I know. When it was Coke I bought the Bottomless Bubbles for the whole family every cruise. My Kids really hate that they switched to Pepsi.

Well, it looks to be you may want to lug a few cans of coke when you board. 😉

Always do since the change. 12 per person. That's a carryon with two 24 packs in it every cruise.

They're going to carry whichever brand is giving them the better deal

Coke is the only way, after all, it's called rum and coke, not rum and pepsi.  BTW rum and pepsi is horrible.

The moment they go back to Coke = the day my entire group stops buying Beverage Package. 

 

Contrary to opinion: Pepsi sells better due to their extended product like. From actual Coke to Pepsi they're near neck to neck. In a blind taste test, Pepsi almost always wins. People often drink Coke and liken the their taste to it subconsciously because of the coloring or their upbringing. In electroencephalogram tests, people who know it's Coke has more neurons firing. If they don't know its coke they usually think it's bland.

Exactly.

Smartest thing Carnival ever did was dumping Coke.

Now put cocaine back in the formula, and I may give Coke another shot.

Just mix it with a little (or a lot) Jack Daniels and you never know the diff.

[Laurie S.]

No, don't switch!

Did you see that Carnival will offer its own brand of Seltzer. Pina colada and hibiscus.

Not soda though, this is alcoholic. I will try them in a few weeks on Sunshine.

I was among those that were thrilled they switched to Pepsi! But again, we all know everyone has their own opinion, and no matter what, people won't be happy.

So wait did Carnival switch to Pepsi? Can someone link me an announcement? If so I may have to buy the bottomless beverages, because goodness I love 7up.

It happened years ago. BC (Before COVID). Strangely on my last Sunshine cruise they still had Sprite instead of 7up. I have no idea why.

I also noticed 4 months back cases of coke on the aft bar along with Pepsi products.

Yep that was around the time of my Sunshine cruise with Sprite. Maybe they found a few cases in the back? Maybe they couldn't get enough 7up at the time and supplemented with Sprite. Who knows. I wasn't given an explanation (neither did I ask for one). All I know is my 7&7 was actually a 7&Sprite!

It should be a Cuba Libre, but you can't get Havana Club on board, and you can't bring it home anymore. 😥

No, Norwegian switched. Carnival was coke products until about 5 years ago.

🤣

Yes! I agree. If it's not Coke then you're wrong!
