No More Cathay Delights?
I used both FT search and Google search, but couldn't find any recent posts on Cathay Delights. I've heard that CX's long-time and much-beloved signature drink is no longer available. Recent reports from The Wing say it's no longer offered.
Can this be true?

Yesterday from HKG-KUL on CX723 J, they seems not have Cathay Delight on the drink list menu (or I miss the reading). But I ask SP directly when she hand out the breakfast tray, she gave me immediately.......
I think now the signature drink is only available upon request.

Had it today (HKG-CGK). When I last flew the same route it was the Oriental Breeze instead, I suspect they just rotate them?

In my experience flying F to and from the US, Oriental Breeze and Cathay Delight are rotated on a monthly basis - multiple FAs have explained the process to me. IIRC in November they had Breeze, in December they should have the Delight, and Jan will be the Breeze again.
Not sure how it is in J, on regional services, etc.

Recent reports (during the past week) have been that neither drink was available in the HKG lounges.
I'm trying to find out if CX has dropped these signature drinks (especially the Cathay Delight) or if it was some sort of fluke at the lounge.

The issue is if CX has discontinued the drink, based on recent reports from the HKG lounges.

All of which was offered on my CX 415 this morning.
