NLH Arizona Posted March 5, 2015 #51 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I also drink diet Coke, but I would guess that we are stuck with Pepsi unless Coke comes with a better contract rate for them. They are not going to switch brands, if it will cost more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzn Bills Fan Posted March 5, 2015 #52 Share Posted March 5, 2015 PLEASE - We don't sail with anyone else. We are big NCL cheerleaders. BUT---the one BIG change that would be SOOOO welcome would be (since there are so many new people in charge of NCL) get rid of the Pepsi products and go back to Coca-Cola!!! PLEASE!!!! I'm sure this is on the top of their list of things to do. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weltek Posted March 5, 2015 #53 Share Posted March 5, 2015 A good article on why Pepsi wins so many contracts. http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2013/12/16/buffalo-wild-wings-ditches-coke-for-pepsi-does-it.aspx Not likely we'll see a switch. Coke is such a better alcohol mixer than Pepsi. That's my biggest beef. I don't really care that much otherwise, though I'm Diet Coke/Coke Zero loyal at home.

arb3 Posted March 5, 2015 #54 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I also prefer coke, but if you mix in enough jack or rum you can't really tell the difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea saw 56 Posted March 5, 2015 Author #55 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I really wasn't going to chime back in here after reading some of the replies my post stirred up, however g35girl and chrisc71 hit it on the head. They call our favorite cocktails rum & coke, Jack and coke, and crown & coke for a reason. Luddite - no "seriously" - we do not just drink too much "pop" (how judgemental is that?), our cocktails of choice have a coca-cola (diet coke actually) product mixed into them. I Agree with the statement "who ever heard of rum & Pepsi?"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwistyred Posted March 5, 2015 #56 Share Posted March 5, 2015 In case some one from management actually reads this, we have to make a plea for Coke. Husband will not drink Pepsi and makes us drag Coke onto the ship. Yes, I know he drinks too much of this stuff, but that is not the point of this comment. We have the drink package on the next cruise and I would hate to still have to cart this stuff to the ship when we could possibly get it onboard. Just my one and a half cents.

ray8905 Posted March 5, 2015 #58 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I can deal with either product but I would like to see Diet Mtn Dew available. Not a big deal we can bring our own but it would be nice to have it available none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LrgPizza Posted March 5, 2015 #61 Share Posted March 5, 2015 The only pop I drink is Diet Mountain Dew, and they don't have that on the ships anyway, so it doesn't matter to me. I drank entirely alcohol with an occasional glass of water on my past 2 cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luddite Posted March 5, 2015 #67 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Don't forget, in some parts of the south, a coke is any sweet carbonated beverage. In Mississippi, it was just a root beer. Back when Barq's was local and made with sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luddite Posted March 5, 2015 #68 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Nothing better than a nice cold pepsi Nope. A Belgian ale. Coffee stout. Fuller's porter. Abita amber.

Rare Laszlo Posted March 5, 2015 #69 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) I'm a big Coke fan, with that said I only like and drink Coke made cane sugar.

On the flip side, personally I don't mind cold Pepsi with Malibu Rum and eating something fried & spicy while drinking it - Now that is hard to beat...

GUT2407 Posted March 5, 2015 #73 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I noticed my Coke was made with sugar not Corn syrup on my last cruise to the Bahamas! While I get the cane sugar v corn syrup, what I find really strange is the USA Diet Coke tastes way different to Diet Coke as sold in Australia, you would think they'd be pretty much the same, but can spot it straight away.
