Do they have "Equal" or "Splenda" in the dining areas?

[terigo]

Yes, I know this question seems frivolous... but believe it or not, I hate Sweet and Low or any saccharine based sugar substitutes, and will only use Equal or Splenda in my coffee or iced tea...

 

If they don't have it, I will simply bring my own... but if they do, that will be just one more thing I don't have think to pack... :D

On out last cruise they had both in the Lido. Don't remember in the dining room, but I am sure if you asked your waiter he/she would get it for you.

They had both on the veendam.

IIRC all ships that we've been on had yellow, blue, pink kinds. :) We like the yellow (Splenda) but have seen it run out on shome ships. :(

They have the pink, blue and yellow artificial sweetener packets in all dining locations including Room Service.

Thanks, everyone!

I am laughing, cos you described it the way I usually do.... "do you have any yellow or blue stuff?"...... and people always know what I mean.... :D

Eurodam had it everywhere (i love the yellow). Lido, MDR and room service. Enjoy the Eurodam this weekend! I ll be catching the MSC Poesia this weekend. I'm thinking it's going to be an entirely different experience.

They have packages of about 4 different kinds of sweetener in the MDR................sometimes, it's a challenge to find the sugar!

They have both in all dining areas, even room service when you order coffee.:D

"They have the pink, blue and yellow artificial sweetener packets" - that does not mean it is splenda, sweet-n-low or equal - those are all brand names and cost more moeny.

[sail7seas]

HAL serves the brand names of Splenda, Sweet 'N Low and Equal. No generics.

I take it you've never been on a HAL ship?

We finally do not see eye to eye on something. I love the pink, the yellow and blue are too sweet for me. I think sacharin was in my mother's milk. Sweetest thing she ever did for me. :cool:

Bless you all. This is one of the most intelligent chats on these webs. It's OK to have a preference that you miss if it's not there!
