ewildcat7 Posted July 1, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I know that Holland America's beverage package is made up of Coke products. But I am a Pepsi man and don't like Coke. In the past (2019), I was able to bring up to 12 cans of Pepsi on board and also pick some up and bring it on during shore excursions. I have heard that this is no longer allowed. Does anybody have any ideas on how I can get my Pepsi? I am not a coffee drinker, so this is my vice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Crew News Posted July 1, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 1, 2022 As a Diet Mt Dew (Pepsi product) lover, I can only drink one while in port. Beating the luggage scanners both on Embarkation Day and in every port is impossible. I learned to adjust for a few weeks each year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curmudgeon98 Posted July 1, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Yah, I think you are pretty much out of luck on the soda options. I grumble as well, but I've gotten somewhat used to it for travel. I'm another diet Mt Dew drinker, and even off ship, most of Europe is a diet Mt Dew desert. Once in a while you come across regular Mt Dew there, but the only diet I've seen there was in the PX on US military bases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dog Posted July 5, 2022 #10 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Is the premium upgrade package worth $50/day? What non alcoholic drinks are included? does this include bottled water? a link would be helpful. I have just started my search, as I realized things have changed since my last cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PigsCanFly Posted July 6, 2022 #15 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I am also a Pepsi vs Coke fellow. I put up with Diet Coke by adding Bacardi to it. After a few drinks, the Coke become more bearable😉. My land source of Caffeine is Pepsi Zero so I switch to Coke Zero (or Diet Coke) on a ship or unsweetened Ice Tea to stay alert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunther1 Posted July 8, 2022 #21 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Curious why all guests in a stateroom have to buy the package. My husband hates all soda and I, on the other hand, love my carbonated beverages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a positive note, you will be able to drink twice the carbonated beverages to justify the extra cost😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukesquad Posted July 14, 2022 #25 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Random question regarding the Unlimited Coca Cola Package. Can you pour water from the Freestyle machine? If so, I may need to add that to my Elite Package, so sodas/waters don't eat up my 15 drink limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
