Rare AtSeaWithChris Posted February 12, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I heard from someone that Virgin uses Coke products made with cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. Does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon81uk Posted February 12, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 12, 2023 At a guess it depends, from Miami I expect it’s the standard American high fructose corn syrup. From Barcelona it might be a mixture of American Coke and Spanish Coke from sugar. I think when we did the transatlantic some of the cans were Spanish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we didn’t use HFCS here though. It seems other countries have better food than us in some cases. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cantgetin Posted February 12, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 12, 2023 In my experience, Miami departures have US Coke products, Barcelona departure seemed to have US in the fountain serve dispensers and European in the cans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_tacocat_ Posted February 13, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 13, 2023 We lucked out on our first Miami voyage in December 2021, and they still had the European coke syrups from launch. I LOVE European Fanta!!! It was the bright orange nasty US version at Bimini, but the European version onboard. Flash forward to my next voyage in June 2022, and it was crappy US syrups everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me, if one is concerned about food quality and healthy ingredients, Coca Cola products might want to be avoided. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, I will say I found the Spanish Fanta different and not as good as the Fanta I had in other parts of Europe, so ymmv on that. My husband and I figure it's so much better because it has to compete with the always superior, and more available in Europe, Orangina. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
