Free soda??

[cfm1]

Is there free soda anywhere onboard the Vision of the Sea?

[Merion_Mom]

No, there is no such thing as free soda on any Royal Caribbean ship.

[Nliedel]

Nope. If you drink more than 4 a day on vacation then buy a soda card. If you drink less then you will save money by buying them as you want them.

The only free one is if a friend gives you one.:D

Sorry, new to RCCL. Even at dinner you can't get "free" soda? I can't believe that! How absurd! Are there any "free" drinks of any kind anywhere on the ships?

You posted this question two days ago, Nov.11, and I answered it the same day. No matter how many times you ask the question the answer will not change. No free soda on Royal Caribbean and there hasn't been any for years and years.

ice tea, lemonade, milk, coffee are free. Orangejuice at breakfast.

This is pretty much true of all the cruiselines(there are some exceptions), soda is charged by all the cruise lines, again with some exceptions. Absurd or not its the way it is. BTW there is no problem bringing aboard soda.

Well we've sailed Disney a few times and they have free soda at meals as well as at a station. That's what I'm used to. I'm glad to hear some beverages are free. Do they usually have a beverage station where you can get iced tea, lemonade etc during non-meal times?

Yes Disney is an exception and generally the prices are more so "free at meals" is somewhat of an oxymoron. In any case both at the buffet and generally on the pool deck there is normally ice tea and lemonaide available at all times. You can also always get it from Room Service( we tend to order ice tea and cookies at tea time)

Thanks! Ice tea and lemonade and milk are fine for our family. Healthier than soda too. I'm assuming coffee must be available at all times as well which is great.

Yes I did post this a couple of days ago. But this BB seems to be different than all of the others that I use. The threads keep moving around and you have search for them. I'm new to this BB.

 

Thank you for your information.

On RCCL and Celebrity I got my Orange Juice for Dinner always for free too.

[CGTNORMANDIE]

HOW DARE YOU...use the F word on RCI!!! LOL!!!

[madforcruising]

ooops, OK it was included or at no extra cost.;)

 

How are you? How was your cruise or should I say cruises.

[hardingk]

You can get a free soda at the captain's welcome aboard reception, if you ask for it. Otherwise, you always have to pay for it.

 

Also, so you are aware, the soda that comes witht he soad card is fountain soda. If you buy a soda indiviually, it comes from a can. Not sure what your preference is, but I only like the can!

[Guest nemo2005]

I understand that milk is no extra cost - what about chocolate milk? I'm guessing it is a special request at dinner - what about the Windjammer?

 

Does anyone know how much a can of "pop" costs on board? A prior post said you might buy them as you go, if you drink less than 4 a day. That would be me! But, I'm curious on the cost. I imagine there is a 15% gratuitity, too, on that can of pop? Or, maybe you get it from your mini bar? (if they have them)

[hardingk]

Chocolate milk is also included. If I remember right it is $1.50 with the grat. for 1 can of soda.

[windjamming]

I've been told on 2 cruises that lemonade isn't available at dinner. Not a big deal- I just had iced tea. Have others had a similar experience?

[windjamming]

Duplicate posting- sorry.

does anyone know how much the soda card is? I haven't had any luck on the RCI website....must just be me..LOL

$6/per day unlimited soda or $1.50/each soda

Thanks. We don't drink, so it's mostly soda for us. The card is probably the best value for us. My only other option is to lug 10 or 15 cases of diet coke to Europe....LOL

[rjg41]

......$6/day plus a 15% service charge plus sales tax if purchased in a port with sales tax.

[Mustang Nut]

Ok now is the time I get picky. Can one get caffeine-free diet coke onboard? I would hate to spend $144.00 on soda and not be able to drink it. Sorry if I sound like a finicky kid. I'm also a vegetarian so things are always interesting at mealtimes. Other then that, I'm normal...Promise!
