JAKUEHNLE Posted May 13, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Does Marina have caffine free diet anything.:confused: Sprite Zero (diet sprite); caffine free Diet Coke Pepis: Diet Siera Mist, caffine free Diet Pepsi (although that's the last choice) Diet Rite (most of their stuff is caffine free) (Tangerine preferred) Diet 7-up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeene Posted May 14, 2012 #2 Share Posted May 14, 2012 If I remember correctly I drank both diet sprite and diet canadian dry ginger ale (also caffeine free) on Marina Our cabin steward and butler seemed to find what we asked for on-board. I always drink sugar and caffeine free soda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my drink of choice, except for a shot of the caffeinated diet coke in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondorner Posted May 15, 2012 #6 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I drink caffeine free diet colas at home, but have never tried on the ship. You can probably arrange caffeine-free for your stateroom, as Luann said, but it will generally not be available in the rest of the ship, such as at meals and in bars or at the showroom lounge. I drink more than my share of Diet whatever (prefer Diet Pepsi, can handle Diet Coke, and often drink Diet Sam's Cola when I'm feeling thrifty), so I just accept the loack of caffieine-free throughout the ship. The products that are available everywhere are Coke products. I've heard I can get Diet Pepsi for the fridge in the cabin, but once I get my tongue around the Diet Coke, I'd just as soon stick with it. Probably only other Cola addicts will understand this conversarion :rolleyes:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azevedan Posted May 15, 2012 #7 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Probably only other Cola addicts will understand this conversarion :rolleyes:. :D:D yep - count me one. Do not care for diet pepsi! I can even taste the difference between caffeine diet coke, and caffeine-free. And don't get me started on Coke Zero. But - I had to drastically cut back on my diet coke with caffeine - it was the cause of my morning migraines from overnight caffeine withdrawal. :eek: I should, and try to, drink water when I can. But I still crave that diet coke taste, especially with certain foods, or as a refresher. So getting some caffeine free is definitely something I'll look into. Thanks!

LuAnn Posted May 16, 2012 #8 Share Posted May 16, 2012 you will have a problem getting them in your room...I've done it twice...if you want a mixed drink with a Coke...you could probably take the Coke to the bar and ask them to mix it with rum or whatever!! And I bet you could take it from your room to dinner as well!! Go for it!! I don't think anyone on the O staff will say no!!...they are that great!!

doubledobles Posted May 17, 2012 #9 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I would like caffeine free and sugar free! Can't find it in europe, only in the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azevedan Posted May 17, 2012 #10 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I would like caffeine free and sugar free! Can't find it in europe, only in the states. It's getting harder in the states. I travel a lot for work and try to hit a grocery store to get my week's supply. Getting harder to find, especially in convenience stores. Coke Zero seems to have supplanted caffeine-free diet coke's shelf space. I make it a point to ask, for what little good that probably does. On the plus side, many of the vending machines in Atlanta's airport now carry it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azam71209 Posted May 17, 2012 #11 Share Posted May 17, 2012 My husband is a diet caffeine free coke addict. I sent an email to the TA yesterday requesting it in our cabin frig. Felt a bit silly doing it but he immediately got back to me. No problem. It will be in our cabin. Good idea to just take a can to lunch or dinner if it is not readily available throughout the ship.

In February we did B2B on Marina and our TA called ahead and we had Caffeine free diet coke in our cabin. I took it with me whenever I wanted it for lunch etc and it was replaced in the cabin with no problem. I have done the same with bottled water that has a high sodium count, as some bottled water has a lot of sodium in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why, but they just seem not to. Out of fairness, I didn't ask at dinner because I don't drink it then, just at lunch, but my guess is it's not an item a lot of people want. Plus I think that soft drinks at the dining facilitites and bars may come out of machines and not cans and that might be a reason. At any rate, as long as they provide it in the cabin I have no problem grabbing one for lunch. Water - they are happy to bring whatever one wants. Thanks for suggestion, though.

chocchic Posted May 20, 2012 #19 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I requested diet sprite (or any white caffeine free) from the cabin staff. They said they would check to see that usually they are provided as a special request. About 1/2 dozen cans arrived 5 minutes later. I took it from the cabin steward that the appropriate plan would be to request it before you get on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammyboots Posted May 25, 2012 #23 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Hi LuAnn :), liked the advice about pre ordering I will try that next time we're on the Marina in January! I managed to get the room steward to bring me some diet/caffeine free canada dry ginger ale, on the trip we did in March with you...however, I also had a problem getting this in the dining rooms or bars on the ship. At the Martini bar, I requested it several nights running, each time hoping that they'd have it there when it had been previously requested but the answer was always no....:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledobles Posted May 25, 2012 #24 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I ordered caffeine free/sugar free for our next cruise in June (Lisbon to Rome). Last time I asked for this on an european venue, I was told that it was unavailable in europe and can only be supplied in the states. We'll see what happens this time.

Those cans may not be that quickly available to a staff person in a bar or restaurant... So...right now...if you want it...pre order it and bring it with you to venues outside your cabin....it is what it is!! ...as I said ...please understand this is based on OUR experiences...not yours...as you don't drink "the stuff"! :rolleyes: LuAnn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
