Alternate to Dairy?

[Alphawave]

Does anyone know if they have soy milk or lactaid milk on the Rhapsody? Sounds trivial, but I hate coffee BLACK.

Don't know about Lactaid, but I think you can arrange for soy milk in advance. And -- if you order room service, more often than not you will get that fake coffee lightener. But, beware, sometimes it will say "non dairy" but it contains milk products. Look for a "Pareve" on the label, which means it has absolutely no dairy products in it.

They had non-dairy creamer available when I sailed on her in December. They didn't have any soy milk, but I didn't request it in advance.

[Schplinky]

If you ask 6 weeks out or more, they will ensure there is lactaid. If you don't, they always have soy. This has been my experience on both RCL and Celebrity, although on Celebrity, when I aksed, they said it would be easier if I could just drink soy.

Here is the information you need from the RCCL website.
