NCL turns to PEPSI!
Things go better with . . . . . . . . Pepsi?No offense to our friends at Coke headquarters in Atlanta, but Pepsi loyalists have won another round in the battle of the brands. Norwegian Cruise Lines recently announced that it was changing out its long standing exclusive use of Coca Cola products on its fleet of ships in favor of Pepsi and related brands. To kick off the switch, NCL and Pepsi are celebrating summer by offering up to two complimentary soda packages per stateroom on any seven-night sailing or longer. Guests who book a cruise on one of Norwegian Cruise Line’s 11 Freestyle Cruising ships through October 15, 2009 for sailings through 2010 can request the Pepsi Summer Cup promotion at the time of booking by referencing promotion code PGPOP. Once on board, guests are given a special Norwegian and Pepsi branded souvenir cup and have access to unlimited complimentary fountain soda refills at any bar, lounge or restaurant throughout the duration of the cruise and have the choice of selecting Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew or Sierra Mist.
Now, for the biggest dilemma. When ordering a drink on board, is it now Rum and Pepsi instead of Rum and Coke? Which opens another Pandora’s Box. Rum afficiandos know that when you add a lime to a standard rum and Coke, it becomes a Cuba Libre. So, is a Rum and Pepsi plus lime a Cuba Not So Libre?
