MattInFLL Posted November 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 9, 2018 The latest post I could find on this topic was from 2016 - so just wondering if anyone has had recent experience on the brand(s) available. I was hoping for something other than O'Doul's. Becks makes a great one - but hard to find. I'm about to do my first cruise where I don't buy a drinks package and try to stick to a weight management program I've been doing rather successfully and alcohol and weight loss don't mix for me. 🙂 Club soda with lime gets very boring. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted November 9, 2018 #4 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Actually, if you don’t mind questionable additives, the flavored waters on board aren’t bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattInFLL Posted November 10, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted November 10, 2018 No, they're not. I actually use the flavorings now to get through the half gallon of water I'm drinking every day.... but I do like the taste of alcohol and the habit of lifting the drink to your face seems hard to break 🙂 The NA beer is actually quite satisfying (and low calorie!).. and I have found a distilled non-alcoholic spirit made in the UK that makes a great mock gin and tonic - but it's so hard to find on land, I know there's no way that would be on board 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulofDenial Posted November 10, 2018 #8 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I do club soda with lime. Alcohol is bad for my waistline and makes me grouchy if I drink too often. The fringe benefit of having that as your preffered drink is that bartenders will often not charge you for it. I was not charged for it about half of the time when I ordered it on Grandeur. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vacationlover_mn Posted November 10, 2018 #9 Share Posted November 10, 2018 My favorite lower call drink onboard is Sprite Zero, vodka and a splash of cranberry 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidanlana Posted November 12, 2018 #10 Share Posted November 12, 2018 On my 2 recent cruises this year (the last was 2 weeks ago) they were serving Heineken 0% in the Diamond Lounge, and I’m assuming they will have this throughout the ship. They previously has O’Douls and Becks zero but I haven’t came across them - maybe I wasn’t trying hard enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaquera63 Posted November 12, 2018 #11 Share Posted November 12, 2018 on our last cruise my husband drank NA beers and they had O'Douls and Bucklers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
