share Posted January 3, 2015 rvsullivan, thanks for the feedback; good to know. I have not cruised with NCL yet; so only know what I have been reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would either just bring the soda on with you (less expensive) or ask your steward to stock your fridge with the soda of your choice. I was surprised to find Pepsi in my fridge the last couple of days (I didn't know that NCL had Pepsi products) and asked my steward for more Pepsi and no gratuities. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read that in NOLA there is a place where you can store your soda after you board the ship and until your room is ready. Hope this helps! As far as I know there is no limit, and you can definitely restock when you port as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonyte Posted January 3, 2015 #13 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) I've read that in NOLA there is a place where you can store your soda after you board the ship and until your room is ready. Hope this helps! As far as I know there is no limit, and you can definitely restock when you port as well. Not in NOLA, on the ship - this applies to all other ports too (may vary depending on the ship, luggage check on embarkation day has been available at least on all Jewel class ships we've sailed on). Also no limit on water/sodas brought onboard. Edited January 3, 2015 by Demonyte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilovesailing Posted January 3, 2015 #14 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I believe all the kids arcades have a pop machine and you just use your key card. i thinks it's also cheaper than the bar but it's been a while since I've gone looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callmehalia Posted January 4, 2015 #16 Share Posted January 4, 2015 This kind of applies and kind of doesn't... We had the soda package and couldn't ever get cans, and actually found the mix of the Pepsi from the fountain to always be a bit, well, crap. I asked for a can at the bar in the atrium and they said they didn't have them (they did give me a can of orange. Also the root beer, and the 7Up was in cans though). The bar area in the buffet only has cans though, even for Pepsi. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
