grmmybtty Posted June 9, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2012 We will be on our first Oceania Cruise on the Marina this November. This board has been a great source of information. I have searched, but am unable to find any mention of what type of sugar substitutes are available in Baristas or Terrace Cafe. Can anyone help?

hondorner Posted June 10, 2012 #3 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Pink, yellow, blue and Truvia are available almost everywhere. I don't drink coffee so I forget what the pink, yellow and blue brands are, but I know they're all there because I searched each sugar container for the Truvia for Betsy. The only place that did not have Truvia at first was Martinis Bar, where Betsy often ordered specialty coffee (the alcoholic kind) and wanted sweetener. That was quickly rectified and Truvia was available there the rest of the cruise. There's also raw sugar in addition to white, but you asked about substitutes.

Benita Posted June 10, 2012 #4 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Don, pink is Sweet and Low, blue is Equal, and yellow is Splenda. Having grown up on Sweet and Low, I have gotten used to it-also it dissolves better than the others in iced tea. I have never heard of Truvia- guess I will have to try it on my next cruise. Some people know their wines, I know my artifical sweeteners - although I never hear the debates about these like I do about Coke vs Pepsi.

pacheco18 Posted June 10, 2012 #5 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Just off Nautica They have blue, yellow, pink and my favorite -- Truvia. I was delighted and surprised to find Truvia on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grmmybtty Posted June 10, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Thank you all. This saves me from packing packets of Splenda or Equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truvia is natural sweetener made from the stevia plant by steeping the leaves into an extract. Betsy has stevia growing in a container on our pool deck, and puts leaf into boiling water for tea -- sweetens it nicely. No chemicals, no calories, no controversey. Actually sweeter than sugar.

traveler916 Posted June 25, 2012 #8 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Thank you all. This saves me from packing packets of Splenda or Equal. And for the record, it is REAL Equal and Splenda and Sweet N Low...not the fake imitation stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
