Iceland Posted April 7, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I was thinking of taking this option on our forthcoming cruise. I hardly drink alcohol, husband might have an occasional beer. Wonder what opinions others have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted April 7, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) I drink alcohol but, on one cruise, I purchase the Unlimited Soda and More package (although the sticker still said UKP - Ultimate Kid's Package :)) I loved it. Nohitios, Virgin Bloody Marys, etc. The drinks were great and I didn't have any alcohol on the cruise. (It was only a 4 day cruise... :D) You can get Orange Juice any time of day by asking for a Virgin Screwdriver. Try asking the bartender for a Virgin Martini. You might be surprised by the response... Edited April 7, 2016 by Thrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coveguy4 Posted April 7, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Great package, be aware does not cover bottled water or fresh OJ ordered or specialty coffees. Very good deal for soda, mocktails and shakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamkmm2 Posted April 7, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 7, 2016 When we visited Alaska we loved this because we were on the ship so much. I've rethought the option however for our upcoming British Isles cruise because it is a port-intensive and we'll be off the ship more than we'll be on it when we would use the unending soda, etc. option, or so it seems. Not to mention at $8.05/day for 12 days it is no small chunk of change. Ah well, there's time to think about it some more. But it if it was a shorter cruise and less port-intensive I would definitely go for it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what opinions others have. I get it every cruise. Love the virgin cocktails and shakes, and drink a LOT of Diet Coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaDeb Posted April 8, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Am considering getting the package on our upcoming cruise but last time ( on Caribbean Princess ) found the diet coke very sweet and syrupy....has it changed in the last 3 or 4 years? thanks.

tonit964 Posted April 8, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 8, 2016 My teenage daughter got the package on our last cruise and she had a drink called the Choco Banana and loved it. That was her drink for the remainder of the cruise. I tried a sip of it and it was really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like any Gun Served soda it varies, from bar to bar even on one ship. I have found that if I mention it, t does tend to improve. On the same theme it is amazing how much the taste varies in cans and bottles in different locations. Edited April 8, 2016 by GUT2407 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the same theme it is amazing how much the taste varies in cans and bottles in different locations. Here in Florida they have started to sell the Coca cola products that have been bottled in Mexico because they are made with real cane syrup as opposed to the processed sugar that is used at the bottling plants in the US. You can really tell the difference ... or in my opinion you can. On a bit of a silly note, I've been to the Coca cola museum in Atlanta and the last stop on the tour is their tasting room where you can taste coke brand products from around the world. OMG! What some countries call "cola" and what I call "cola" don't even exist in the same dimension. ROFL!!! I guess it is all what you are used to.

We don't travel outside Australia now, Mrs Gut isn't allowed fly, but when I get handed an American Diet Coke, I know straight away., I have wondered if it's formulated to taste like the corn syrup coke (or as close as they can) as the can will list the same ingredients, but taste way way different.

Arizona-Cruising Posted April 8, 2016 #13 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Well worth not having to count and keep track of how many drinks you are getting also you can order a large and not have to refill as often. And Scoops is included with the UKP along with fresh squeezed OJ at the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Shelly97060 Posted April 8, 2016 #14 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I like the card, as mentioned some of the mocktails are terrific and it is a fun way to try them. If I get the soda and more card and my coffee card I am good to go. On a side note, as mentioned it doesn't cover bottled water but for those who want it, Princess has a new bottled water package that is very reasonable.

Arizona-Cruising Posted April 8, 2016 #17 Share Posted April 8, 2016 My apologies, guess I was more tired then I realized your princess level can be a factor such as Plat-Elites my Elite suite travel friend informed me that the fresh squeezed OJ is dependent on your status I was part of her guest list. Not sure on OJ for breakfast but with my UKP sticker I do get grapefruit juice each morning in the Horizon court area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd019 Posted April 8, 2016 #18 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Does anyone know if there is a soda only package anymore? Not interested in all the other drinks/juices but we do drink a lot of soda. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on OJ for breakfast but with my UKP sticker I do get grapefruit juice each morning in the Horizon court area. No, Captain's Circle level has nothing to do with getting fresh squeezed OJ. However, sailing in a suite allows the passengers in the suite to have breakfast in Sabatini's and that includes fresh squeezed OJ. At breakfast time in the Horizon Court buffet, in the dining room or from room service you can get regular OK, grapefruit juice and several other kinds of juice at no charge, no UKP sticker needed. At times other than breakfast, the UKP sticker is needed to get those juices at no charge in the buffet or dining room.

cheeseclan Posted April 9, 2016 #22 Share Posted April 9, 2016 With the soda and more you can get juices throughout the day. the only time people can get fresh squeezed OJ is if you are in a suite and in Sabatinis for breakfast. My son always gets this package and loves to try the different mocktails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlynnRider78 Posted April 9, 2016 #23 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I always get the unlimited soda and more package when onboard, I don't drink alcohol or coffee so as it includes soda, mocktails, juice and hot chocolate it really is fantastic value for me.

ccruisequeen Posted April 9, 2016 #24 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I love the hot chocolate! One hot chocolate and two mocktails covers the daily price for the sticker I no longer see carnival from my condo front porch :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One hot chocolate and two mocktails covers the daily price for the sticker I no longer see carnival from my condo front porch :( Not even that. Now to be clear I'm talking Aussie $ here but.. Package $8.05 (or thereabouts) Mocktails $5 Hot Chocolate from coffee bar (IC or Lobby Bar) $2.25 So easy to make it value, I domissthem scanning my card and showing as $0.00 on my account, as I love to see them mount up.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
