Tea, OJ, Apple, Cranberry juice, but is there more now?

So I've read in a few threads that NCL has added some more drinks to choose from at the buffet like Lemonade and flavored waters. Is this true fleet wide or is it rumored?

Dawn has 2 sugar free flavored water,s in the buffet dispensers . :)

Jewel had tropical mango and strawberry kiwi at lunch and dinner, and I saw lemonade a couple times at dinner. Not all dispensers had each flavor though.

Sugar free . . . in this case, does that mean with artificial sweetener or just no sweetener? I am allergic to all that "other" sweetener! Would hate to try that flavored water and ruin my cruise!:eek:

assume that it means that it is sweetened with something other than cane sugar.

It has artificial sweetener. Splenda is in it not sure what else.

It was definitely sweet but not sure what they used for sweetner. Does anyone have the specific details (like a photo of the ingredient list)?

[biker@sea]

The guy on the Dawn was filling the Dispenser with 1/2 gallon 'milk carton type'

flavorings when I commented to him that I really liked it.:D

 

He said "they have had it four about 4 week now and it,s sugar free "with a wink and a smile. :)

Well, I guess just to be safe I better ask someone when I get on the ship! Other than cane sugar could be high fructose corn syrup which is OK but Splenda or Nutrasweet etc. is a huge No-No!

[Oldgoat61]

Do they offer lemonade along with the flavored waters?, or is it just on certain ships at certain times?

[ttnc4me]

So excited about the flavors now!!

As I mentioned previously, according to the F&B manager on the Sky it contains sucralose aka Splenda

That's great news for diabetics and those of us to prefer non-caloric sweetners. :)

There was lemonade on the Gem along with the flavored waters.

[sdmike]

On the Jewel there was always iced tea, and usually one of the flavored waters. Only once did I see lemonade. The rest of the time it was the tropical mango or the strawberry kiwi.

 

 

The label sitting on the top says strawberry kiwi :)

I also have problems with most artificial sweeteners (which would definitely ruin several days of the cruise!). I suggest asking the Food and Beverage Manager at the Cruise Critic Meet and Greet (they do usually come for a brief time). I have even asked a crew member (while in the buffet) to show me the original container so I can read the ingredients. That's how I found out that I can't drink most of the juices served by NCL (and other lines). When in doubt, check it out.

I'm the same way - most artificial sweeteners are an issue for me, so when in doubt, I simply DON'T lol... I would like to add that if you have allergies or issues like these, you might want to watch the bartender make your alcoholic drinks as well. I LOVE a good Dirty Banana, and have had several made over the years. On the Epic, I sat in Posh and watched the bartender put all the ingredients in a blender (fresh banana, chocolate syrup, liquids, etc) and whip them up. Had a hankering for one in the casino one afternoon, so ordered it without thinking. One sip and it started a terrible allergic reaction - hives, Tongue swelling, throat closing etc.. Thank goodness hubby was just a phone call away, he rushed down with benadryl (I had my Epipens in hand) and averted a more serious reaction. It seems that the bartender had used banana daiquiri mix instead of fresh banana, and it contained numerous allergens.. Just a heads up for those with allergies! I am fairly new to this, with my allergies getting serious in my late forties, and it's kinda freaky..
