Ann, try ASDA. They have discontinued Scapegrace. Probably a bit too expensive at £40. It is being cleared at £30 and well worth it.

Great will go this week- probably too smart as you say!

I'm afraid to admit I don't do gin (nasty incident with it 35 years ago) but I'm looking forward to trying this Fevertree with my grey goose vodka.😉

 

I wish there was a wheel of which vodka to drink with which fevertree as I am a (high end) vodka drinker as well!

I have been following tonic posts for the past year (mostly from Brit cruisers, who seem to be rabid in their preferences - lol)

I don’t drink gin either, but lots of lovely vodkas to choose from. Who needs tonic?😄

I would very happily pay for it onboard. May have to follow someone else's example and "recycle" some cans from the BA lounge in July! 😂

Alas BA have now removed Fever Tree from lounges and planes. They now have Schweppes.

😪 oh well, I can pack a few cans of FT I suppose. 

[lisiamc]

I might be the only one who prefers Schweppes to Fever Tree.  I think Fever Tree is too sweet, especially the “light” one.  Oh well, one fewer person competing for a scarce resource! 😁

Have you tried the Mediterranean flavour - my favourite!

[lisiamc]

I might give it a try!

I really enjoy the Mediterranean. My favourite is the pink-coloured Aromatic - it has a very defined flavour which I love!

[Grandma Cruising]

Just thought I’d confirm that the tonic on the Journey at present is mostly Schweppes, with the occasional Canada Club. The only bar that doesn’t have any Schweppes is the Pool Bar.

[Lottie A]

I have packed three cans of Fever Tree Mediterranean tonic for Pursuit the day after tomorrow and apparently there is a store in Malta which sells it....so I will be paying them a visit! 🤣

Wise move given the disappointing news from Norway

Maybe Richard Twynham need a memory jogger about his promise of last year. (That whilst the ships are in Europe, they will serve Schweppes).

 

I read on another thread were Gymfreak was weighing the option of buying the Ultimate Indulgence package. I am considering the same purchase, however, I won't waste the money if there a risk of a poor quality Tonic water.

Yes your right

I have upgraded my drinks package on other cruises but take the precaution of packing some decent tonic. 

It would seem I will need to continue doing this to enjoy the upgraded spirts.

I think it was Canada Dry on Quest, at least at the pool bar. Not my favorite

Its not the best, but at least it’s drinkable, unlike the dreadful Royal Club.

Don’t think I’ve ever been subjected to Royal Club. Guess I’m lucky!!

Prime C had a few bottles of Fevertree recently, or perhaps I should say, our most excellent bartender managed to find a few for us 😁 We did however, also buy some Q tonic in Seattle. It was fun to try side by side VT with Belvedere and 2 good tonics plus the Canada Dry. 

 

Too bad Azamara hasn’t made FT part of the UBP....

They would definitely sell some more UBP upgrades if they did so.  Hello, bean counters: are you listening?

Virgin Atlantic still do Fevertree (with Aviation gin) - worked for me flying across the pond.
