Lulubelle45 Posted April 16, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'm looking to buy the non Alcohol drink package that hopefully includes smoothies or virgin cocktails. Is there a list of what is included anywhere? First time on Princess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lulubelle45 Posted April 16, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Oh thanks. Does this require me to take the souvenir tumbler everywhere to have it filled or to I get some type of sticker on my card??

Justprettynpink Posted April 16, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Oh thanks.

I leave the tumbler in my cabin and use it for ice water if I want to drink something during the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted April 16, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I got my wife a coffee card and got the Unlimited Soda & More package for myself. I thought it was kind of amusing that the sticker I got said UKP (the old Ultimate Kid's Package sticker). My wife immediately snagged my big plastic cup and used it for iced tea during the cruise. She still uses the thing sometimes at home. I've never used it for anything. I loved the package and enjoyed many virgin Mojito, Bloody Mary, Pina Colada, and other drinks. I never did have a soda or a milkshake though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsham77 Posted April 16, 2015 #8 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Someone mentioned there used to be a kids package, is there still or do you pay the same price for a kids beverage package? I am so glad I found this thread! Marsha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the "Ultimate Kids Package" but many adults wanted it too so they changed the name to "Ultimate Soda Package" and now it's called the "Unlimited Soda & More" package. :) All the same package.

Lulubelle45 Posted April 16, 2015 Author #11 Share Posted April 16, 2015 So now I got that figured out and you mention a coffee card?? Oy! What is that and if I want coffee that's another charge? ? Confused. On another cruise line specialty coffees and these drinks were the same package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candigirl41 Posted April 16, 2015 #12 Share Posted April 16, 2015 The coffee card is a separate package. You get 15 punches for specialty coffees. My friend had one left from his last cruise and let me use it since he got the ultimate beverage package. If you buy a coffee card you can use it on future cruises but it is only good for fresh brewed coffee the first cruise which I believe is unlimited. I like the cold vanilla lattes so I had a couple of those. I also had the soda and more and thought it was good value as I drink a lot of diet coke club soda and virgin blended drinks. The choco banana is the best. They make it with non dairy milk which really upsets my stomach so I love those and the virgin Pina coladas are to die for.

Lulubelle45 Posted April 17, 2015 Author #13 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Ok regarding this coffee card. Is it then sharable?? Our cruise is only 4 days! There are 3 of us in the cabin so 5 each would be perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annalouise Posted April 17, 2015 #14 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I bought a soft drink card on Dawn Princess last week. It covered mocktails no problem. The 'gotcha' was that it only covers soft drinks that they have in their post-mix guns. So I wasn't able to get Sprite Zero on my card as they only have it in cans, and cans were not included in the card. The only sugar-free soft drink on the card was Diet Coke. Also the card did not cover bottled water which I prefer to drink on board rather than the water that comes out of the tap/faucet in the cabin.

fishywood Posted April 17, 2015 #19 Share Posted April 17, 2015 No bottled water? I can understand Perier or San Pellegreno but plain old H2O?? Actually to me it would make more sense for the More sticker to include San Pellegrino in the dining rooms rather than the ordinary bottles people buy to take ashore (there is also the hoarding/sharing issue with them). But the bottom line still favors Princess: Princess Soda and More: $7/day + 15% gratuity RCI Royal Replenish: $20/day + 18% gratuity By my calculations after factoring in the value of Princess' coffee card ($29 for 15 specialty coffees) assuming an average of 2.5 coffees pp/pd you are still paying RCI almost $9/day to add bottled water to the package. Me, I'll stick with the tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easy_123 Posted April 17, 2015 #20 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Can you not bring bottled water of any type (Costco's or San Pellegreno) onboard by the case? The only problem is it not being very cold even if it is in the refrigerator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lulubelle45 Posted April 17, 2015 Author #22 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Ok. So we can each buy the More package for our drinks, a coffee card to share and just bring a few water bottles from home to take ashore. I just chuckle thst you need to buy the alcohol package to get a plain bottle of water. I'm fine with the tap water. My mom likes to have a water bottle with her all the time. But yes the package is fairly priced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted April 17, 2015 #24 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Ask for an ice bucket to put your water bottles in and they'll be icy cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grammyluvs Posted April 17, 2015 #25 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I loved the soda and more package while at sea but find if our itinerary is port heavy, it doesn’t really pay for me. Also, lost my Tumbler the first time I used it :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
