Soda

[kdpatte]

Does anyone have a list of sodas offered on board?  Does anyone know if they have diet 7up or diet sprite?  If not are you allowed to bring a 12 pack with?

Unfortunately, for the past several years, one is not allowed to bring other beverages on board.  However, bottled wine, with corkage fee, is allowed.

 

We really miss not being able to bring on board favorites that aren't otherwise available.

(On some other lines, one can make a request, with sufficient advance warning, and they'll usually have what one requested on board, assuming it is available nearby, depending upon the departure port, etc.  That was very nice.)

They have diet sierra mist.  Hit or miss, not at all bars.  In can only.

yes, NCL has a contract with pepsi, so you get most pepsi products on board.  that generally means no sprite or diet sprite.

 

they are supposed to have diet sierra mist (in cans), which they usually decant into a glass. some bartenders will give you a can or two to walk away, some will not. some will pour it into a glass and give you the can with the extra soda in it to top off your drink. (more common if you're sitting at the bar.)

 

on the breakaway in december of 2021, several bars (including the atrium and o'sheehan's) were serving diet 7-up (in cans).

Pepsi makes Sierra Mist in North America, and makes 7-up elsewhere.  So depending on where the ship stocked up you could get either.  In general, cruised out of the United States have Sierra Mist Zero.

i wonder why they dont just charge a corkage fee for coke. it's a money maker and i guarantee revenue from it

The contract with Pepsi would probably have verbiage to prevent the sale of other products.

They had diet 7 up on the Joy in November. We were in the Haven and I asked them to keep it stocked in the bar. When you find the bars you will frequent ask them to keep it stocked.

FWIW where I live it's called "Pop" NOT "Soda" (kidding) 😄

the lines there are soooo true. i was in western PA once (vs normally east) and in a supermarket and on the aisle directory was pop. i wondered why my dad was in a supermarket there. very strange.

But would you spend a $15 corkage fee for a 2 buck liter bottle of Coke ?

Observe a degree of abstinence for the cruise duration or search out that oasis of Coke

while on a port call. NCL is not going to enable you when they have an agreement with Pepsi.

Damn and I thought things go better with Coke !

NCL instituted rules several years ago to disallow passengers bringing their own beverages on board.  If you try to bring a case of Coke onto the ship, it will be confiscated.
