Midnight Blue Posted April 30, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 30, 2016 A question for any one who is currently on Solstice or who sailed on her recently: Does Cafe al Bacio have heavy cream (unsweetened) available for coffee? Not creamer or even half and half, but heavy cream? I really feel like a "special snowflake" asking this question, but (believe it or not) as a Type 2 diabetic, it's better for me to use a little heavy cream in my coffee than it is to use creamer or milk. In the end, I can absolutely make do with half and half, but I just thought I'd ask. Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juda Posted April 30, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I totally understand, so you're not a snowflake lol ... am interested in the answer too - I eat LCHF (low carb, high fat as a pre diabetic) and travelling on Solstice out of Australia next year - last time we travelled I think the cream was out of a can possibly and sweetened (2 years ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Texed Posted April 30, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 30, 2016 : Does Cafe al Bacio have heavy cream (unsweetened) available for coffee? They should. Heavy cream is what should be used in Aspen Coffee. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookitdanno Posted April 30, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I can't speak for Solstice, but on Silhouette early this month, they had milk and heavy cream available in pitchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

going diamond Posted May 1, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Sorry, but I'm curious - what is the difference between heavy cream, half and half, and creamer? (I'm not familiar with the terms) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestLakeGirl Posted May 1, 2016 #7 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Bing is your friend... Heavy cream, is whipping cream, is 36-40% fat cream Half and half is half milk and half light cream, at 12% fat Creamer is a non dairy product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muushka Posted May 1, 2016 #8 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I love that LCHF is finally coming out of the closet! I use heavy cream every day in my coffee. Yummm. Fat!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm not familiar with the terms) Heavy cream, is whipping cream, is 36-40% fat cream Half and half is half milk and half light cream, at 12% fat Creamer is a non dairy product To add to OP's post - As a diabetic myself, I understand what is meant by using heavy cream instead of milk or creamer. It is about the carbs, which diabetics usually keep track of. Heavy cream, when churned, turns to butter, which has zero carbs. Heavy cream = 0 carbs. Milk, half and half, creamers and similar all have some carbs. Personally, I've never asked for heavy (we call it whipping) cream in my hot beverage, but I absolutely "get it". ;):) .

Langley Cruisers Posted May 11, 2016 #12 Share Posted May 11, 2016 And it is so much more satisfying :D. :D:D:D I do love half and half the best, though, so I accept those carbs as part of the pleasure of drinking coffee. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep -- exactly what I'm doing -- counting the carbs! And looking on the bright side that I put that tablespoon of heavy/whipping cream in my coffee with zero guilt these days! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
