How much a fountain fun card costs at a cruise?
It depends on the cruise line and the length of the cruise and they also charge a different rate for adults and children. In March, we took the Carnival Conquest, a 7-day cruise. The adult soda cards were about $40 and the kids cards were about $35. In 2006, on a 5-day Carnival cruise, the adult card was $35 and the kids card was $30. The cards provide you with a glass of soda upon request. If you want a can of soda or order soda with room service, you pay for it. If you typically drink 3 sodas a day, then the card pays for itself. The soda by the can is $1.75. Bar drinks are $4-12 each plus a 15% gratuity. It is about the same cost on the Royal Caribbean. However, the bartenders on the RC will go out of their way to serve the soda fountain drinkers last. We have never had a problem getting sodas on Carnival using the card.
