pholter Posted July 6, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Hi there...... I'll be on the Destiny in October visiting Aruba, Barbados, and Dominica. Has anyone had any luck finding Dr.Pepper products in these port cities? I'm assuming I'll be able to get it at embarkation in San Juan, but not enough to keep me happy for a week. I know it's difficult to find anything but CocaCola in Jamaica, so I thought I might be out of luck on these 3 islands as well. I sure hope not!! I've emailed Dr.Pepper, but they are on Holiday, so I may not hear back from them anytime soon. Thanks everyone :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinfirst Posted July 6, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I'm a Diet Dr Pepper addict. Hopefully folks in the Southern Caribbean like it too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pholter Posted July 6, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Please, I'm desperate! Has anyone seen DP?? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadPirateRobert Posted July 6, 2004 #4 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I don't remember seeing it anywhere in the southern route. Truthfully I don't remember seeing it in San Juan either. It is a fairly regional drink. I'd think hard about bringing my own. BTW,have you ever tried the DP made in Dublin, TX ? It is the only DP still made the original way, with cane sugar instead of corn syrup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pholter Posted July 6, 2004 Author #5 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Oh noooooooo! Say it isn't so!!! I guess it's best to be prepared rather than finding out once I'm there that I may be SOL :( I haven't tried real DP, unless that's what was around when I was a kid- used to taste alot like prunes when I was growing up for some reason- hmmmmmm. I'll let y'all know if and when DP actually emails me back, too. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomD Posted July 6, 2004 #6 Share Posted July 6, 2004 My family just got off the 6/27/04 Conquest. My son and I never saw our Dr. Pepper until we were back in New Orleans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fljournalist Posted July 6, 2004 #7 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I was on the Fantasy 6/27 and they had Mr. Pibb (I was thrilled). But I was told it wasn't popular and probably wasn't going to be re-ordered. Perhaps you might be better off taking your own Dr. Pepper on board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pholter Posted July 9, 2004 Author #8 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Well, some of us may be in luck for Dr. Pepper :) Coca Cola actually distributes Dr. Pepper in Puerto Rico and possibly Barbados!!! I'm waiting for a call back right now as to where I can purchase it while visiting the islands... I'll keep everyone posted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pholter Posted July 28, 2004 Author #9 Share Posted July 28, 2004 For those that love Dr. Pepper- there is hope in San Juan!!! I have just spoken with a really nice lady at the Coca Cola plant. They get a Dr. Pepper shipment once a month from the US. You can buy it at Pier 10 Cruise Terminal, the Military Base, Pueblo Intertnational Supermarkets, and both hotels I'm staying at :) She actually told me that she would have some at the hotel for us when we arrived should the shipments be all gone due to timing, etc. What a great lady!!!

redneck_dan Posted July 28, 2004 #10 Share Posted July 28, 2004 The best thing to happen to Dr. Pepper was when Cadbury purchased them. Now, you can get Dr. Pepper in England. My wife’s best friend lived in Paris (France, that is. Not Paris, TX) in the mid 90’s. She is also a Dr. Pepper junky. She was able to tell me where to find Dr. Pepper in Paris. When we went to London in 2003, Dr. Pepper was everywhere. Dan (Drinking a Dr. Pepper right now at 9:30 AM) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellaa Posted July 28, 2004 #12 Share Posted July 28, 2004 The had Mr Pibb on the Sensation 7/19 and I got an ice cold can of DP at the port in Grand Caymans. It was $1.00, but I would have paid a whole lot more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judithdh1 Posted July 28, 2004 #13 Share Posted July 28, 2004 while in San Juan in March I went to the grocery store and bought a case of Dr. Pepper and went right back on the ship. I was not so sure it would be enough for 7 days but it was. Judi Hensley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
