MandMNeal Posted March 29, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Does anyone recently off the Sky know what a single coke costs? If I just want a Diet Coke once or twice a day can I just order one, or do you have to have the card to order soda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electricron Posted March 29, 2009 #3 Share Posted March 29, 2009 No, it's not worth it for only one or two glasses of soda pop per day. You can order soda pop just like ordering other bar drinks, using your pass card on each order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandMNeal Posted March 29, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Great thanks so much for the quick responses, you guys are awesome!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leigh-Anne V Posted March 29, 2009 #5 Share Posted March 29, 2009 We were just on the Dawn last week and I'm sure the prices are the same .... $1.25 for fountain, $1.75 for a can. I bought the pop package but didn't really get it out of it .. I don't think I'll do that again. Enjoy your cruise! Leigh-Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmasNana Posted March 29, 2009 #6 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Cheaper yet, bring them on the ship with you.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwguy62 Posted March 29, 2009 #7 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Last summer on the Jewel, I bought the soda package since I drink a lot of Diet Coke. My comments are that the fountain soda on the ship leaves a lot to be desired with respect to taste. It wasn't very good. Also, the souvenir thermal "mug" they give you is small and by the time they put ice in it you get very little soda. So if you drink a lot of soda, you'll need to get many refills to get the equivalent of a can's worth. Technically, I may have gotten my money's worth compared to $2.00 per can, but in the future I think I'll just pay for the cans. I only got so many refills because you get so little at a time. It's not worth it in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchdiva Posted March 29, 2009 #8 Share Posted March 29, 2009 That's exactly what I was going to suggest - bring them with you:). DH and I only drink Pepsi and always bring along two 12-pacs of cans. Trust me, it's not about trying to save money (although that's a great side-benefit) but more about NCL is COKE only and we don't drink Coke.

pomlover Posted March 29, 2009 #9 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I like to have bottled water when I wake up and go to bed. Was thinking of bringing some with me. Also some sodas. But what is the best way to carry it on? Just as it comes or put it in something or what? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjaker11 Posted March 29, 2009 #10 Share Posted March 29, 2009 We always bring a case of water and a case of diet coke. we enlarge a luggage tag and place it on top of each case, wrap it with plastic and make a handle with packing tape. Have never had a problem with this arriving in our cabin. DH always buys the soda card also so when he is out and about doesn't have to carry a mug or can.

uppitycats Posted March 29, 2009 #11 Share Posted March 29, 2009 The ship's water is excellent, very carefully and thoroughly filtered. I just bought one bottle of water, and kept filling the same bottle from taps. As for soda -- unless you are way particular and MUST have only a certain flavor, you'd have to drink A LOT of soda each day to make it worthwhile to buy the card. (Or do what I think is "cheap" and buy the card for your whole family to use. It's supposed to be for one person...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momsrule27 Posted March 29, 2009 #12 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Is it an actual card that you can hand off to each other? Also, does anyone know if you can purchase a smoothie card without purchasing the Teen Passport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamboatin Posted March 29, 2009 #13 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Try a little simple math and it will give you your answer.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, does anyone know if you can purchase a smoothie card without purchasing the Teen Passport? On the Jewel it was a sticker that was put on your key card. So presumably you can hand your key card to someone else to get the soda. The key card doesn't have a picture on it, but does have the name of the "owner", and your cabin number.

Rare ohioNCLcruiser Posted March 29, 2009 #15 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Yesterday the Pride of america changed from Coke to Pepsi brands. Not sure if this is just us or going fleet wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uppitycats Posted March 29, 2009 #16 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Pepsi?? Yet another reason for me to not buy a soda card! I drink very little soda -- average less than 4 cans a week...but it's gotta be Coke! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, it's not about trying to save money (although that's a great side-benefit) but more about NCL is COKE only and we don't drink Coke. Just got confirmation from James (ohioNCLcruiser) who works on PoA that NCL is switching to Pepsi fleetwide. PoA is already carrying it. For us Coke product lovers, it just means we'll have to bring our own. :D DT Ooops, never mind. I just saw James post up above. Sorry, James. :o DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
