Phil We have certain standards - Easyjet does not meet our minimum (Fevertree tonic or not). I bet they charge a bundle for a G&T (and for the p needed afterwards?)

I bet they charge a bundle for a G&T (and for the p needed afterwards?) For me easyjet is just fine for short haul and they fly from my local airport. I'll pay extra (ok) for an extra leg room seat which comes with priority boarding and the flight crew are friendly. A Grey Goose (Hendricks if you want) and Fevertree is £7. I buy two vodkas to save the wait. 😉 No charge for a pee. Time it right, no waiting either. I always fly business and first for longer flights, but I have no issues with easyjet shorthaul and they are reliable.

Lottie A Posted July 21, 2019 #253 Share Posted July 21, 2019 My Hendrick's gin and Fever Tree tonic served by the utterly marvellous Ruby in Prime C bar tonight. You will all be glad to know the hideous Royal tonic is no more! From now on it will be Schweppes, Canada Dry for the diet variety and a small stash of Fever Tree if they have it! 😄👏🍸 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisiamc Posted July 21, 2019 #254 Share Posted July 21, 2019 The demise of Royal Club tonic is great news! I hope that’s fleet-wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted July 22, 2019 #259 Share Posted July 22, 2019 On a personal note, I just finished my supply of FT Elderflower Tonic and tried a Silent Pool with their Indian – not the same Good news: amazon carries it, and a case of FT Elderflower will arrive on Tuesday. Now I have to figure out what to put in it when the Silent Pool runs out [haven't seen that in NY]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottie A Posted July 22, 2019 #260 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Well I was told that the protests about the abysmal Royal tonic on this forum and by passengers onboard had played their part in Azamara deciding to get rid of the Royal Club tonic. Apparently cases of the stuff were junked recently. Schweppes is pretty much world wide so they shouldn't have that much trouble in obtaining it in The States, but I do know that Fever Tree won't always be available for everyone. It is onboard Pursuit now though and that makes me very happy. 😄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riocca Posted July 22, 2019 #261 Share Posted July 22, 2019 We were recently on Oasis of the Seas and the only tonic onboard was Schweppes, so if that’s the case on Royal Caribbean there’s no reason it shouldn’t be on Azamara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I’m waiting to see a prolonged period over a few continents until I celebrate. Sorry to sound cynical but with such an experience of deja vu on this issue.

Lottie A Posted July 22, 2019 #266 Share Posted July 22, 2019 OK...don't faint everyone but there is even a bottle of Silent Pool gin onboard...but I will have drunk it all by the end of the cruise! Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry! They have had it for a while actually they’ve got several they bought it in last year for the UK cruises but it bombed along with the award winning English sparkling wine (which did discredit some award processes imho- it was disgusting). They had some Silent Pool on Journey last month as well. I tried to kill Pursuits supplies last year, obviously I failed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottie A Posted July 22, 2019 #269 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Yes I know they had Silent Pool onboard from the UK last year Ann, but I thought it was all gone. There is one bottle left on Pursuit...but not for very long! 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have enjoyed it with St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur, but it would probably be better with a little regular tonic too (to get the bite of the quinine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamlee Posted August 3, 2019 #275 Share Posted August 3, 2019 We are currently on Quest. The tonic was initially Seagrams and is now Canada Dry. After a comment on the mid-cruise survey we now have 2 bottles of Fever Tree and 3 cans of Schweppes in our cabin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
