Does Princess have REAL half and half for their coffee?

I use half and half for my coffee. I can't stand coffee "creamers" or milk, although I can use heavy cream. :) I'm thinking if they don't serve half and half, I might bring some of those little containers that don't need to be refrigerated. We'll be on the Grand soon. Does anyone know the status of their creamers for coffee? REAL half and half?? Thanks!

Yes my partner had half and half on the Caribbean Princess last February. They also have milk and a soy option for lactose free people.

Real heavy cream is also available.

Yes, they do. :DSo glad because heavy cream is our preference at home, too!

Half and Half is a very American product.Most of the rest of the world has never heard of it.

If your ship is sailing near North America, their dairy products were probably purchased in the USA, so there is a good chance they will have it onboard.

If your ship is in another part of the world, chances are they will not be able to get it.

I assume that you already know that Half and Half is 50% milk and 50% cream. If they do not have the product you want, you can easily make it yourself. They will have milk and they will have cream onboard, regardless of the itinerary.

I believe it is real cream but on my next trip I'm taking some of my powdered creamer to add to their coffee for flavor. ;)

My input is from personal experience at the International Cafe.

Have watched baristas refill the 'cream' containers with UHT Cream product (look it up).

This product is shelf stable, needs no refrigeration - although it certainly can be chilled if desired.

I expect it's available throughout the ship wherever you might choose to request cream.

In my opinion, is no different than cream we're accustomed to here in the US.

If anything, I thought it was even richer that what I use here.

BTW: the "cream" varies on the different ships. On the Pacific the DIY servers had full cream. On the Crown it tasted like plain old milk.

Same here! I've lost weight on low carb and heavy cream is a special treat for me. Do I need to ask for it or will it be readily available? Of course, I'll gladly take half and half if that's all they have. Just no fake creamer, please.

Yes, they do. :DSo glad because heavy cream is our preference at home, too!

Thanks. I just looked it up. Glad there are no additives like high fructose corn syrup and oils.

We've seen the baristas filling creamers with heavy cream on the Crown about a year ago, last December cream didn't taste anywhere near cream product at all. Didn't see what they were filling it with.

OK. Everyone's got me wondering what they actually use for cream. I'll take a picture of it next week. It comes in a small box & I never really looked closely at the label.

We always use cream when onboard.

I'm sort of a not when it comes to my coffee and my half and half. I found that ships that are homeported in the u.s. usually have half and half. Anywhere else that usually cream and so I will get milk and cream and mix my own.

On the Diamond, Jan. 17-27 there was only milk and skim milk.

I've yet to be on a cruise ship with only milk for coffee! Yes...1/2 &1/2, or regular cream is available!

I assume that you already know that Half and Half is 50% milk and 50% cream. .

For

those that don't, it's probably in the princess cook book.
