shipfriend_max Posted May 3, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Hi, eben if there’s some other threads regarding this, one question: I’ve just booked a cruise in Enchanted Princess, October 2023. I wanted to add the Classic soda package into my booking but I didn’t see it yet. the website however, still features it. Same with the other, new non-alcoholic beverage package. Anyone knows more? Hopefully the classic soda package is not gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina del Mar Posted May 3, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Wasn’t ‘gone’ during our March/April 2023 cruise. Wanted to use OBC so booked it onboard..must be done on first two days to have same price as pre cruise. I did a live chat with Princess pre cruise to check..and kept a screen shot of their reply. Bar tender kept trying to have us order non alcoholic beverage package, but we insisted we wanted a Classic Soda Package and that is what we eventually bought.

And I drink a LOT of Diet Cokes! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree..we weren’t sure we’d done the right thing buying it…we did have a few mock tails in the evenings but not sure we’d buy it again..probably didn’t break even ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senga Posted May 3, 2023 #7 Share Posted May 3, 2023 We bought it for our May Sky cruise but will not purchase it for our September Mediterranean cruise. Way too expensive! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsp Posted May 3, 2023 #8 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Waste of money, most of the times the bars don't charge for sodas (gun type) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzsnooze Posted May 3, 2023 #10 Share Posted May 3, 2023 A six pack of cans is $11.00 on board and you know what you're getting. I gave up on the fountain diet cokes because I sometimes tasted the coke and it wasn't diet. The sugar could send a diabetic into a coma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is appears from post #5 which shows the Terms and Conditions of the Soda package, it now ‘includes’ cans, I know previously ‘canned’ sodas were ‘not’ part of the Classic Soda package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I drink a LOT of Diet Cokes! 2 Sodas and 2 Mocktails = $22.42 easy to do! Especially if you like mocktails (Sunshine Daiquiri being a favorite if you can find a bartender that makes it right!)

mookie23 Posted May 5, 2023 #13 Share Posted May 5, 2023 If you don't have a drink package, how much would a mocktail or a soda cost on an Australian cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oregonn8v Posted May 6, 2023 #14 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Just booked a Mexican Riviera cruise for next January and I was looking at both the Non-Alcoholic drink package and the Classic Soda package. I can't see spending $35.39 on the NA package but I think I will try the Classic Soda for $17.69. I don't drink soda but if I can get club soda or seltzer, and I would go for a mocktail or two. Even I only got 2-3 smoothies/mocktails a day that is only $6-$9 each. I figure that's the price of vacation. If I do want to order a cappuccino in the dining room is that an extra charge? Also, I assume I can get water, tea, coffee, iced tea, etc at no charge even without a drink package. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They provide “tap” water free but there is a charge for bottled water. I’ve never ordered the other item but if they are free in the buffet, I’d guess they would be free in the MDR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
