Hot Chocolate

[Aussie Lee]

Hi everyone.

 

We will be cruising in a few months and my SIL does not drink tea or coffee.

 

Is hot chocolate available, especially in the main dining room? Is it available in any other locations? If so, is it drinkable?

It's available. It's just the packet type of hot chocolate, nothing special.

And at least RCI ships it's the "Dark" chocolate packets..If she has a certain brand she could bring her own..and make sure it's made with milk rather than water.

Thank you for your quick replies. My SIL drinks Milo (not sure if it's available in USA) which she makes with water.:eek: I would only ever use milk!! But it's good to know that she can drink something hot.

On colder weather cruises I pack a small package of mini-marshmallows just for the hot chocolate.:D

Not sure if this is the case across the fleet but on the Grandeur the past 2 sailings I have ordered hot chocolate with desert on the first night and the assistant waiter had to run up to the windjammer to get some. The first sailing we had no idea he would have to make that kind of trek until after he brought it back so when he told us we informed him that it would be every night. The next day we brought a pack with us to give to him only for him to say he went up earlier in the day to get a whole box for the rest of the sailing. Not sure why they wouldn't have any in the MDR by default since they have the same tea as up in the Windjammer and in the past on larger ships they never seemed to have any issue with it already being available.

The buffet should have some flavored water also -- something like Kiwi-Strawberry or Mango. You could also bring it with you to the MDR if you want. (Your waiter probably would also run to the buffet to get you one -- They do work hard!)

This is what I do with Hot chocolate

 

Take Hot Coffee, Add Hot Chocolate, Half and Half and a packet or two of sugar or Splendia and mix it in. If there is Cinnamon or Nutmeg you can add it too.

 

Very Delicious without paying for a specialty drink.

 

Another thing I do is take Vanilla Soft Serve Ice Cream they serve and put coffee on top of it(:

Packets are available in the Windjammer. She might want to grab an extra one to take to the MDR in case they don't have it there....they can just bring a cup of hot water or milk.

Thank you everyone for your ideas. It's good to know that it is available in WJ & because it's in packets it is easy to take back to your cabin.

I'll let my SIL know to stock up on some packets of Hot Chocolate and to keep her Milo at hand in the cabin just in case she doesn't like the packets.

 

Travelplus, I also love Affogato (ice cream with a shot of hot coffee poured over).

I find the packet chocolate in WJ incredibly sweet.....

 

 

Is this what they make the hot chocolate from when they bring it to room service when ordered?

You can get actual hot chocolate @ park cafe& cafe promenade. They use steamed milk & some kind of syrup & whipped cream. Yum

Going to Alaska in May. We plan on drinking a lot of coffee & hot chocolate.

Question: Do they have marshmallows or marshmallow fluff available?

RCI Radiance had great hot chocolate out on deck on our Alaska cruise the morning we were at Hubbard Glacier...but there was a charge..perhaps it was that thermal travel cup it was served in...oh well I brought mine home and have used it.

Aussie Lee glad I'm not the only one who like Affogato onboard. I ask my server for Coffee and Ice Cream and just pour the coffee over the ice cream.

Oasis. It was around $3 or part of any package.

Does anyone know if they have No Sugar added or Sugar Free hot chocolate?

 

Thanks

Fluff? That stuff in the jar right? Uhh, no - no fluff.

That would be nice but I have never seen it. You could definitely bring your own packages, though.

They also make a plastic container that has the mini marshmallows in it for hot chocolate. I keep it in my classroom closet next to my hot coco mix! Always nice for a treat for myself on a freezing afternoon! It would be very light to bring along!

Thanks - just trying to plan whether or not to pack it.
