Why on earth would Coke give away the syrup? As others have pointed out, they used to charge like $25 per person for unlimited soda. They probably raised the fares by $50 when when went to soda included.
My e-mail box is full of offers from RCCL, NCL, and Celebrity offering free unlimited alcoholic beverage if you book with them.
Coke always gave their syrups free to Disney. It was good publicity and then gave them the rites to also sell their bottles at a huge profit. Its a great profit maker. I worked for Disney back in 2003 and it was def free back then. It ensured that Disney only sold coke across the property.
That said I really don't know if Disney would risk taking away soft drinks. If they did then it would probably cause more issues than the profit they would take from it.
