Does NCL sell Ginger Ale?

[Prinycesa07]

Just found out that I'm pregnant with baby #3 last week & we are sailing next week. Nausea has already started coming & going. Ginger ale was all that helped with baby #1. Would rather not bring my own but will if they don't have any on ship. Thanks.

Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Sierra Mist, Mt. Dew, Ginger Ale, Tonic water, Club Soda

As previous poster said, yes, they do....AND...Congratulations!!! What a wonderful and exciting thing to be able to celebrate on your cruise! Enjoy! :)

[BritChickBN1]

Yes, it's from the fountain from my experience. Idk if that makes a difference for you. It helped with my bad tummy on our last cruise. :)

[bguppies]

Yes.

 

Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Sierra Mist, Mt. Dew, Ginger Ale, Tonic water, Club Soda

 

On the Dawn we had Ginger Ale, Tonic Water and Club Soda all by Canada Dry

Thank you!

 

Would rather can so I can let it get flat but fountain will do :)

Thank you!

They have cans if you ask, or you can order them from room service, congrats!

Yup. From the room service menu:

Congratulations! Yes, ginger ale at any of the bars, it's fountain if you're using the soda card. If not, you can buy the cans from most bars. THey won't give you the can with the soda card unfortunately.

 

Have you tried the candied ginger? You could carry that with you and have it in case it strikes at an inconvenient time.

[Prinycesa07]

Nope, no soda card. I gave up soda years ago but will have to take it up again for the next couple months LOL!

 

Ginger candies are a great idea! I hope I can find some in the next few days!

 

And thank you :) We're excited. And nervous. Hehe.

If you have a bulk food store near you they will have them. I was in shopping one day, a lady came running in, grabbed them, didn't even close the bag, threw them at the clerk, yelled the code to weigh them and then stuffed one in her mouth. Having BTDT, I couldn't laugh, just gave her my sympathy.

[BLONDE BOMBER]

If you have a whole foods, or fresh market store they have gin gin candies and they are amazing

[Sauer-kraut]

If you need a lot of ginger, some of the bars carry ginger beer, it costs more than the regular soda but it is truly a ginger drink. Its non-alcoholic.

[Prinycesa07]

Ginger beer- never heard of it! Thank you, I love these tips!

 

No whole foods or fresh market. Maybe trader joes? Will check there tomorrow.

 

Soaring- LOL poor lady! Morning sickness is no joke! I use to think people we're exaggerating until I actually got it. Barf!!!!

Congrats

 

I would recommend bringing your own 12 pack of ginger ale for a few reasons.

 

1. No one should pay $2+ for a can of soda or a fountain drink of soda.

2. You really wouldn't want to have to wait for room service or have to run out of the room to get one if the feeling strikes.

3. You really don't have to carrry it on, slap a baggage tag on it and they'll bring it to your room with your bags.

 

We normally swing by a local store and pick up a 12 pack regardless if it's $4.99 since I know it's still way cheaper than on board. Plus fountain doesn't have the same strength as from a bottle or can.

I thought that ginger beer did contain alcohol, so I looked it up. It does. But it's very minor. In any event, I thought the information in this short article was sort of interesting.

I tried, unsuccessfully, to get diet ginger ale on the Jade in January 2014. They only had regular, but I was able to get cans.

 

Congratulations to the OP!

I don't have an issue with motion sickness however my DW does. She uses these supplement's called Ginger Trips. I've attached below.

Green apples are supposed to help also.

 

Congrats on the baby!

Congratulations.

 

Was on the BA a couple weeks ago and the ginger ale was Schwepps as I recall it being on several prior cruises on other NCL ships (at least what they had in cans). I took a picture because someone else asked about it a couple months ago.

 

That brand doesn't contain any ginger as an FYI so maybe the candies would be better option.
