Cans of Soda

[pizzalady1]

Is Princess Coke or Pepsi? Can you buy cans, not fountain drinks at a bar? If so, how much is a can? Thank you.

Princess serves Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Ginger Ale, Root Beer and Tonic water. They are all available by the can at bars or from your server.

Haven't been on a ship for a year or so but the price was at least $2.25 (plus 15% auto tip) per can.

Searches online show $2.00 plus tip.

Coke...about $2.20 including tip.

 

Instead we’ll bring soda onboard which Princess does not limit.

Yes you can buy cans.

Also as stated if you can you can bring it on as well.

Just noticed this in my cruise personalizer.

That’d reduce the price from $2.30 per can to $1.92 (tip included).

 

On previous cruises that offer has also been available from Room Service.

It’s a relatively good bargain but could carry on cans of soda for about 25 cents per can. ☺️

Thanks all. I am just thinking ahead--we will be in London and taking a bus to Southampton. It might be a pain to deal with luggage and a 12 pack of cans. There is one advantage of schlepping cans is that I could get Pepsi.

I admit that I can be cheap, but I am willing to pay $2.25 or whatever it is for the cans I consume.

 

We have the Soda and More package for daytime consumption, and we trade in the mini-bar set-up for cans of Coke, so we have a lot of soda cans to start with, but my wife likes to have cans of soda in the fridge for late night and morning (pre-facing the world).  So I probably buy about 10 cans each week, over and above what we get in the mini-bar swap.

 

I am NOT going to hassle carrying on a 12-pack or paying a porter to carry one more piece of "luggage".  I paid $5.69 for a 12 pack of Coke at the grocery store yesterday (and I complained about that high price!!!).  I'll pay Princess $27 for those 12 cans, and in my mind, I just add it onto the cost of the cruise.  Since we don't drink booze, that $27 plus the Soda and More is our entire bar tab.

 

Now, if I needed a Pepsi product, or if Princess changes from Coke to Pepsi, well, that would be a different story!!!

Just adding .... The drink package is fountain drinks (from the gun) ... not cans of Coke.

Is it permissible to bring club soda or Perrier on board? Would you carry it on or check it?

You can do either, but if you check it, be sure it can take the rough handling luggage often gets.

Thanks.  I think carrying it onboard might be a better plan.
