Costa Atlantica Beverages

[Dessert Diva]

I am very confused on the issue of beverages on Costa. Can any one help me out? Can you get a Boys and Girls Beverage card as a non-alcohol drinking adult? Can it be shared? What's the cost in $? For those that do drink but not a lot, do you find the Drink Cards to be a value? Will the allow a case of water to be carried on as a checked bag?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

The "Boys & Girls" drinks package can be bought by anyone (including adults) they can be shared between say the family. It can either be bought before the cruise or once onboard, also in unlimited numbers. It used to be a book of coupons, now it is a running total on your Costa Card, when you order you will get a receipt showing how many are left.

 

Price is (have have increased lately) for 10 drinks €23 or 20 €46, drinks included are:

 

Soft drinks - Virgin delights

Fresh squeezed citrus fruit - Iced Tea

Milk shake with fresh fruit

Assorted Juices

Syrups

 

With regards to bringing a case of water onboard, the following is from Costa T&C:

 

We would also like to inform you that, in line with the health and safety standards adopted by Costa Cruises for its Guests, it is forbidden to bring any kind of food or drink on board, in either hand baggage or cabin baggage. The only exceptions are toiletries (e.g. shampoo, bath foam, creams, etc.), liquid medicines, products or foods specifically made for babies, products or foods for certified special diets. The ban includes any food or drinks bought during stopovers in ports. Any local produce purchased on stopovers will be held in store on board the ship and returned to Guests at the end of the cruise
