Hi all, couple of quick Q’s ref the CV for those who have been on board recently. We generally cart our standard luggage onto Carib liveaboards ( 2 slabs beer, 4 x litres good gin, slab Schweppes tonic water, big bag limes, electrolyte drops for water, 2 litres heavy cream, our own ground coffee, partridge in a pear tree etc.)

Wondering if anyone who has been on recently could answer:

1) are the sodas/tonic waters on board all Seagrams?
2) are there full fat cokes?
3) are the tonic waters in big bottles or cans?
2) what is the local beer the boat carries?
3) was there any fresh citrus available readily other than sliced on meals?
4) was there any mixer for coffee other than power/milk and possibly coffeemate creamer?

Thanks in advance....and yes, we are princesses...


Canned Club Soda and Tonic Water are available onboard.
There is also a variety of canned soda available.
Caybrew and Whitetip are the local beers onboard.
The dining area is filled with an abundance of fresh fruit and tons of snacks that are available 24 hours a day.
I'm not sure what you are looking for in terms of coffee mixers, but the yacht has a variety of milk (dairy and non dairy) as well as a selection of flavored creamers.
 
. Thanks.. but out of date though as the trip was in May had a great trip. The tonic was Seagrams, but we brought our own..and a slab of beers, and a bag of limes and a variety of Chex mix that were very popular ( perhaps not the extra spicy bowl we left in the salon and lots of people regretted sampling) :)

The guys had no heavy cream either, but we brought that too. And a few big bars of cadbury’s That the crew were happy to get stuck into..

Overall really had very few complaints. Not keen on dinner before night dive to be honest, prefer boats that have it after, but other than that it was a great time :) food was a bit pedestrian. Chef is only really allowed to cook ‘safe’ food but they had decent hot sauces. We would have liked to see more Caribbean and some ethnic stuff, but it was all honest. Desserts were a bit ‘meh’ if you are a coffee snob, bring your own ground coffee and filter. Coffee was fine if you don’t really care.

Were you able to cross over to the Sister Islands to dive around Cayman Brac and Little Cayman or did you mostly dive around Grand Cayman?
