RED ALERT! Why Pepsi Super Fans May Want to Pick a Different Cruise Line This Fall

We’ve got BIG news coming from Carnival Cruises, but it really only affects one group of people.

Specifically, if you’re someone who drinks lots of soda on vacation, then you need to know that something is changing when it comes to the soda served on Carnival cruises. For the first time since 2020, the company is moving AWAY from serving Pepsi products.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, after over five years of serving Pepsi products on board, Coca-Cola products will once again be available on ships starting later this summer. Coca-Cola’s soft drinks, zero-sugar offerings, and sparkling flavored water like Sprite, Fanta, Powerade, Topo Chico, and Fairlife will be available on ships sailing from the company’s 13 U.S. ports.

In a news release, Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, said, “We are excited to welcome back Coca-Cola’s diverse lineup of beverages, which our guests love and which will enhance the food and beverage experience that is always part of a great cruise vacation on Carnival. Both our brands are built on bringing people together, making The Coca-Cola Company and Carnival Cruise Line a perfect partnership.”

The full fleet of ships across North America will all serve Coca-Cola again by the end of September. In a news release about the announcement, Dagmar Boggs, president of foodservice and on-premise for The Coca-Cola Company’s North American operating unit, said that the company is “thrilled to be back on board with Carnival, literally! From an ice-cold Coca-Cola with lunch, a Topo Chico by the pool, or a Powerade after exploring a destination, we’ll have the perfect drink for every moment of the journey.”
