Tonic Water

[bozza]

Can someone tell me if they have diet tonic water on Explorer of the Seas?

 

We love our G & T's before dinner, so if they don't have tonic, can we bring our own on board?

I think they do have "diet" tonic--but really--what's the point! All those calories in the gin..might as well have a real tonic!

(It's like ordering a double quarter pounder with a diet coke--laughable!)

Not laughable at all to a diabetic who wants to have a coke:rolleyes:

Never mind the calories - gin + diet tonic = zero carbs.

As the "king" of diet tonic, I know they don't carry it on board!

 

What I usually do is call Schweppes and find who their bottler (sp) is in the embarcation city. I contact them and arrange to have a case delivered to my hotel or to a distributor (Walgreens, grocery store or whoever) where I can pick it up, attach a luggage tag and give it to a porter for delivery to my room. :)

Thanks Biomedbob, we'll get a dozen or so bottles when in NY and take them with us.

 

As for the remark about diet versus 'normal' tonic, why drink more calories than you need and we do prefer the taste!!

count me in as a gin & diet tonic fan :) and I know one person I won't be sharing with :rolleyes:
