Soda Cards/ gratuity charges

[LittleBlue]

Is there a addtional 15% gratuity charge everytime you get a soda with your Soda card, or does the soda card cover all soda costs....

or is there also a gratuity charge if you get sodas out of mini fridge...:(

 

 

I tried researching this, and searched old posts, but couldn't find the answer, so forgive me please if it has been asked before.

Just trying to uncover all hidden charges ahead of time...:eek: as I am finding out, there are a few. Don't want to be suprised later.

No 15% with soda card. Go to anyplace that has soda, show your card and they give you soda. Mini fridge I do not know about. We stay in Garden Villas, and they give us all the mixers we want. Hope this helps

When we were on the Jewel in October, we did have the soda card, which included the 15% gratuity for the entire time we used the card. We did have to pay for the sodas we got out of our fridge, and they did add 15% onto the cost of the canned soda. Overall we were very pleased with the soda card program and plan to get another one on our upcoming Jade cruise.

Wow thanks for the quick answers, You helped alot.

I found all sorts of information on where to get sodas, how to use soda cards, but really wanted to figure out if the soda cards would be worth it for us, and didn't want any surprise costs.

Thanks, I love these boards, I am able to get all my questions answered, from the simple ones to the complex...

one new trick we learned when cruising...as newbies of course..lol

 

Ask your room steward to remove EVERYTHING from your in room fridge when you first get into your suite. Then there is no temptation take(or spend the $$) from the fridge if it's empty.

 

It worked for us...as we had a soda card anyway

Just wondering if they still give out the coke cup with the soda card at no charge.

 

Thanks
