"Cola Wars"

Just curious...do any ships on any cruise line serve both Coke and Pepsi?

 

I know most don't...they get an incentive deal for exclusive sales by one or the other's group, but wonder if there are any exception's to this?

As I recall QM2 had pepsi in the soda guns but you could get coke by the bottle/can

Yep. Some of us prefer a better product. 😁

Personally, I can tell a difference if tasted side by side....but either will do IF I want a cola!  I can't really tell a difference if only on is served.  Not a big cola drinker, tho...

Some of the luxury lines may have both brands,

[GUT2407]

Have yet to find a mainstream line that offers both.

 

have recently been in discussion with a few small expedition lines and two said, when asked about brands, “Tell us your preference and some idea on quantity and we will do our best”, and that wasn’t limited to just Coke or Pepsi.

On Holland America, I bring my own unlimited sodas (Diet Mt Dew). 

[MicCanberra]

Cunard have a fiery Ginger ale that is very nice.

Same here.

 

EXCEPT, rum and Pepsi just does NOT work. 😄

I can certainly taste the difference but choose not to drink any if I can help it. Too much sugar.

I drink diet versions, what really amazes me is the difference between say American Diet Coke and Australian Diet Coke. I guess it’s due to real coke being made on Corn Syrup there, sugar here and they try to get the diet version as close as they can.

[MicCanberra]

Yep, a very different taste. I try and avoid sodas when cruising. Ginger ale is about all I would drink.

Ginger Beer has more of the "fiery" ginger bite usually.  Most bars will have it for certain cocktails (Dark & Stormy, Moscow Mule), but the drink itself can be more than other soft drinks since not typically fountain (in the US).

Try Coke Zero in that Cuba Libre

[GUT2407]

I’m in Australia and it’s all different, but for me

 

Pepsi Max

Diet Coke

Diet Pepsi

 

in that order

 

i can’t stand Coke Sugar Free, or Coke Zero, and hate when places try to pass it off.
