Another beverage station question

[DISNEYFAN3260]

Sorry for another drink question - there have been lots of beverage threads lately! I can't recall whether unsweetened iced tea is available at the beverage station on Fantasy? If so, is there also lemon available? And is there a sugar free lemonade or other sugar free non-carbonated beverage? I haven't sailed for a couple years and can't recall. We have a few non-soda drinkers in our group and I'd rather not pack anything at all that I don't have to, including drink mix packets. TIA.

There was lemon iced tea on my last cruise in 2014.

It can vary ship to ship.



Third to the left is Fuze.

This is on the Fantasy last September (Coke, Sprite, Minute Maid Light Lemonade, Minute Maid Light Pomegranate Lemonade, water, Fuze Iced Tea, Diet Coke, Coke) I don't recall actual lemon slices on the drink station poolside, or in Cabanas. But you could find them on the serving line in various locations.


It was the same on the Dream.

Thanks so much. I was pretty sure you two would be the first to reply with helpful answers, but photos is even better than I could have expected!

Disney Fantasy is right on (as usual). We cruised a couple of months ago and wanted lemons for our tea, and had a favorite bartender (whom we patronized for our bar drinks) who always had a few lemons we'd get on our way to the drink station!

I see his photo says "out of order" LOL. We find that to rarely happen on our cruises.

The OOO helped me get a good shot as no one was using it. You cant take a photo if there are people queuing.

I don't care for the ice tea in the dispenser so I make up my own. I make up some hot tea, wait a bit for it to steep while I fill up my Tervis mug with ice. Pour the fresh made tea over the ice and I'm all set to go. Takes a few minutes longer than just pushing the spigot, but it sure tastes a lot better!

I totally agree about the provided iced tea. Brewed tea is without a doubt much better.

You can usually get fresh brewed tea in the dining rooms. One cruise we had a server that used the soda fountain and the tea was awful but usually if you ask for fresh brewed, they know which "tea" to use.

Agreed and I have no problem ordering it in the dining rooms with meals. However, I was talking about during the day. The dining rooms aren't exactly open for ice tea requests at 3 or 4pm. Besides, it takes only a few minutes to brew my own. I can make a cup of hot tea, filled up my Tervis mug with ice, return to the room, pour the brewed tea into the ice filled insulated mug and....fresh brewed ice tea.

I thought I recalled that there was diet caffeine free coke at the beverage station,
is it not there now?

I've never seen any caffeine free coke at the beverage stations. You can order it by the can (for a cost) in the bars/lounges and room service, though. That's what DH has to do.

Now, there was a brief time that Coke Zero was available on the drink stations, but it didn't last long.

Thank you for the answer. I guess I will stick with water and decaf coffee. Caffeine does
havoc on my system..

We bring our own caffeine free coke onboard.

Coke Zero was available at the drink station/Cabanas on the recent EBTA on the Magic.

Im 99% sure it was on the WBPC cruise last month too.

Caffeine free coke is not popular in Europe we like Zero and it hasn't been on the Magic for a long time.
