Bottomless Bubbles (soda) package question. I thought soda was free?

[gozagswoohoo]

Granted, I haven't been on a Carnival cruise in 3 years, but I thought soda was free?? Seems like I remember getting my pizza and fries at the buffet area near the pool, and filling up my soda cup whenever I wanted.

 

Am I remembering incorrectly...?

[teknoge3k]

Not on Carnival.

[Megan_Strick]

I've never heard of that

[gozagswoohoo]

Are there any free drinks available then? I don't recall paying for drinks, but maybe I was just getting water...??

Soda not free. Water, iced tea and some sort of punch (watered down of course) free near the coffee bars in the buffet. And breakfast apple and orange juice from the same fountain set up.

Lemonade and tea (unsweetened Iced tea)

[Schoifmom]

Tap water, lemonade, iced tea, coffee, and hot tea are all included in your fare. At breakfast there are a variety of juices.

Lemonaide, coffee, and tea is free. And some fruit juice is free at breakfast, too.

Since the first one for my family on the Mardi Gras in 76 we have paid for soda. The soda package starts to look good if someone drinks three or more per day.

Sorry, cokes not free and never have been on Carnival. Who has free cokes?

[Melcoug]

Disney is the only mass-market line I know of that has free soda available.

[gozagswoohoo]

Thanks for clearing this up! I appreciate it everyone!

[famof4togo]

SO that's why Disney is so pricey lol

[Bernardo62]

C'mon...... I started cruising on Carnival back in '96 and the sodas was not free then!!!

On my first cruise in 1995 on the then Nordic Empress, soda was included in the MDR only.

NEVER been free!!!

[lovingretirement]

Don't forget the hot chocolate!

[myfuzzy]

I've been sailing since 1990, soda has never been free

[Chervil]

Definitely not free, as everyone else has said.

I only drink a few sodas or juice a day, but what makes the Bottomless Bubbles worth it is getting a root beer and then hitting the self serve ice cream to make your own root beer floats!

As an alternative, you are permitted to bring 12 12-oz cans of soda per person onboard at no cost. So if you're looking for a soda fix without the pricetag, this might work for you.

 

Details are outlined in your cruise agreement.

I packed a few cans of root beer in my carry on, I sure enjoyed those “floats” with the soft serve ice cream!

No. I've been sailing Carnival since Dec 2000 and soda has never been free at least since that time.

That must be why they charge more than double what a Carnival cruise costs. ;)

[vamartha]

What you can do is take one 12 pack of soda per person onboard with you. It must be carried on and not packed in your checked luggage. I use a rolling suitcase for mine.
