Carnival Shares Full List of Coke Products and When to Expect Them
Carnival cruise lovers who are also Coke aficionados have been cheering this week with the announcement that the cruise line will be switching to Coca-Cola products in the coming months, but exactly which products will be available?
The Coca-Cola company owns more than 500 different products, from different types of bottled water to sparkling juices, sports drinks, sodas, energy drinks, milks, teas, and much more. Of course, it would be impossible for any cruise ship to carry the complete line of Coke products.
Carnival Cruise Line’s brand ambassador, John Heald, has provided a full list of what sodas and other Coke products will be available, with a lot off options that guests will enjoy.
The most familiar Coke sodas, including caffeine-free and diet variations, will all be available. Other top flavors from the company that will be onboard include Sprite and Sprite Zero, along with Fanta Orange.
Barq’s root beer will be available. Savvy cruise guests will also visit Swirls for some vanilla soft serve ice cream to craft their own delicious oceangoing float!
Topo Chico will be offered in tangerine, lime, and blackberry flavors as more refreshing, sparkling options.
Guests who want to level up their beverages and keep up their energy for all of Carnivals’ onboard activities will enjoy Powerade in both fruit punch and lemon-lime flavors, as well as Powerade Zero in fruit punch and mountain blast flavors. All Powerades will be in 20-ounce bottles.
For those who want an extra protein fix, Fairlife Core Power will be offered in both chocolate and vanilla flavors in 14-ounce bottles.
The complete list of Coke products coming to Carnival ships is as follows:

Club soda, tonic water, and ginger ale will also be available. Though not directly Coca-Cola products, there are manufacturing and distribution agreements with the Coca-Cola company for these popular drinks.
As a special treat for those who are fans (not me, but hey, you do you), Dr. Pepper will also be offered but only on ships sailing from Galveston or New Orleans.
It is possible the unique “pepper soda” will be available onboard other ships in the coming months, but this has not been confirmed.
“I have asked the beards to consider having Dr. Pepper from the rest of the home ports as well,” Heald explained. “I will let you know as soon as I have any news.”
Some guests have also reached out to Heald requesting Mr. Pibb (similar to Dr. Pepper) and Mellow Yellow (similar to Mountain Dew) be added to the drink offerings, but they are not planned at this time.
When Will Coke Products Be Available Onboard?
Now that the overall drink list is known, when will Coke products be available? Heald has only been able to specify “late summer” for when the complete beverage switch will happen.
“It’s quite a big job to restock the ships, get everything where it needs to be, and have all those different products onboard,” he explained. “It is scheduled for the late summer.”
Of course, “late summer” can mean different things to different travelers – our summer vacation ends on August 1, but in other areas it may not end until early or even mid-September. Nevertheless, it is fair to expect Coke products will not be onboard Carnival ships for several weeks yet.

Of course, travelers can always bring a 12-pack of cans of their favorite soda beverages, whether Coke or Pepsi, onboard so they can have whatever they wish to drink whenever they are setting sail.
Those 12-packs can also be replenished at ports of call so no one needs to crave their favorite soda or juice even on longer sailings or if Carnival hasn’t quite switched over to their preferred beverages yet.
