We're taking our first cruise. 3 night sensation2/14.  Prefer that kids don't drink soda the whole time and we're a family of big water drinkers.  Is bottled water a drink selection that is included in the "all inclusive price"?  How about iced t and lemonade? 

Also just how formal formal does dining attire have to be?  We're trying to pack as little as possible.  Will khaki pants and collared shirts work for kids?  If we decide to eat in the less formal dining room, will we have similar menu?

Thanks for any and all replies and tips!!

No to bottle water. They charge alot for it. The lemonade and ice tea (not the alcohol type) are free. We bring  a 12  pack of pint bottled water in our suite case and refill them at the water dispencer in the buffet area.

There is only one formal night and I have seen adults even in only a shirt & tie no jacket and that is only in the main dinning room and not in the buffet. The other nights the main dinning room slacks and polo or collared shirts are ok.

Bottled water is not included, but you can bring your own bottles and fill them up in the buffet area. Lemonade and iced tea are included. I just came back yeaterday from aboard the Freedom with my daughter and 2 grandchildren ages 10 and 6 and I did not get them soda cards. They are also big water drinkers. they drank the lemonade, orange juice.  As for the dining room, khaki's and collared shirts are just fine for you and the kids. Most of the women wore capri's and nice tops, or pants and nice tops. Formal night it ranges from very formal gowns to pants and nice tops. the kids are fine with khakis and shirts.
