Sotermarler Posted March 10, 2018 #301 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Have tried it at a Freestyle Machine in the ginger lime version. Pretty good, but the canned version only comes in 8 packs instead of 12 and is more expensive than the 12 packs. I know, I won’t be buying less cans for more money any time soon.

ClevelandCruisin Posted March 10, 2018 #302 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I've found that putting rum in my drink will make any worries go away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonniboo1 Posted March 11, 2018 #304 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I too am a Coke Zero drinker but it’s ot a big deal for me. I love diet ginger beer so off to Bermuda I go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elruth Posted March 11, 2018 #306 Share Posted March 11, 2018 When you go to the waiting area before you actually board the ship they have a machine where you can buy soft drinks in bottles. You have to pay cash...usual dispensing type machine. Buy a few bottles there and just put them into your carry on and board the ship with them. That would help you until you can perhaps buy a coke when you are in a town or on an excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had lots of $1 bills with me to do this on our last NCL cruise, March of 2017 and FYI that machine was out of Diet Coke. Just saying I wouldn't count on this.

If you had gotten there earlier, then other Diet Coke drinkers would not have cleaned out the machine of your nectar. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are doing another NCL cruise next January, and my son 22 wants to get to port early as he is hoping to get a Vibe pass, so maybe I'll be able to buy some Diet Coke with this deal too. I would have never guessed there are so many reasons to get to port early to stand in line. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted March 15, 2018 #314 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Have to admit ... No Coke products on NCL does make it less likely we'd pick NCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Econom405 Posted March 15, 2018 #315 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I can drink Pepsi on the ship for a week or two, with my Coke fix in the ports. I look at it like this, it could be much, much worse...it could be RC! We have season tickets for hockey, and the only thing the arena serves is RC products, luckily there is Dr. Pepper. Talk about first world problems! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhorv67 Posted March 18, 2018 #317 Share Posted March 18, 2018 If you're going to allow NCLs choice of beverage vendor to affect your vacation choice, maybe it's time to reevaluate your diet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forgotmyCCname Posted March 18, 2018 #319 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Because they aren't Pepsi products. NCL's contract is with Pepsi. My son has always been able to get root beer on NCl ships.

Sotermarler Posted March 21, 2018 #320 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Know exactly what you're talking about, but all you need to do is buy Pepsi Zero Sugar, it's unfortunately not available on NCL, but you can buy it or Coke Zero Sugar at the grocery store. They are both so much better than Diet Coke, IMHO. SNJCruisers, thank you so much for this tip! I can now love Pepsi products once again. The only issue is it’s hard to find but at least I don’t have to hate them any more. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElaineKeagy Posted March 22, 2018 #321 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I treated my last NCL cruise as rehab. I used to drink 2-3 liters of Diet Coke every day. Can’t stand Pepsi. NCL forced me to go cold turkey for 10 days on my last cruise. When I got home realized I was over the worst of it. I’ve been Diet Coke sober for 2 years 1 month and 3 days now.
