Just in case you are not aware, Princess places no limit on the amount of canned soda you wish to take on board. So if you stop off at a supermarket before you board, you can load up on cans and take them with you. You can tape luggage tags to them and hand them off to the porters when you get to the dock and they will get to your cabin with the rest of your luggage. If you are cruising the Caribbean after Sky makes it way over, that would be really easy to do. Even if you are cruising the Med before the transatlantic, it would be relatively easy to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaBurd Posted October 5, 2019 #7 Share Posted October 5, 2019 We are boarding the Sky Princess in Civitavecchia on Nov. 10. Is there a place to buy canned soda within walking distance of the port? Anyone know the price and if it tastes the same as that purchased in the US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpack Posted October 5, 2019 #8 Share Posted October 5, 2019 My last cruise I saw a guy with two of the long canned 12 packs setting nicely on top of his carry on. He had something like a bungee to hold them in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few small supermarkets near the ports entrance, it all depends on how you intend to arrive. Coke in Europe tastes exactly the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would need to get a cab/transportation to the entrance or town area. The port is not conducive to walking and it a good distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you can carry them on in any port, if that is convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaBurd Posted October 5, 2019 #12 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Thanks for the info on canned coke. Glad to know it will taste the same. Now, does anyone know the price? Need to compare it to the ~$2 per can on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coke/Pepsi (12 oz small bottle) 2.03 € https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?country=Italy Edited October 6, 2019 by Thrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott4020 Posted October 6, 2019 #15 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Last week I paid 4 euros for 1.5 liter of Diet Coke in Brussels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjblk Posted October 6, 2019 #16 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I have never tried regular coke in Italy but I found that the diet coke(or Coke light) didn't taste the same as in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previous package included canned soda. The current package does not. That meant the previous package could be used for soda at Princess Cays where they only have soda in cans. The current package cannot be used there for soda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseclan Posted October 6, 2019 #18 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Can you bring bottled soda on board as well? Thinking the 6 or 8 pack instead of cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazycruzer Posted October 6, 2019 #19 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I paid over 2 Euros in Ireland for small bottle, 12 oz, of Coke. Closer to 2.50 USD. per bottle. Last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic bottles are best & you can reseal the bottle to save some for another time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screamingreen Posted October 6, 2019 #21 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Sodas we found in London and Barcelona grocery stores were only sold individually: no 6, 8 or 12 packs. All the cruise port stores had empty coolers where the sodas should have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANDRAMARTINEZ Posted October 8, 2019 #22 Share Posted October 8, 2019 My personal experience with the premium beverage package is that 50% of the time when ordering a soda I would be given the whole can whether it be a Coke or Sprite and 90% of the time if I ordered a root beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
