cb at sea Posted July 21, 2008 #2 Share Posted July 21, 2008 What cruiseline?? But, most sell "soda-cards" entitling you to unlimited sodas. Cans run about $1.50-$2.00 if you only want the occassional soda. You can bring sodas onboard most lines, tho. Tea, lemonade and sometimes fruit punch are included in most cruiseline fares--and ice water! The soda cards only save you $$ if you drink about 4-5 sodas a day (which is an awful lot of soda!!!) The cards are per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena1026 Posted July 21, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted July 21, 2008 MSC, So, If I got a card, it's unlimited soda? Last time I went, I believe they sold them for just a set# of soda's. Was wondering if my 2 could share 1 but I . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise kitty Posted July 21, 2008 #4 Share Posted July 21, 2008 most lines still let you bring non alcoholic drinks aboard without smuggling. With 5 kids it would be well worth your while to get a rolling cart and bring a couple of cases of drinks and some waters. If your kids like iced tea that's usually free. soda cards for all 5 kids for a week will run you about $245, Like others mentioned some lines even have free lemonade or puch if you ask. Have fun!!!

pauline664 Posted July 22, 2008 #5 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Been a while since last cruise... How much do sodas and non-alch. drinks run. Used to be you could bring a certain amount of soda with you. Can you still? Traveling with 5 kids in the group. What beverages are there for kids that are included? How big of a savings is the drink cards, etc.? First of all if we knew what cruise and cruise line you were taking it would help. But as others have said there is a convience to the cards . They are for unlimited on RCCL and CCl at least. But as far as sharing most feel it is not fair to do this..just breaking a rule. There is pleanty to drink without buying soda. All non carbonated. Can you just allow maybe 1 soda a day to see if that works . That way you only spend ..what $10.00 a day for the 5 kid's. make it a treat. But if you really want to have the unlimited then it does cost a lot. Maybe bring a couple of cases on board 1 case of water's and 1 case of soda. Then if you need more then limit it to the 1 a day or buy more in a port to replenish your stock. Just some hint's that may help..by no means i am experienced..i am a grandmom and mom but not experienced cruiser.. i have been only on 1 other cruise. Just trying to help you if i can.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
