They are loaded onto your account instead of a paper coffee card which you could save if you didn't use all 15 drinks. You seem to be suggesting you can trade mini bar in for the zero alcohol package. That isn't true unless something has changed recently.

Abercrombie2019 Posted October 30, 2023 #29 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Discovery Princess (Oct. 2022) and Regal Princess (July 2023) both had Coke Light in tall slim cans. We prefer Diet Coke, but have found that the taste is different depending on where you are in the world. After a few drinks our taste buds adapt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsufancc Posted October 30, 2023 #30 Share Posted October 30, 2023 We were on a Carnival cruise (I assume that Coke has the distribution contract on all CCL ship brands) and the bars had Sprite Zero. They had Coke Zero too, but Mrs Fan tries to stay away from caffeine and calories, so it was a good option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't planning to stop at the store on the way to the port, but I might have to. I hope Sky in December has coke zero. I might be mad if they don't.

Specialty coffee is included free only with the plus, premier, or zero alcohol packages. See the T&C’s (one link is attached) that state “cannot be used for minibar items”. The stand alone coffee package with 15 coffees that previously could be a mini bar trade has been discontinued as stated in previous posts. https://www.princess.com/html/global/personalizer/ssv/beverages/zero-alcohol-package-disclaimer/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boarded the Grand Princess on 26 Sept. and couldn’t get them to add just 15 specialty coffees to his Medallion - only received OBC in the amount I paid back in December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sail on one of the newer ships in the fleet and they should have Coke Zero. 14 days on the Discovery and another 14 on the Majestic, all the Coke Zero my DH and I wanted. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been pre Covid since Pepsi products have been on Carnival since just before the shutdown. They have Pepsi and Starry Zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They stopped trading out mini bar setup for coffee packages back in the spring. Trust me, I've complained about it because it was a huge benefit cut to elite's who enjoyed the trade. If that is what you mean, it has nothing to do with packages of any kind, it's just the coffee in the buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people use that for "Dear Husband" or DW for "Dear Wife". Also DD for Daughter and DS for son. I guess it's just a way to abbreviate the person you are referring to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on Carnival Glory for the October 1st sailing out of New Orleans, and it was all Pepsi products.

Cruise Critic short cut for Dear Husband. Also, DW, DD, DS, and any other combination for a family member. There are also lots of other short cuts used in CC postings. Can google to see meanings of others. I have seen these various short cuts used on Cruise Critic since I joined back in 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always do as we drink the caffeine free DC as Coke Zero is impossible to find even here in Florida. The official name is now Coca Cola Zero Sugar. Buy all you want at Sams, Costco, Bjs, Walmart, etc. We will carry 2 12 packs with us onto the Sky in December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj59 Posted November 1, 2023 #50 Share Posted November 1, 2023 On my last two Princess cruises I asked my water/Coke to be switched out for Coke Zero, but they only had Diet Coke. They did have Sprite Zero, though. Another approach, which I do, is to buy a 2L bottle at the first port of call in a convenience store, usually in Cabo---'sin azucar'.
