How the Soda Package Works?

Are milkshakes included in the package on the Island Princess? Must you purchase the soda package before the cruise or can you buy it on board at check-in?

Thank you!

I know it wasn't a problem on either RCCI or NCL but never been on Princess so wasn't sure.

Yes, you get a cup. If you prepay, the cup gets delivered to your room and the sticker put on your card prior to boarding.

 

If you buy on the cruise you get the cup immediately and they put the sticker on at that time.

 

You don't need to have "that cup" to request something from the bar either. If you have it, they will refill it otherwise they will just use another glass to give you your soda fountain or mocktail drink.

Is there any price difference in the package if you wait until you board to purchase?

Sorry to say, I don't know what the current policy is. In the past we've done both, prepay or on ship if we have OBC. At that time, there was no difference. Usually we prepay.

I would ask here what people have recently experienced

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

However the all inclusive drink package (alcohol, coffee, water) is cheaper is you prepay.

Thanks for the replies.

Keep in mind that beverages from the Fountain/bar gun does not taste as good as a beverage from a can.

You got that right. I hate that fountain soda.

Same price pre- purchase or on board.

Can someone please tell me if you have to sign a bar tab each time you get a soda at the bar, if you have the soda package/sticker? Just off a cruise (RCI) that did not but have had to do so on another line (Carnival). Thanks!

We had the soda package on RCI and they barely even looked at the card, let alone paid any attention to how much soda you were guzzling.

I agree! Was so nice to grab it and go. I am an official "guzzler"!!

I was recently on the Grand, and when I asked for a fountain Diet Coke at the bar near the grill, it came in a huge plastic glass. Cost on my account was $1.78. I did buy the coffee card and the IC has some refreshing fruity drinks that I could get with a punch. And, I thought their iced or hot mochas were yummy!

Hello! New to Princess. We are looking to buy the unlimited soda package. How does it work?

When you walk into a buffet or quick service restaurant do you have to scan something to get your drinks?

Is it self serve?

Is it canned soda or fountain or both?

Do they offer a variety of soda?

Going on Golden, Alaska 2018

Thanks!

Go to any bar and get your soda there is no scanning.

They are fountain drinks, not cans. In the restaurants you tell the waiter what you want to drink and they go get it. Usually have to show your card with the sofa sticker on it. Usually coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Diet Sprite. Sometimes the bars have a variety of other drinks (in cans) such as caffeine free Diet Coke, but you have to ask and you still don't get the can. You will receive a drink cup but you don't have to use it. They will give you a glass.

Sodas that are only available in cans are not included in the Soda & More package. Diet Sprite is canned and thus outside the package. And if you have ever seen Caffeine Free Diet Coke on a Princess ship, you are quite unique (or were hallucinating).

I have been on other cruise lines and have been able to get some canned drinks with their soda package. If they had it, Like the random CF Diet Coke, you could have it. They still don't give you the can but will open in and put in a glass. I thought I had been able to do so on Princess but guess not. Too bad since they have them.

Yes, and also club soda and ginger ale. Anything that comes out of the soda gun.

Will be sailing on Sapphire next May - first time on Princess. Are the mocktails available all day and at all venues on board? Not keen on coke, pepsi etc but do like mocktails.
