Hi.... My daughter doesn't drink soda. What is my best options for drinks for her. She likes fruit punch, apple juice, etc. Are these availble on the soda card?

Yes and no. Here's the children's soda card program.

20 non-alcoholic drinks, including non-alcoholic smoothie in a 12-14 oz. Glass

The teen and a guest are entitled to an afternoon dance party with the D.J., pizza and unlimited non-alcoholic drinks

The Teen will also receive an invitation to a "Farewell Frat Party" on the last evening of the cruise. Passports are not replaceable if lost.

The basic soda card includes all the items that's available from a batender's wand. Juices aren't included.
But, juices are available at the buffet/cafeteria in the mornings, so I recommend filling up a large jug to drink later in the day. Also water, tea, and milk are available at all the restaurants at every meal.

Our son doesn't drink soda, either. On our NCL cruise last summer, we were not charged for juice for our son in the main dining rooms during meals. Limited types of juice were at the buffet during breakfast hours. The only time we had to pay for them was when ordering in the lounges and bars.

Milk was always available at the buffet and dining rooms. There is a charge for bottled water, and I doubt that is covered with the soda card. Neither my son nor I minded the free water offered at the buffets and dining rooms.

One thing I did notice was that the kids who ordered with the soda card got very small glasses. There was one time that I ordered a diet coke (no soda card) just before a kid with a soda card ordered a coke. The bartender came back with a full can and a glass for me, and a very small glass of fountain soda for the young man. I think my fellow passenger was a bit miffed.
