Pre-Purchasing Bottomless Bubbles

[carnival03]

So I found out you can pre-purchase bottomless bubbles before the departure of your cruise, through the fun-shops. I know you have to call them, but how does this work? When the check-in clerk hands you the S&S card is the sticker already on the card? Anyone have experience with this? Also how close to departure can you pre-purchase it? We leave Sunday.

Yes the sticker will be on the card, actually it won't be a sticker it will be laminated on your card.

Before you buy look into if they are charging you sales tax. I think on board in international waters they don't charge sales tax.

Im looking at the funshops and cannot find where you would purchase it online? help please?

[JillySue]

I'm not seeing it either, is this new?

[jdyer09]

It either has to be new or not something that actually exists. Perhaps people are talking about buying cruise or bar cash and applying that to the balance for their soda card on board perhaps, as a way of prepurchasing? I dont really know.

I thought they charge you sales tax at the time of "purchase" of the drink, not the time of the purchase if the program.

Last April, my brother in law bought Bottomless Bubbles for my kids before our Breeze cruise. We gave him our booking number and he called and had it added.

It was not indicated on the kids S&S cards when we boarded, but when we got to our cabin, there were letters instructing us to go to a specific bar to get the stickers for their cards. Hope this helps!

OP said you have to call

Upon purchasing the Bottomless Bubbles unlimited soda program, a sticker will be placed on the guest’s Sail & Sign card. Bottomless Bubbles can be purchased at the ship’s Casino Bar and Pool Bar; in addition, the soda program can be purchased prior to the cruise by contacting the ‘The Fun Shops’ department (phone orders only-not offered online).

Yes it can be purchased ahead of time. We have done it several times by calling the fun shops. We took our cards to a bar and stickers were added.
