terigo Posted November 29, 2010 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remember in the dining room, but I am sure if you asked your waiter he/she would get it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catl331 Posted November 29, 2010 #4 Share Posted November 29, 2010 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. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted November 29, 2010 #5 Share Posted November 29, 2010 They have the pink, blue and yellow artificial sweetener packets in all dining locations including Room Service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terigo Posted November 29, 2010 Author #6 Share Posted November 29, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfdoug Posted November 29, 2010 #7 Share Posted November 29, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koshlong Posted November 29, 2010 #8 Share Posted November 29, 2010 They have packages of about 4 different kinds of sweetener in the MDR................sometimes, it's a challenge to find the sugar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamirish Posted November 30, 2010 #10 Share Posted November 30, 2010 "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.

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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutland Gate Posted November 30, 2010 #14 Share Posted November 30, 2010 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
