Free beverages?

What drinks (if any) are available throughout the day or in the buffet? Ice tea? Lemonade? Thank you!

Thank you, so it seems that ice tea is the only cold beverage offered throughout the day. I don't drink soda, but was hoping they at least had lemonade. Oh well, I guess I'll pack some of my own.

Yea, I think they should provide lemonade too. It's not any more expensive than tea. I believe many people take Crystal Light for the convenient packaging.

You can pretty much make your own lemonade if you wish. You can order water with lemon and just add sugar. Just a thought.

I really wish they had something else besides Iced tea. Do you know if they have decaf ice tea? I cannot tolerate caffeine and my 6 year old certainly doesn't need caffeine... he's active enough :eek: . On X they offer punch and lemonade free all day, which I would water down for my son. Does Princess offer juice? What do they have for kids to drink on Princess during the day???

 

Thanks.

Can any experienced Princess cruisers out there answer my questions?

 

Thanks.

You can get cartons of milk any time but you have to ask one of the servers for it. As you've read, not much else available.

As already said, you can ask for milk at the buffet or in the dining room during meals. There are no sweet drinks like lemonade or fruit punch available. You might think about getting some of those single servings of crystal light to take along.

Crystal Light is the way to go. You can make it and keep some in the fridge in the stateroom

I agree with the Crystal Lite to go. We just sailed Princess this January, and used these little packets. I kept some in my purse, so they were always handy at meal time. Also, yes, they do have decaffinated coffee.
