Real maple syrup?

Is the "maple syrup" onboard real pure maple syrup, or is it the maple flavored corn syrup that is more typically served in American restaurants?

We're on the Radiance of the Seas, Alaska, if that makes a difference (but I would guess it's probably the same across the whole line).

Thanks.

It is not real maple syrup.

LOL no it is not maple syrup from Canada or anything, that stuff is expensive.

Oh my goodness :D...it's in a large container....no idea the brand but it's definitely not real.

It is not even good fake syrup.

True, so true. :(

It's basically colored sugar with some maple flavoring, which is what most syrup is, unless you spend the money for the real thing.

We take our own VERMONT maple syrup with us and also small containers to give to the crew. We would be stopped at the border if we ever used that corn syrup.:eek::D

That is nice of you, does the crew say that vermont maple syrup is not the same as QUEBEC Maple Syrup ?

Why you had to capitalize vermont I don't know.

...........because it is the best in the world....:D......all I know they tell me it is way better than the corn sugar stuff.;)

Québec Maple syrup is the best thing in entire world. The other Stuff we name it "sirop de poteau" (pole Syrup). Like this

.........love it!:D:D:D

Thanks! I'll bring my own -- it won't be the first time I've traveled with syrup in tow. I thought I remembered that HAL had real maple syrup on request on the MDR (I might be mis-remembering that) so I thought it was worth asking.

I do think it's funny that maple syrup is the one thing that is not "real" unless it specifically says it is ... The maple lobby needs to get on that!

This is our sugar shack that is not quite finished yet. We are 3 Families that make Maple Syrup in there. So... of course... ours is the best[emoji6] Looking to tap about 200 trees this year. Had about 140 tapped last year.

Fake Maple Syrup is formally known as "Breakfast Syrup". It's definitely not apart of my breakfast

In fact I noted on our recent cruise that is exactly how they label it in WJ, "breakfast syrup" I'd say it's about on par with store brand fake syrup. Definitely not up to Log Cabin standards. :)

With all the changes and cutbacks on all the cruise lines, real maple syrup would have caused a riot!

Doubt it. It's about $10 more expensive per bottle and I'd bet the majority of cruisers would complain that it didn't taste right.

That Quebec picture is funny, but they are talking about the fake stuff, not about syrup from trees in other parts of the world. :)

What's funny is that I grew up with a mom from Schenectady so she always had real syrup, and I despised it. I yearned for Log Cabin.

Then I ended up with a husband and son who react terribly to corn syrup, and truly cannot have the fake stuff. So it's back to syrup from trees for me. (which just seems so weird...tree blood...odd)

We just bring a few little bottles with us to use and to give to the crew as gifts. Yes we are from Vermont so we have easy access to different sizes to bring.

we do also.....one trip we were in Newark N.J. and because of construction we had to exit and be re screened for security. We purchased our maple syrup at the BTV airport past security and you guessed it, we had to give up our liquid gold BUT we made a couple ticket agents very, very happy.

I think on the Oasis and Quantum Class in Coastal Kitchen they serve pancakes etc with maple syrup or at least they are calling it that way;)

I can't remember ever seeing maple syrup in any restaurant (or cruise) that serves syrup.
