Anyone know what the cost of the 7-night soft-drink card is on Costa Mediterranea?

Hi, Paul, and welcome to CLF!
There are a few Costa cruisers here, but not an enormous amount.
So, I put a copy of your question in the Costa forum, just in case!

hey I just got back this week from sailing on the costa mediterranea great cruise, but I have to say the soda card was messed up. there view of a "soda" card is actually a drink card which allows you to buy any virgin drinks, juice or soda only a total of 20 of any, and thats it. i believe the price was 60 dollars. well the wife and i were quite unhappy about this so we decided to bring an extra empty bag on the flight and stopped at a wallgreens and got four 2 liters to put in our "carry on bag" no questions asked we got right on and we put them in our room and enjoyed soda all week.

np glad I could help!!! Also if you go on the Costa website and you have a booking number you can sign in and look at excursion prices, flower & candy and I believe I saw the "drink card listed on there as well !!!

The Drink Card is called the Boys & Girls Card. Your info on cost and the 20 drink limit is correct.

Boys and Girls Card $59.00* U.S.
20 non-alcoholic drinks, selections include:

Soft drinks
Virgin Delights
Fresh squeezed citrus fruits
Iced tea
Milk shake with fresh fruit
Assorted juices
Syrups

The only nice aspect of their drink card policy is, it allows you to get various types of non-alcoholic drinks, instead of limiting you to just sodas, but many may wish to have more than 20 virgin drinks while on board.

Um, yes, I was the only one willing to be a guide, I guess.

That's not true Ken. You were the only one we asked to become a Costa guide. We think you are already doing a fantastic job! It seems if you don't know the answer, you know where to get it. And you are a wonderful addtion to our guide staff.
