Current Price of Single Soda - Can & Fountain

[DD]

This isn't meant to open another thread on the value of Princess Plus. I just would like to know the current price of a soda onboard, either a can, a fountain soda, or both. I've looked at the drink menus and do not see prices listed for them. I realize it could vary, but what have been your recent experiences. Thanks!

It has been quite some time since we've sailed *without* a beverage package...but if I remember correctly, a can of coke was $2.50.  (But keep in mind that's been awhile, now...)

I think it is $2 for fountain and $2.50 for a can plus 18% gratuity.  I usually just pick up a 6 pack at one of the port calls.

Remember that each passenger can carry on a 12 pack at embarkation with no fee. Just be sure to actually carry it on and don't put it in your checked luggage.

Current prices:

Virgin drinks - $7.

Fresh squeezed o.j. - $2.50

Soda - fountain $2, can $2.50

Hot chocolate - $3.

Americano - $3.

Espresso - $2.50

Double espresso - $3.

plus 18% gratuity.

We had the "old" soda price which was still expensive but worked out okay.  We are sailing Enchanted September and, with the "new" soda prices it is WAY cheaper to pay as we go plus, for the first time, we are carrying on 24 cans of soda.  Surprisingly, we enjoyed the fountain Diet Coke more than the canned.  The U.K. canned was way better than the Netherlands cans.

Thank you so much!

I kept track of our beverage spending to determine what is best for us; Canadian non alcohol drinkers.  We paid $473.07 Canadian for two classic Soda packages.  If we had paid individually the cost would have been $532.22 Canadian which included the 18% gratuity.  However, on our upcoming September cruise with the increased cost of $619.08 for the classic Soda packages it’s a no brainer to pay individually.  We will also, for the first time, carry on our 24 cans of Soda which will reduce our costs further.  New pricing means no packages for us.

I've done both at FLL, never had an issue.  Might matter to the port, but FLL seems to allow whatever.

Just off Sapphire, can of coke total $3.15.

You can have cans ordered to the room prior to sailing.  In the On Board Serves section of your booking, it is $11.80 for six cans.

On the Royal in April, cans were $2.50 and fountain $2. 

 

[cruiselovrs]

For cans of coke purchased on board, is the total price $2.50?  Or do they add 18% and it comes to $2.95 per can as the total price?

[Senga]

@cruiselovrs  18% added.
