Sodas

[jbminnie]

We are on the Wonder out of Galveston on Dec 15. We were wondering what brand /types sofas are offered on the cruise?

 

[Dug720]

Disney is exclusively Coke products for sodas.

I don't know what manufacturer they use for the sofas though. Sorry!

you know if they have Dr Pepper?

I'm inclined to say no...I think Dr. Pepper is its own thing (as in not manufactured by Coke or Pepsi). They might have Mr. Pibb, but I'm not sure. (I'm a diet Coke girl and don't really look for the other stuff.) I'm sure someone (read: @PrincessShmoo ) has a picture of the dispensers though.

 

[Shanti]

No Dr. Pepper, unfortunately. The Fantasy didn't even have Coke Zero this past December, just Coke or Diet Coke, Sprite or Sprite Zero. Sigh.

 

[Rabb it]

Off the Magic in Feb, they had Coke, Coke Zero, Sprite, Juices, Lemonade, and they had a really tasty raspberry lemonade that my girlfriend got everyday at lunch..

You can get Coke Zero in the MDRs for free. It's just not in the soda machines on deck.

On the Wonder (Oct 2015):

If they have it.

We haul our own Diet Dr. Pepper on board. DH is addicted to the stuff.

Not on the Fantasy this past December. Believe me, I asked. Diet soda is the primary beverage I drink. The only diet sodas were Diet Coke & Sprite Zero anywhere on the ship or on Castaway Cay.

I remember Coke Zero being on the Magic in 2015, but the Fantasy didn't have it in December 2016.

Looks like it is hit or miss. We were on the Wonder in early 2015 and there wasn't Coke Zero in the fountain machine. And we've been on the Fantasy and had it in the MDR. I wish they would just have it everywhere all the time!

In some markets, Dr. Pepper is offered alongside Coke or Pepsi products. (Around here, it's included in Pepsi sales, but is also at McDonald's.) But because of how the supplier relationship works with Disney, where it's not tied to a single bottler, no non-totally-Coke products.

I wish the "light" would just go away. Love Minute Maid lemonade and even the pomegranate but that light stuff is horrible tasting. The aspartame kills the flavor

Get me some root beer in that machine

While we are at it why do they not just can those fountains and put in four maybe even 5 coke freestyle machines. The space required to house the bags of syrups would be dramatically reduced

I really hope they do not do this. I hate the way coke tastes out of the Freestyle machines. It never has the right blend to make it taste like Coke.

Amen! Those things are horrid.

I agree about the 'light' lemonades. Wish they just had the regular stuff--especially as my kids are drinking the lemonade. I hate the taste of aspartame as well.

So I don't drink coke (it leaves a funny fuzzy feeling on my teeth) I do realize that there are die hard coke fans

I did read this article http://m.nasdaq.com/article/the-future-of-coke-tastes-funny-cm204420
And there are lots of you that says your coke tastes different out of the machine. So how about a compromise. We keep the one fountain bank and put in two freestyle machines. Could keep the coke but replace the others with other coke products....like gold peak teas (White Citrus anyone?) or maybe we could have the popular flavors of "club cool" coke sodas from around the world as we sail around the world (who doesn't love some Beverly? ;-) )

I'm willing to bet those additional flavors would be a big hit, especially with the kids

 

[JWG]

Anywhere there are high volumes of people Freestyle machines are a horrid idea. Each person takes 5 minutes to decide what they want and the throughput is terrible. Add on top of that hundreds of kids left to do as they want and using the machine... I can't even handle it at our local quick service restaurant when there are 3 people trying to figure it out...

 

[_auroraborealis_]

Totally agree.

 

[DLM1980]

Well I'm trying to get more choices. Ya all are just shooting them down. however since a freestyle machine is self contained they can be placed practically anywhere without the need for running more than a power, water, carbonation and drainage line. A standard fountain is going to need a line for every soda back to the bag in a box area. They take up less space. Imagine these machines throughout the boat or at least one or two in adult only area of the pool deck

Can they have lines, yes, but that's why I originally had said a bank of 5 of them, then compromised with a fountain and two machines.

I really just want more choices in coke products. Cherry Sprite, Hi-C, Orange Crush or Fanta, Root Beer, Mr. Pibb, Mello Yellow

I love a good cherry limeade and my Sams Club has a Fanta Cherry Limeade on tap

Just root beer alone, if that was available one could make themselves some delicious root beer floats with that "eye scream"
