taszmom Posted September 21, 2004 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Free or chargeable item like soda? My dd likes lemonade...wondering if we should get a soda card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted September 21, 2004 #2 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Lemonade is complimentary but is not available all day. They pass it around mid morning ......Iced tea is available most of the time in Lido. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esme Posted September 21, 2004 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I don't think Lemonade is included in the Soda cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted September 21, 2004 #4 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Lemonade is not included in the soda cards. Lemonade is not available all day. Lemonade is served around 10:30 AM on the open decks - promenade, both pools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches from georgia Posted September 21, 2004 #5 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I have to warn you that if you are counting on lemonade you are going to have to ask a crew member or bartender about where and when to find it. We have never seen it being served and have never seen a pax drinking lemonade. We knew when to look for it, we are always in the pool areas in the morning on sea days and still never have seen lemonade. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted September 21, 2004 #6 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Any time we were around the pool area at 10:30, someone was always walking around offering the lemonade - and we have been on quite a few different HAL ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches from georgia Posted September 21, 2004 #7 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I'm not saying that lemonade is not served. I am saying that it must not always be readily apparent, so anybody new to HAL and wanting lemonade should know they may have to make an effort not to miss it. We are in the pool area on sea days and on the three HAL ships/4 cruises we have been on we have never been aware of lemonade being offered because if we had seen it we would have had some.

stillfrantic Posted September 21, 2004 #8 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I can't believe they don't have complementary lemonade available any time someone wants a drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches from georgia Posted September 21, 2004 #9 Share Posted September 21, 2004 That I can assure you they do NOT have, stillfrantic, at least not on the Oosterdam, Maasdam, or Rotterdam. We had originally hoped it would be available in the Lido at lunch- seems like a no brainer to have a lemonade next to the ice tea, especially in the Caribbean. Disappointing. And I know for sure it is not being offered around the pools for any length of time or we would not have missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocngypz Posted September 21, 2004 #10 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Hang around the aft pool. I've never missed it there. You can also make your own lemonade.....one glass, water, ice, several slices of lemon and sweetner. It's easy enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREAT idea.....if we want some during a time period when it is not offered ready mixed, I'll be making some for us. Now that they have splenda readily available, it'll be great and calorie free!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just offering my opinion that I think it is appalling that they don't offer it as a complementary drink around the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted September 22, 2004 #16 Share Posted September 22, 2004 There were big bowls of splenda in Lido on Maasdam and Rotterdam this past spring and summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what we did, we even like brewed ice tea so I made a hot cup of tea, poured it over ice, added lemon and tada :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandis Posted September 22, 2004 #18 Share Posted September 22, 2004 How about during dinner in the dining room? Can I get lemonade there if I ask my waiter or busboy? Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandis Posted September 22, 2004 #20 Share Posted September 22, 2004 On RCL's Brilliance of the Seas, when I asked for lemonade the first night at dinner. I was told that it was not available in the dining room but that they had it in the Lido buffet. The bus boy assured me that he would make sure to have some for me the next evening. For the remainder of the cruise, a glass of lemonade was waiting for me on the table when we entered the dining room and I could always get a refill. Of course, the busboy had earned himself an additional tip! Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searanger Posted September 22, 2004 #21 Share Posted September 22, 2004 On the Zuiderdam.....You could get lemonade at lunch in the Lido. (No Charge) However, it was a charge item in the dinning room. ($2.01 glass) The Bar Stewart was the only person permitted to get this for you.

user8 Posted September 22, 2004 #22 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I like lemonade so we carry Crystal Light along with a 2 quart mixing container in our checked suitcase. We buy the six-pack tube which contains six packets each of which will make 2 quarts of lemonade. This makes it possible for us to enjoy lemonade anytime we want it and it is much more convenient than trying to carry cokes. The only time I have seen lemonade furnished by HAL has been on-shore at the tender docks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter likes the Crystal Light Lemonade and those little tubs are real easy to pack. In fact, I don't think she would like a "real" lemonade if mommy squeezed her some lemons in a glass and added sugar....kids. On previous cruises, we would ask for lemonade at the various bars, and we got the lemon lime mixes they use for drinks...she didn't like it.
