Honey's Gal Posted February 15, 2008 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Yes, you can get Iced tea in the Windjammer every day...with or without lemon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcur Posted February 15, 2008 #3 Share Posted February 15, 2008 The iced tea is pretty strong, too. We have to ask for it half strength in the dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanofFlorida Posted February 15, 2008 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2008 So happy to read this! Lemonaide is included as well, isnt it? IMO- as inexpensive as soda is, I am amazed they charge so much for a drink card. Not that it matters since I rarely drink it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcur Posted February 15, 2008 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Yes, but soft drinks are a worldwide "price leader". HUGE profit maker. Yes, there is lemonade, too, and it's good mixed with the iced tea!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39august Posted February 15, 2008 #7 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Lemonade, hot chocolate, hot tea, and fruit juice at breakfast are all included. Sometimes there is also some sort of fruit punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted February 15, 2008 #8 Share Posted February 15, 2008 We had some kind of "fruit punch" on Brilliance--it was alot better than the tea! I don't remember it on previous cruises, tho (I think I stuck to beer then!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyPiePie Posted February 15, 2008 #9 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Sorry to hijack. But is milk and chocolate milk included too? I hope it is. I hate to think I will have to pay at every meal for 3 kids :( . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montekat Posted February 15, 2008 #12 Share Posted February 15, 2008 We have been disappointed that when the Windjammer is closed, you can't get any tea, juice, etc. from there. We take large insulated mugs and fill up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denhur Posted February 15, 2008 #13 Share Posted February 15, 2008 on radiance there were large signs to prohibit (re)filling of large containers under the juice machine due to danger of spreading bacteria/viruses (large containers often touch the juice-nozzle during refilling). you have to use the designated cups and take a new one each time. better safe than sorry....

Jungle Jane Posted February 15, 2008 #14 Share Posted February 15, 2008 We thought the iced tea was gross, even watered down and splenda'd up we found it undrinkable but saw many others enjoying it so much be just us. The lemonade was great, was obviously from a mix but with a couple of lemon wedges added it was great. The iced water was fine, tasted way better than what came out of the tap in our room. (I'm the one who found the tap water undrinkable in another thread.) The milk and choc milk was great, the oj at breakfast was wonderful and on the Labadee day we had punch which tasted like koolaid that was waaaaaaaaay watered down-yuck. We also brought large insulated mugs so we could get our drinks to go but we took cups from the tray and emptied them into our mugs, rather than taking from any machine. We didn't do the soda package since we rarely drink it at home anyway. We stuck with the above beverages all week, plus a few special cocktails and mocktails here and there :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted February 15, 2008 #15 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I find the iced tea to not be good as it is an instant type tea.:eek::) The fruit punch and lemonade is good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrp96 Posted February 15, 2008 #16 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Gordon, that's why I like that they provide tea bags, so I can just brew my own iced tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell Ringer Posted February 16, 2008 #18 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Hot water, tea bag of your choice in a mug, and a big glass of ice will do the job easily. The next cruise, I am going to bring a small tray, so I can take more than one back to the cabin. I am another one who lives for my iced tea!

The next cruise, I am going to bring a small tray, so I can take more than one back to the cabin. I am another one who lives for my iced tea! Oh, YEAH!! I've done that a bunch of times, too. Mixed orange and lemon tea, or maybe peppermint. Very good. Lots of tea choices, and a little extra effort and you can have lemonade iced tea, punch iced tea, any-flavor-you-want iced tea!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, very true. That is why we get a couple of glasses from the dispenser, fill them up and then pour into our mugs. No problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubrrick Posted February 16, 2008 #21 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I live on iced tea......here at home and on cruises. I bring my own tea bags, and get a pitcher of hot water in the morning.........actually, now that RCCL has French brewed coffee in suites......I can make my own tea, and keep it in a pitcher, and enjoy it in the morning, and in the afternoon. So far, I have not been caught keeping the pitcher that room service sent down on day 2, (that I keep until the end of the cruise).........and I have cleaned it out so that there is no smell of coffee....and the only thing that I request from room service early in the morning............is a bucket of ice!!:D Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
