That's the price for a 7 day cruise. The soda package is listed under the bonvoyage gift section at ncl.com here...

WOW! NCL makes a killing off their Cokes. Yikes $40.25 I saw where someone posted that their husband actually came out ahead on the soda card..(jmo I highly doubt that) ..Even if you avg 1 soda per hour the entire trip NCL would still make a killing. - If you could drink an avg of three 16oz cokes per hour for 7 days....NCL would still be at the break even point...and you would really only be helping them even more because the more gallons they sell the more rebate dollars they make. BTW that would be a total of 576 oz a day or 4.5 gallons a day....LOL at the end of the trip 4032 oz and 31.5 gallons of soda....as you can see what a killing they make.

What is the regular price of an individual soda?

I am really confused with your math!

 

According to what I have read on the forum, soda is $1.25 per glass, $1.75 per 12 oz can. You would only have to drink about 32 sodas during the entire week to recoup your $40.25 investment into the soda card. That works out to 4 or 5 sodas a day. For me, not worth it. For my teenaged son, TOTALLY worth it!

My question is this: do they give you soda with your dinners free of charge or do you pay extra for them with meals also? If I have to pay for a soda with every meal, then I would consume at least 4 a day.

You pay for sodas at breakfast, lunch, and dinner too, just like you do at McDonalds. Coffee, water, tea, and cappuccino are free at the restaurants.

[IfItAintBoeing]

Also, milk and IIRC juices(?) are free at meals.

And iced tea;)

[lbt43]

Does the soda card include juices?

[electricron]

No, but juices are free at restaurants and the buffet/cafeteria for breakfast.

[deborahjo]

IMHO to be able to get a soda anytime I want on a cruise and not have to hand over my s and s card is great. I prepay for as much as I can. Then my final bill is not so bad.

My math is based knowing what Cruise lines pay for product because I work for Coca-Cola in South Fl.....What I said was someone said that their DH drank so much that NCL was in the hole with them...as you can see with my math that would be close to impossible.

You are allowed to bring aboard all the water and soda you want, so you could really save $.......but it's really the convienience factor that you are paying for.

It's funny that you would say that. I can EASILY drink 2 to 3 44 oz diet pops a day. And if I'm going to any fast food place to buy them, then it would be at least $4.50 a day. And that's rural oregon prices - not cruise ship.

 

I'd hate to see what my bill looked like if I didn't prepay all those sodas......

[Captain Canuck]

to clear up the confusion...the card is a deal if your drink a lot of soda...but only based on what they charge per individual soda. the profit margin is insane as the guy with the math demonstrated. the cost per gallon of soda is a small fraction of what they charge us suckers.

OH!! I see what you are saying now. Wow, that is pretty eye-opening!

Sorry for my previous misunderstanding.

remember you are putting ice in those drinks. On avg if you drink a 44oz soda there is only about 20-22 oz of soda in them.

 

If you take a 32oz cup and fill it up with ice (most do this) them pour a 20oz bottle coke in it...you will have about 4-5 oz left in the 20oz coke...that is why I always say half soda half ice.

[smokie36]

...or you can just request "no ice" and get more soda (or just order a little ice and get two sodas - doesn't really matter when you prepay for the week). I'm a big diet soda drinker and the $40 is worth it. If I were to pack soda for the trip, I would need another suitcase (or two).

I'm happy enough with the free espresso - this makes up for the soda cost. (Maybe a little too much caffeine in my system, or what)

Hey! It's vacation time, why sweat the small stuff?

[ajrich]

Our ship had a fridge in the room so the first day of the cruise we went and bought some cases of pop and maybe spent $15 and had enough pop for the both of us to drink the whole cruise.

Actually I call all dark sodas Coke....Everything in the south is usually called coke, even if its pepsi. Kinda Strange I guess.
