Soda Machines in the Buffet on Vista

[fsa1155]

Hello,  I heard that the Carnival Vista was going to be putting soda machines in the buffet area.  Does anyone know if that is true or if it has happened yet.  Last time we were on the Vista, we had to go outside to a bar and get a soda which is okay but having a machine right there with the other drinks would be a lot handier.   Thanks, 🙂

They are on the Mardi Gras and Celebration.  Meh.. would be my response.

I only used the soda machine on Celebration once, and the syrup/soda water ratio was “off” and the soda had lost some of its fizz.  I never used it again.  I’d rather have cans.

I used the soda dispensers on Mardi Gras and thought they were okay-y-y-y....   But you had to be careful since there was a time-limit.  Get your ice before scanning your card (tick-tock-tick-tock), and then scan your card once, quickly.  If the system thinks you scanned it twice it will interpret it as a second, too-soon visit and have to wait before trying again.  

 

I generally prefer Carnival to Royal, but soda packages are an area where Royal beats Carnival handily, especially with the Freestyle Coke machines.

Thank you for the replies.  Those are very helpful.

You'd be better off going to a bar to get soda since the machines never seem to work.
