I couldn't distinguish a coke from a pepsi if my life depended on it. And (boom) I doubt 90% of the posters here could either. Mr Mel totally can, and I think I could. Coke is (to me) too sweet unless there is alcohol mixed in, and Pepsi is sweeter to me. Coke is Mr Mel's life blood, so he is going to be Very Happy.

Pepsi will bother me once in a while, but nothing like Coke. Dr.Pepper is my go to, followed by root beer. I am not thrilled neither is a choice. Why can't they install Freestyle machines and have more choices for soda? (Sigh) I will hope there is a port that sells Dr.Pepper that I can buy and bring on board.

Been waiting for some one to chime in on the Escape getting Coke asked a few times with no response. So hopefully by next week the conversion will be over. One thing I always had a hard time finding was gatoraid or poweraid. 1 spot I did find it was in the kids game room in a vending machine. They also had hard to find soda in there too.

Will be on that ship next month. Never been a fan of Pepsi, so this change is a plus for me. Was on Pride of America last week, they were still serving Pepsi products. Staff was not aware of when they would be changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mitsugirly Posted December 21, 2022 #35 Share Posted December 21, 2022 So, they are not allowing you to bring your pop with you anymore in a luggage? Will they allow you to buy in port and bring back on board? What about from the vending machines prior to going onto the ship after you've checked in? I have always purchased the soda package as well...but I hate the way they load it with ice, shake up the 2 liter bottles when pouring and it's just so watered down by the time you drink it! I always like to wake up to "my" caffeine (I don't drink coffee). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband was able to bring two bottles of Coke onboard (when that vile Pepsi liquid was still the only option) that he had forgotten were in his bag. Security didn't blink an eye. 1 hour ago, mitsugirly said: I have always purchased the soda package as well...but I hate the way they load it with ice, shake up the 2 liter bottles when pouring and it's just so watered down by the time you drink it! I always like to wake up to "my" caffeine (I don't drink coffee). They shake up two liter bottles? Where do you get served from a two liter bottle onboard? Also, here's how you order your drink. "May I have a Coke with 'light/no ice,' please?" Then you don't have to worry about a ton of ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boopuff Posted December 21, 2022 #39 Share Posted December 21, 2022 So here’s the thing: if you like a citrus based cola, Pepsi is for you. If you like a vanilla/caramel flavored then Coke is your go to. I for one can tell the difference and Pepsi is not my thing. Consumer reports did a whole thing during the “cola wars”. They found people won’t switch their flavor profiles and change what they like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would definitely be another way to get the perfect amount of ice for your drink...maybe even better than requesting light ice! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowergirl22 Posted December 21, 2022 #42 Share Posted December 21, 2022 The self serve Coca Cola in Indulge Food Court (the only place I tried it) on the PRIMA, back in October, didn’t taste anything like REAL Coke, Tasted more like generic, store brand Cola.

Rare pookel Posted December 22, 2022 #45 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I was actually a little disappointed when I heard they were switching to Coke because I was counting on the lack of Coke products to control my sugar intake! 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davechipp74 Posted December 22, 2022 #46 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Can we address the more important issue of how NCL only carries French's Yellow Mustard (which is God awe full) and not Gulden's Spicy Brown (a proper deli mustard)? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseagona Posted December 24, 2022 #47 Share Posted December 24, 2022 "... I have it on good authority that if if you have a bottle of Pepsi in your backpack when you board in most ports, they probably won't stop you." That is true. I have done it many times and they do not stop me. That said, one of my almost favorite things is to have a nice glass of Coke on ice back in my room after the show. It's very relaxing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
