I am going on a Carnival Cruise in October, is the soda drink card worth it?

Question

I was wondering if is worth the expense of the card or should I pay as I go.

Answer 1

For me, personally- no.  I was happy with the lemonade, tea, coffee, water, punch, and juices.

For my husband and kids- yep.  They gotta have the fizzy sugar water.  But my kids are teens, so I made them buy their own if they wanted one.  For smaller kids, I wouldn't- unless I've already allowed them to become addicted to the stuff and don't want to hear the whining.

Answer 2

that all depends.  remember, you can probably get by bringing a 12 pack or 2 with you onboard.  Also, there are plenty of other free soft drinks.  So if you still think you are going to need 4 or more soft drinks beyond what you bring and the free stuff in the buffet area then go for it.

Answer 3

If you drink a lot of soda and can't do without it for a week, then, yes, it would be worth it.  If you only need one or two a day, probably not.

Answer 4

Soda by the can is $1.75 so if you drink 3 or more sodas a day, the program is well worth it.

The soda card is not valid for room service.

The soda card provides for unlimited glasses of soda.

Answer 5

THE DRINK CARD IS WORTH IT IF YOU DRINK A LOT OF SODA.  REMEMBER IT DOES NOT INCLUDE DRINKS JUST SOFT DRINKS.  A CAN OF SODA  IS ABOUT 2.00 PLUS TIP EVERYTIME YOU GET ONE.

Answer 6

yes buy it if you like sodas well worth it .. sodas add up fast. one on deck ,one at the show ,maybe one at dinner,thats's about 10.00 , see where i'm going

Answer 7

I just got back from one, and AND  YES it is...

Answer 8

If you are the type of person that likes to drink two or more sodas a day, then yes it is worth it. I think it is only like $5 a day, and if you buy pop individually, it is like 2 - $3 each. We usually get one whenever we cruise. Have a great time.

Answer 9

i feel i wasted money on my card because the second we left port i craved for water more than tea...also they give you a lil tiny behind cup of soda and you have to keep asking for more! ugh it was so annoying. better off drinking water and drinking the free juice and tea.
