snorkle lover Posted April 2 #1 Share Posted April 2 Any suggestions as to how we would go about getting a couple of six packs of diet caffeine free coke in our suite. We sail in a couple of weeks. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pcardad Posted April 2 #2 Share Posted April 2 They should stock it - ask the Cabin Stewardess when you get on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonedaddy Posted April 3 #3 Share Posted April 3 Can also pre request it by emailing regent as some provisioning ports may not have it readily available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kjbacon Posted April 3 #4 Share Posted April 3 Your travel agent should be able to arrange that for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieQft Posted April 6 #5 Share Posted April 6 Good luck. You can probably get some sort of sugar free Coke. Diet Coke is very iffy, if that distinction matters, depending on where in the world you are. In my experience, getting it caffeine free is extremely difficult, even when requested in advance.

Rare welshfamily Posted April 6 #6 Share Posted April 6 Similar situation. Last year We asked for Pepsi Max. It’s available in most parts of the world because I have bought it. We received Pepsi regular. Only other similar drink on board was Diet Coke. We bought our own at first port and were able to buy it at most ports. Daughter really prefers Pepsi Max but managed with some Diet Coke. However Diet Coke is very popular on regent and it became hard to get hold of. Having another go this year. Regent Uk have written Pepsi Max (sugar free) this time. It seems Miami do the ordering. I am busy researching Barcelona cash and carry to see if I can bulk buy a case. Anyone know how if it’s possible for the ship to receive an Amazon delivery 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have shipped things to guests on board before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ysolde Posted April 8 #10 Share Posted April 8 We put in a request for Diet Coke before each cruise. It is not in our mini fridge when we get there, but then we remind our cabin steward/ess, and the fridge is stocked and re-stocked regularly. We don't drink alcohol (DH will have wine and/or champagne with a special meal; it is contraindicated with some of the medications I take), but we appreciate having water and Diet Coke in our cabin and available at meals, as well as tea/coffee at breakfast and after meals, so we appreciate Regent's attention to detail in having our favorite soda available when we request it. I did notice Caffeine-Free Diet Coke regularly poolside during this last cruise, so it was available (either someone pre-ordered it or it was readily available). IME, your best bet is to make the request ahead of time via e-mail. They do seem to honor these requests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covepointcruiser Posted April 8 #11 Share Posted April 8 We are on Splendor right now and we have caffeine free Diet Coke in our refrigerator. We requested it before the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorkle lover Posted April 8 Author #12 Share Posted April 8 Thank you all so much for the suggestions. I just sent an email to the address you mentioned Lew so hopefully we will get the request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back Roader Posted April 9 #13 Share Posted April 9 We were on the Grandeur on a Miami to Miami cruise and were in a Penthouse suite. Caffeine-Free Diet Coke was on the order form that we used before boarding and it was waiting for us in the fridge. It was also available poolside so I don't think you should have a problem. Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFr Posted April 10 #14 Share Posted April 10 We just got on the Grandeur today. There was diet caffeine free Coke in our suite. We did not order it pre-cruise but have ordered it in the past. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current cruise is in a Concierge suite. We also get a bottle of Grand Mariner each cruise without requesting it regardless of suite category.

SusieQft Posted April 10 #17 Share Posted April 10 (edited) Sounds great. I sure would like to figure out how to make this happen for us. We have 130 nights with Regent and it is still a major struggle to get our beverages of choice. Edited April 10 by SusieQft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam Posted April 12 #18 Share Posted April 12 It has been a while, but I was able to get Coke Zero onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFLAOK Posted April 14 #19 Share Posted April 14 It really matters where your cruise is. I had no trouble getting Coke Zero on our Caribbean cruise out of Miami last April. It was in the fridge when we boarded, replaced when I drank it. On our current cruise, on the same ship, I have 3 types of sugar free Coca Cola. One was made in Austrailia and is called Coca Cola Diet, and indicates on the can that it contains caffeine. It's in a short fat can. The other 2 are in tall slim cans. One says Coca Cola light on the front and Coke light on the back. It was made in Malaysia and distributed in Singapore. It has 0 for "energy" which I assume are calories. There are ingredients listed in both Engligh and another language, and there's no caffeine added, but it doesn't say there's no caffeine. The third can has nothing but Thai writing except "Coca Cola" on the front with a short word in Thai letters under it, and on the back it has the trademarked Coke light. I assume it came from Thailand where we started this cruise. They all taste the same to me. I usually have one in the afternoon, and skip the late afternoon coffee or tea that I might have had otherwise, if the Coke was caffeine free.

My wife likes CFDC and we’ve requested it every time not expecting much, but it’s always been in our fridge. There’s a particular Rum she enjoys and they went out of their way (not usually stocked in their bars) to get her a bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonedaddy Posted April 21 #21 Share Posted April 21 they are pretty good about getting requests. DW likes her Red Bull and they have delivered every time at least regular or sugar-free. But haven't been able to get the peach or blueberry ones very often. If we see some at port we pick them up occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
