Artificial sweeteners: fake or real?

[Cmildenb]

I was on RCCL last year and they had pink, blue, and yellow packets of artificial sweeteners. You would think this would be saccharin, aspartame, and sucralose, respectively, if you use the same colors the brand names use. The packets all said RCCL on the front (they were generic), but they were also all ASPARTAME.

 

This felt like they were trying to deceive folks who use artificial sweetener.

 

Does Carnival offer actual sucralose aka Splenda in the yellow packets, or is it all aspartame like in RCCL?

[Mr Cruz]

Carnival has the name brand Splenda.

If you prefer a particular brand, you can always bring your own :)

 

Happy cruising!

Did each color packet actually say aspartame?

[Cmildenb]

Yes, each color said aspartame on the back where the ingredients were listed.

Someone from CC mentioned this prior to my RCCL sailing and I brought my own Splenda, but I thought I'd try and find out if the same is true of Carnival.

Not surprised by RCCL cutbacks, but Splenda is the real deal on Carnival

Thank you, Sargent_Schultz!

I bring my own. Stevia or I just used the real stuff.
