Carnival Cruise Line Soda and Bottled Drink Prices at JavaBlue Café
If you’re sailing with Carnival Cruise Line and don’t have a beverage package, it helps to know how much sodas, bottled water, sports drinks, and other non-alcoholic beverages cost onboard. JavaBlue Café is one of the places where passengers can purchase individual canned and bottled drinks in addition to the specialty coffees and treats the venue is known for.
The photos below show the drink selection and posted prices at a Carnival JavaBlue Café. Most of the canned Coca-Cola soft drinks pictured were priced at $3.75 each, while bottled Powerade was $4.50. The refrigerated cases also carried several other options, including sparkling water, Coke Zero, Diet Coke, Sprite Zero, Barq’s Root Beer, Mr. Pibb, Fanta Orange, Powerade Zero, and Gold Peak tea.

Coca-Cola – $3.75
Carnival serves Coca-Cola products onboard, and regular Coca-Cola was priced at $3.75 per can at the JavaBlue Café shown in these photos.
Passengers who prefer Coke products have several choices available across Carnival ships, and the selection shown in these refrigerated cases goes well beyond regular Coca-Cola.
Fanta Orange – $3.75
Fanta Orange was also available for $3.75 per can.
The refrigerator also shows additional sodas on the lower shelves, including Sprite and other Coca-Cola products.
Mr. Pibb – $3.75
Mr. Pibb was priced at $3.75 per can at JavaBlue Café.
The cans pictured are the larger 16-ounce size. Barq’s Root Beer can also be seen on the shelf below.
Barq’s Root Beer – $3.75
Barq’s Root Beer was another $3.75 option.
Carnival’s current onboard beverage selection includes Barq’s Root Beer among its Coca-Cola products.
More Soda and Sparkling Water Options
The JavaBlue refrigerator had considerably more than the four sodas highlighted by individual price signs.
The selection visible here includes:
• Coca-Cola
• Diet Coke
• Coke Zero Sugar
• Coke Caffeine Free
• Sprite
• Sprite Zero Sugar
• Fanta Orange
• Barq’s Root Beer
• Mr. Pibb
• Topo Chico sparkling water
• San Benedetto sparkling water
A sign in the refrigerator lists Coke Caffeine Free at $3.75. San Benedetto Sparkling Water is marked at $4.00.
Because beverage selection and prices can change, these photos are best used as a snapshot of what was actually available at the time rather than a guarantee that every Carnival ship or sailing will have precisely the same inventory.
Powerade Zero and Gold Peak Tea
JavaBlue also stocks non-carbonated drinks.
The refrigerator pictured contains red Powerade Zero along with bottles of Gold Peak tea.
Carnival lists both Powerade and Powerade Zero among beverages offered onboard, with flavors including Lemon Lime, Fruit Punch, Mountain Blast, and Fruit Punch Zero depending on the product.
Sprite and Sprite Zero – $3.75
Both regular Sprite and Sprite Zero Sugar were available for $3.75 per can.
This gives passengers a regular and zero-sugar lemon-lime option without having to order from a bar.
Powerade – $4.50
Bottled Powerade was priced at $4.50.
The photo shows yellow and red varieties stocked in the refrigerated case. Bottled water is also visible alongside the Powerade.
Powerade and Additional Bottled Drinks
The final section of the refrigerator provides another look at the range of bottled drinks available.
Powerade bottles occupy much of the lower shelf, while Sprite Zero and Barq’s Root Beer are stocked immediately above.

Can You Get Carnival Sodas With a Drink Package?
Yes. Carnival offers beverage packages that include eligible soft drinks.
Bottomless Bubbles includes Coca-Cola products such as Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero Sugar, Sprite, Sprite Zero Sugar, Fanta Orange, Barq’s Root Beer, and Mr. Pibb, along with several additional non-alcoholic selections.
