shofer Posted September 29, 2011 #1 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I have never done this before and since it includes mocktails and hot chocolate, it sounds like a good deal. How do I purchase this? Can you do it before you board and how? Or is it onboard only? thanks. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Kmkub Posted September 29, 2011 #2 Share Posted September 29, 2011 There will be employees all over the ship when you board, looking to sell you a sticker. You won't have to go looking for one. You can't buy it early because the sticker goes on your room key, which you won't get until you board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It saved me some time, I knew I had seen it somewhere but had not found it again. Happy cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Kmkub Posted September 29, 2011 #5 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Ah, my bad. Do they put the sticker in your cabin so it's there when you board? Buying it when we got on the ship has never cost us more than 2 or 3 minutes. That keeps the money in our pocket for that much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Sue, actually this isn't available with the umlimited 'soda' card, but the ultimate card, which is a bit higher than the regular unlimited soda sticker in price (as some call it, soda card).

Love2CruiseMore Posted September 29, 2011 #7 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I have read that people buy one card and share it with family members...is this allowed? I can see it being OK to share the coffee card as it includes a set number of upgraded coffees...I'm new to Princess, just trying to figure it all out! Thanks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly3399 Posted September 29, 2011 #8 Share Posted September 29, 2011 If you do not purchase one of these cards, where can you get drinks for no charge and what kind are they? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy and Charlie's Mum Posted September 29, 2011 #9 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I buy one of these cards each cruise. They are good value for money and I love the hot chocolate after the shows at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisetwocruise1 Posted September 29, 2011 #10 Share Posted September 29, 2011 If you get the ultimate soda card from the princess website how do you get the sticker? Will it be in your room? I'm a little confused if I pre purchase on line or to buy it when I get on the ship. I heard that if get on the ship it will be $9.05 per day if I buy it on line it will be $8.05 a day. Is this true?

Thanks! :) Actually, each member of the family is 'supposed' to purchase the sticker (that goes on your cruise card), as the soda card is not actually a card you can pass around, but it is on your cruise card. I doubt you could go to the bar and order 2-3 or 4 sodas at the same time with only one person presenting a soda sticker on their card, as this was not it's purpose. The one whose card the sticker is on will be the only one that is actually entitled to the unlimited soda. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not aware of any savings by purchasing in advance. Originally the UKP sticker was $9 per day plus 15% gratuity. That has subsequently been reduced to $7 per day plus 15% gratuity as of our most recent cruise this past July on the CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Safe Posted September 29, 2011 #14 Share Posted September 29, 2011 We bought a couple of the UKD stickers. Very good value at $7 plus tip. I initially begrudged shelling out for them but we saved a great deal of money. We did need to show the sticker before we were allowed drinks. I lost my cruise card on the last night but we were told a replacement sticker would be given to us if we went to the information desk with our original receipt.

dog Posted September 30, 2011 #15 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I get the soda card & have been able to get up to 2 glasses at a time. If you purchase online, you'll get a card in your room to go pick up your sticker to put on your room card. so no need to pre purchase it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shofer Posted October 1, 2011 Author #16 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Thanks for all the info on this. I did find it on the link so will purchase it that way. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Unlimited Soda & More Package" for $8.05 which includes tip is what will give you mocktails, juice, hot chocolate, etc. Harriet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
