SweetCinNY Posted December 15, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I haven't cruised on a Carnival ship since our honeymoon in 2006 (European-2 week)--divorced now 😅, just booked Venezia for this summer & will be traveling with my 14 & 16 year olds. Wanted to know if they offer an unlimited soda plan & if so if it would include Shirley Temples. (price?) Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetCinNY Posted December 15, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Thanks so much; I'm guessing 12+ is an adult? No Shirley Temples 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival's website doesn't specify an age breakout for this, I believe that "child" is anyone below the legal age to purchase alcohol. One problem with the Bottomless Bubbles package is that kids have to get their soda at a bar and most of the time they're ignored by bartenders in favor of adults purchasing drinks who will most likely leave extra tips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get them with my bottomless bubbles all the time 🙃 I just ask for Sprite (which I know isn't Sprite actually, but can't remember which one they use lol) with a shot of cherry in it. Another good one is sprite and Cranberry Sprite and Pineapple juice And the best - Sprite, Pineapple juice, with a shot of cherry in it. 50+ old that doesn't drink alcohol very much lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It absolutely does include them in bubbles. My kids have gotten the package on at least 5 cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask for a shirley temple. Not one bartender has ever said no or charged for it. Pepsi with a shot of grenadine and cherries works too. My daughter likes that.

Not really trying to pull any trick... just feel foolish (50+ year old) asking for a "Shirley Temple" lol! That and I mostly get the Cranberry and Sierra Mist or the Pineapple/Sierra Mist with shot of Cherry and no other way to order those then to spell it out.😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The soda package is assigned to your sail and sign card. On the celebration, my daughter would just scan her card at the soda fountain. They have small plastic cups they can use.

I don't think my kids or my father ever found that to be much of a problem, especially my kids. They even had bartenders that got to know them and would already be getting them a soda when they saw them coming towards the bar. My son when younger liked to find places he could hide out, bartenders and servers always knew where he was if we happened to come around looking for him.

I only had the Bottomless Bubbles on 1 cruise and it was such a pain getting a soda, it was the last cruise I ever got it. After once or twice to the bar, the bartenders start ignoring you when they see you coming. Saw kids ignored at the bar by the pool all cruise long. Now the few ships that have the self serve machines it might be a worthwhile deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erstreet2017 Posted January 8, 2023 #23 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Now that I'm nearing 30, I definitely have no trouble getting served with sodas at the bar, but even when I was cruising while younger I never had too much of an issue. Much like a bar back home, you do have to still be trying to get the bartender's attention versus just sitting there waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She also tipped them a little bit every couple times she got a soda. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogcotten Posted January 10, 2023 #25 Share Posted January 10, 2023 We just got off the Glory on Sunday and my kiddoes were absolutely able to get Shirley temples. I also taught them how to order certain drinks, and to tip their bartenders. We didn't have any issues getting them served. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
