h-sar Posted July 28, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Is anyone able to confirm a fairly recent price for a weeklong ultimate soda/mocktail package on Princess? I’m looking for the onboard price, not the online price. Thank you! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weedpindle Posted July 28, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Same as advance purchase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bemis12 Posted July 28, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 28, 2019 There are no discounts for buying on board- so it's the online price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h-sar Posted July 28, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) Thank you! Then it must have gone up in the last 5 months - just what I was afraid of. The online price for my next cruise is quite a bit more than what we paid onboard last Christmas. Edited July 28, 2019 by h-sar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, that must be fairly new, in addition to the mocktails which they’ve always had. I really just want them to go back to a soda only option (prefer the fountain pop over cans - weird, I know). They keep upping the price and adding things I don’t want, but not also providing the soda only option. ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted July 28, 2019 #7 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Princess changed the pricing and terms for the soda package earlier this year. They also added the $23.59/day package. Here are the new prices and descriptions. Same price on board. If purchased on board has to be purchased on boarding day. If you have excess OBC the cost will net against it when purchased on board. Premier Coffee & Soda Package$23.59 per person, per day Enjoy premium and specialty coffees and teas along with fountain sodas, fruit juices, hot chocolate and “zero-proof” mocktails throughout your entire cruise with this new beverage package. Package must be purchased for full length of voyage, cannot be shared, is non-transferable, and is non-refundable within 3 days of sailing. Classic Soda Package$11.79 per person, per day Includes all fountain sodas, fruit juices, mocktails and smoothies. Package must be purchased for full length of voyage, cannot be shared, is non-transferable, and is non-refundable within 3 days of sailing.

The online price for my next cruise is quite a bit more than what we paid onboard last Christmas. The price has indeed gone UP. The "Soda and More" package was, by far, the best deal on Princess cruises. At $8.05 per day - including gratuity - it was a fantastic deal. The deal has changed and, as far as I'm concerned, has gone from what I have often referred to as "the best deal on Princess" to a total crock of shite.

h-sar Posted July 30, 2019 Author #11 Share Posted July 30, 2019 As I really only want the soda, on our two week Christmas cruise I’ll be bringing a couple of 24 packs onboard with me at Port Everglades and then can replenish when we return there on turn around day, if I need to. We’ll get my son the bev package as he’s more about the mocktails (and will probably also enjoy the addition of the smoothies). I was willing to pay the last price increase for the convenience of being able to grab a glass of Coke as I came and went, but just can’t justify $15 CDN per day for soda 😬. Now, let’s just hope Princess continues allowing the bringing on of soft drinks! Anyone know now what kind of smoothies are being offered? My son will be interested in knowing.

They're beginning to price it out of range & only encouraging people to share the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majortom10 Posted July 31, 2019 #16 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Smoothies are traditionally made of fruit and vegetables but you can get cheaper versions made of fruit juices instead of fruit therefore there would be just as much sugar in them.

I should imagine seeing that they are now part of the new non alcoholic drinks package they will be widely available from all bars throughout the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
