suenterry Posted January 28, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Does anyone know if they Sun Princess has DIET tonic water on board. We are sailing out of Singapore to Fremantle and if they don't have it, can I bring it on in Singapore. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satxdiver Posted January 28, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I love tonic water as it is a bit sour and tastes great with my gin. I have never seen diet tonic water on the ship. They have tonic water in cans and in their soda gun. You will have to bring your own diet tonic water onboard with you and/or buy it during shore stops. You can bring all you can carry. They only limit alcohol. Now I have a sudden urge for a nice gin and tonic with lime of course. :cool::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted January 28, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I actually prefer the taste of diet tonic rather than regular but they simply don't have any on Princess ships. If you want to drink in your own cabin take some with you. If you want a Gin and Tonic you will have to put up with "regular" tonic. If you order a Tanqueray and Tonic or a Hendricks and Tonic it will be fine. I prefer the Tanqueray but others prefer the Hendricks. Either one works for me I just prefer one to the other.

cmoq Posted January 28, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I am a diet tonic drinker and have to take my diet tonic on board. It is quite heavy to carry four bottles (large), but that is usually what I do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted January 28, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 28, 2018 At home I often drink "and Tonic" which is Gin and Tonic minus the Gin. I find that diet Tonic with lime is very refreshing and tasty. If I had Gin with it every time it wouldn't work out real well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Nomad Posted January 28, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 28, 2018 We had gin and diet tonic in the Skywalker Lounge for the 5pm to 7 pm platimum elite on board Emerald last February/March. Just ordered it and the waitress would go down 2 floors to Adagio Lounge and get a bottle and bring it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimpod Posted January 28, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I am diabetic so have diet tonic with my gin. I have been able to get it on some cruises but not on others. I was once told that I should have ordered it on the personaliser as a dietary requirement! I now pack a few small bottles in my luggage so I have some if the ship doesn’t. I have found it more available if there are more British passengers. I was once told that Americans don’t drink diet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beg3yrs Posted January 29, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I was once told that Americans don’t drink diet! That's funny. And ... isn't "diet" called "lite" in the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoalwater Posted January 30, 2018 #12 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hmmmm.... There are about 70 cal in 1 ounce of gin, and 70 cal in 5-6 oz of tonic water. Next trip I'm going on a diet and will have two G&Ts, with diet tonic please;p. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisinglady65 Posted August 31, 2023 #14 Share Posted August 31, 2023 So does Emerald Princess have diet tonic water at their bars..or would I be permitted to bring diet tonic water onboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if they stock diet tonic but you are definitely allowed to bring your own onboard. Each passenger is allowed a 12 pack of "soda" cans. A 12 pack of Diet Tonic in cans would be perfectly acceptable. (I actually prefer diet tonic to the regular.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had it last November at Skywalkers. I've found diet tonic on most Princess ships. But, it's usually only at one bar. It's up to you to find that bar. If you do find it, and it's not your favorite bar, just tell your favorite bartender, and they will probably have it the next day. I usually bring a liter or two on with me, just in case.

This is the information you need. When I didn't find the drink I wanted (Bulleit Rye) I searched the ship until I found the one bar that had it. Within two days every bar I visited had it in stock. Heck, even the wine steward in Vines kept a bottle behind the bar for me. 😍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
