OK, now we are really in cruise mode....and sweating the details.
DW wants to know if HAL has Splenda (the yellow packets) available in addition to Equal and Sweet n Low.
I, myself, needing to lose weight, am not worrying about it, but I guess every bit helps???
I can already feel my legs rockin' !!!!

Splenda was readily available on my recent cruise on the Ryndam.

Real question is what kind of Sweet n low? In England I found that the Sweet n Low had aspartame not saccharin. Since aspartame gives me horriable headaches I travel with my own Sweet n low. And no, for blood sugar reasons I can't do sugar.

Okay, I have to admit to cracking up when I saw this subject line because not 2 hours ago when I was daydreaming about our upcoming* trip on O'dam, I asked myself this very same question and thought to myself "gee, betcha the gang on CC will know!"
Sure enough......

Splenda was available on both the Ryndam and the Rotterdam when we were onboard last year. My DW is allergic to the "pink" stuff and was pleased to find it.:)

I also prefer Splenda. On our cruise last year on the Noordam it was available sometimes in the Lido but not in the dining room. I always pack a quantity of the packets in a ziplock just in case.
It seems Splenda is becoming more widely used all the time. I heard that Coke was going to market a version of their cola with it. For now I drink Diet-Rite products almost exclusively. I particularly like the Tangerine flavor.

Yeah, I was always in trouble in school because I asked too many questions...trouble is they were the same questions all the other kids wanted to ask but were afraid to ask about.
I AM PACKED AND READY TO GO!!!!!!!

This is so funny! I was just wondering the same thing. I just hadn't asked yet. I am so glad! I have started drinking tea again and the splenda is better than sugar in it. Thanks, just one more out of a million reasons to look forward to this cruise in 58 days!
