Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. 2009 (I think): Request Diet Dr. Pepper on NYC to Montreal fall cruise. Wasn't in our fridge. Annoyed but shrugged it off. First stop Rhode Island. Walking down the pier we see pallets of food to be loaded on including one with a few cases of Diet Dr. Pepper. They were restocking in RI instead of NYC (my guess is that it is a lot cheaper to do so there!) That night when I got back from our tour, the Diet Dr. Pepper was in our fridge. Contrast that to Crystal: Boarded in Perth Australia. Didn't request Diet Dr. Pepper because it isn't sold in Australia (it isn't sold in much of the world). Sometimes a specialty American shop will have it, otherwise it is almost impossible to get (and that includes some parts of Canada.) First time I'm at a deck grill restaurant I see a waiter going by with a can of Diet Dr. Pepper on a tray. I go ask at the bar, sure enough it is a regularly stocked item, so I had it daily between Perth and Capetown. A lot depends on who the cruiseline uses for their suppliers and how big the ships are and their general cliental. For Crystal, it was Americans. For Silversea it was a much more international mix of passengers.
