Coke Zero on Fantasy after dry dock?

[goofyintoronto]

Probably because it's the most popular. I share your frustration with the lack of Coke Zero, which has started disappearing from WDW locations, too. How much more expensive can it be than the nauseating Diet Coke?

I just dont understand how diet coke is more popular than coke zero. IT TASTE LIKE CRAP! Although i understand that diet coke has been around for a very very looooooong time. There are probably many die hard true diet coke lovers out there. But still, its a horrid beverage. All i taste is aspartame. And its overly carbonated too.

I'm on board with this.
I often do 1/2 Pepsi 1/2 Diet Pepsi in the Pepsi product scenario. Helps define the Pepsi taste and eliminate the Diet taste and still not as many calories. Though I really like Pepsi Max.

I do the same thing with coke and pepsi! I do half and half. Great alternative for those that cant stand diet coke but want something with slightly fewer calories/sugar than regular coke or pepsi.

Or look at it this way - you really have 4 spigots of coke when you consider both sides (And 2 diet cokes and two sprites). Could we get just one spigot of zero???

Speaking of mixing, at my local Sam's they have zero and cherry coke. I mix those to make a pseudo cherry coke zero (hardly anyone carries cherry coke zero outside of the freestyle machines).

If only DCL would put freestyle machines on their ships...

While I would personally love a freestyle, I also think it would be a disaster on the ships. Can you imagine the lines/ wait on the number of people that have never used one trying to figure it out?

They'd have to put them in a low traffic area to try to keep the crowds down.

Which would instantly become a high-traffic area until the novelty wears off.

I hope they don't.

RCCL has Freestyle. The lines can get ridiculous around meal times and that's when it's only people who paid to have soda are trying to get it. It didn't help that, in Windjammer, they had wait staff using the Freestyle machine to dispense drinks for people.

On the plus side, Coke Zero could be added anytime, doesn't require dry dock to change a sticker on the soda fountain. Could still happen if enough demand / requests.

I was also on the the Disney Fantasy after dry dock. No coke zero as confirmed. BUT
I did find coke zero at Cookies BBQ on the island and also found that the Passion Orange Guava juice (POG juice) can be found in Cabanas under the name 'Orchards best'.

The heresy! Diet coke is amazingly delicious, and I HATE Freestyle machines! Ugh!

Fun fact for the PP who listed the top Coke products. Dr. Pepper is independent of CoKe, so you can see it on the rare Pepsi fountain group as well, since it's dependent on the buyer.

I have tried to cut out soda, so I wish they would provide "natural" lemonade and iced tea. I don't like the Minute Maid kind... it's just not real. But of course the cost is prohibitive, I know. My favorite is Chik-fil-a's homemade lemonade, but I almost had an out-of-body when they rang me up for a gallon I bought for work... $9.50!!

And lastly, I too (before I tried cutting it out) was in the Diet Coke but Real Pepsi camp.... weird.

Dr. Pepper appears on Coke's top 10 due to them having the non-U.S. branding rights to the name. That is not true in the U.S., so you may see Dr. Pepper on various drink fountains. Mr. Pibb was Coke's shot at replicating Dr. Pepper (fun information found here: http://www.pibbthug.com/history/)

Interesting. I def prefer Dr. Pepper over Mr Pibb. I only mentioned it bc my good friend in grad school's dad was an exec for Dr P and she would enjoy spotting Dr P in the soda fountain.
