smilejesuslovesu Posted November 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I am just wondering if they still give you a Carnival cup when you purchase the basic soda package...TIA and be Blessed and safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic101680 Posted November 17, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 17, 2022 On my cruise last month, they had cups but you had to pay for them. They did advertise all over the ship that they were discounted for those with the soda package though. I want to say the discounted price was $10-15 but I honestly can't be sure since no one in my group got one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like rcl soda pkg. I dont ever remember carnival including a free cup. Maybe I have them confused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoifmom Posted November 17, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Carnival has never given the cup with the package. There are many available, with one particular style discounted if you have BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many available, with one particular style discounted if you have BB. On our first Carnival cruise on the Glory in 2003 they did give us a large Carnival insulated mug with a list of their ships. To get the mug you had to buy the soda package when boarding. The offer was not available after you left the Main lobby. We were surprised that they included the mug. There is a price sticker on the bottom of $6.00. We still have all three mugs and I bring mine on every cruise, regardless of which cruiseline we are sailing. Many people (including employees) notice the mug and ask about it or tell me they used to have one. We always hand washed and air dried it. Dishwashers destroy plastic during the dry cycle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I started cruising with Carnival in 2012. Somewhere along the way they must have discontinued the practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2tcdx2 Posted November 17, 2022 #8 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Many years ago, Carnival did include the cup with the soda package. But I am thinking that was more like 8-10 years now. Having to think of when my son went and had gotten the soda package, and was given the cup. Now it seems to be something you can pay extra for.

Yes they did but it was with the basic soda, we have 3 cups from past cruises we got that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseHealing Posted November 17, 2022 #12 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I forgot about the red tumblers. That is what they gave us in 2005 or 2006. We cruise with our mugs because it holds about 30% more. Our tumblers are probably packed in some box in the attic. They were also included with the price in the beverage (soda) package.

sherden24 Posted November 20, 2022 #13 Share Posted November 20, 2022 We were on the Dream in June. We bought ours and received a discount as we had the drink package. We will take them back in December. It is a 16 oz tumbler so not big but worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linguist208 Posted November 20, 2022 #14 Share Posted November 20, 2022 We were on the Valor in June. Cups not included in the package, we had to buy ours (~$15 each). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I have them confused. Nope, you're correct as far as current practice goes. The cups on Royal are critical since the chip on the bottom of the cup activates their Freestyle Coke machines. That's cool, but there were times when I regretted having to haul the cup around. I was astonished Royal didn't market a bandolier- or baldric-style insulated cup holder like every Six Flags park offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
