Fruit Punch/ Lemonade

[Arizona Laura]

When we were on the Victory (our first cruise) back in Jan 07 we thought their free Lemonade and Fruit Punch were great.

Since we are Pepsi drinkers and did not purchase Soda Cards (Coke only choice), we were glad to have this option besides alcoholic beverages with meals.

Does anyone remember the brand name? I can see them pouring from those cartons and filling up the machines but cannot remember the brand name.

I would appreciate it. Laura

More than likely it's MinuteMaid, which is owned by the Coca Cola Corporation.

I know it was not a well known brand name. I actually saw the name and remember thinking that the name was unknown to me.

Thanks for helping though.

How would this lemonade do as a mixer for a little rum?

Can't comment on the lemonade, but the fruit punch tasted great with my rum!:cool:

Glad to know there is something other than tea that is free!:D

The guava juice is awesome too.

We had Apple, Lemonade, a Fruit Punch mix and a fourth one(can't remember)

It varied from day to day (from drink sta. to drink sta.??)

but yes the freebies are okaaay! if you're not a soda type.

 

I particularly liked and appreciated the lemonade,

because it was sour (good-sour,not awful)

- made-my-eyes-screw-up-sour.

 

Where I live, juices and drinks are routinely way-over-sugared

so it was a real delight to come across Carnival's lovely sour lemonade,

the way it should be! Yesss!

The guava juice is awesome too.

And tastes even better with coconut rum. ;)

The Passion juice is also great !!!

My dh is a rum drinker, and I have read that the lemonade and rum are very good together.

Don't know about rum, but I can speak from experience it makes a reasonable collins when you add seven-up.

It's the same thing! ;) It was called Pass-O-Guava juice on Legend and something like Orange-Passionfrut-Guava Juice (maybe not in that order) on Triumph.

I remember seeing that.

 

I did not like the lemonade or juices. They were too strong for me. I had to do half water and half juice. I just stuck with alcohol or water! :D

Here's something I posted awhile back......

Room service - MOST of the beverages that are available on Lido, but not lemonade or fruitpunch.

The fruit punch is good with rum, the lemonade mixes well with gin. After a couple of each just mix them all together.:D

Thanks everyone.

Going on the Mariner in Jan..does not sound like RCCL punch/lemonade is as good.

Oh Man... Tequilla gets no respect!

 

It's like the Rodney Dangerfield of liquors.

Silly question. We are pre-ordering Malibu rum for our cabin. If we want to mix with punch or juice how big are the cups they provide? Should we bring our own?

About the Malibu rum. I am only seeing wine on the Carnival site for pre-order. Where did you find the rum pricing information? Thanks.

 

I haven't sailed on Carnival for a few years so I am not much help with the cup size. I'm sorry.

Hi Marie, Just call the Bon Voyage dept at 800-522-7648. They can tell you what they have available and the pricing.

Thanks so much, will do. On one cruise we packed some rum in a ziploc bag, and let's just say, evidently the seal on the bottle was not tight enough as we had some leakage. I would just rather pre-order, pay a bit more, and not have to worry about it.

 

Edited to say that above bottle was new, never opened.

If I had to guess I would say they are 12oz glasses. If you bring your own, try an insulated mug so your drinks stay cold.
