A post-cruise report:I bought the soda card upon boarding, and kept a tally just for fun. While I may have missed some, I believe that I drank a total of 73 sodas over the course of the 11 days, and this included a lot of the 24-oz insulated "water" bottles that I had them fill with my card. Never had a bar waiter or bartender give me anything but good service when I flashed my sticker. If I had paid by-the-can, I would have been out over $160 versus the $57 I paid. Your mileage may vary. Since I typically drink two to three at lunch and dinner, I knew going into the trip it'd be worthwhile. For an occasional soda drinker, the mini-bar in the cabin may make more sense--but if you drink more than 2 a day, you'd be better off with the sticker.
