Coffee on board/creamer question

[MastersLevelMama]

Hi all. Just wondering what the coffee, particularly from room service, is like on board the ship? The coffee on our Disney Cruise was so bad; brown sour water. Ugh.

 

Second to that, I know we can bring soda on board and two bottles of wine per person what what about liquid coffee creamer like in lieu of soda or a bottle of wine? Yes, my creamer means more to me than wine.... or its at least equal. ;p

LOL, I feel that same love for coffee. I am anxiously awaiting the responses. ☕️

I have been on 5 Carnival cruises and the coffee is beyond horrible. Last time we purchased a refillable cup at the cafe and paid $1.00 for every refill. It was worth every penny. Another note is all the iced tea is unsweetened.

If you mean the flavored creamers, I am also addicted to them.

Yes you can bring them on board but I'd bring the small individually pkged ones and not the large liquid container. Your grocery store/supermarket should have the small ones like you find in restaurants.

why, Carnival has creamers, regular 1/ &1/2 and flavored creamers as well

I would consider the powdered creamers before I'd bring the liquid creamers aboard. I don't find them to be all that different in terms of taste and of course the powdered creamers are a lot less likely to bust open and damage your other belongings.

Thanks all! I use the Coffeemate fat free vanilla creamer and I haven't seen it in a powder but will look more, maybe check Amazon too. I will also look for the individuals. I rarely prefer fat free anything but in this case I do. I know it seems picky and weird, and maybe I am a little of both (aren't we all) but I look forward to my morning coffee ritual. I imagine being on the open seas, on my balcony, will make it that much better.

 

I might bring Starbucks via packets too. And buy the refillable cup.

That's my "drug of choice". https://www.coffee-mate.com/products/sugar-free/powder/french-vanilla-sugar-free/

One bottle of wine per person, not two.

if you are talking about the bottles of creamer, they are not allowed. No bottles are allowed. I would take the individual ones or the powdered ones. there is a good chance if you take a bottle of the creamer, it will be taken and thrown out.

Every cruise I go on be it Carnival or RCCL or Celebrity I always bring my Hazelnut creamer with me. I get a box of 24 liquid creamers and they last the whole cruise.

I have to be honest, anyone who actually like powdered cream, does not really like coffee. I feel the same way about flavored creamers, but will give other taste buds a pass.

:hot-beverage: I'm going to try to find the liquid creamer but will buy the powder if I cannot find it.

 

I live with 3 Starbucks partners (hubby and two daughters) and we drink A LOT of coffee. It'll be weird to buy coffee. They each get a mark out (free product) each week. We haven't bought coffee in 3 years. LOL!

And yet you are here. On a thread about coffee creamers. The mind boggles.

Same! DH the coffee phreak has totally addicted me to hazelnut and for the last 2 cruises he/we packed those liquid individuals...in big ziplock baggies just in case of any leakage, tho so far they have held up really well.

Coffee is okay and I do bring the International Delight singles on every cruise with no problem.

I take them out of the box and in a Tupperware container so they don't get squished

I meant plastic bottle not glass but I'm going to try to find the individuals.

Thank you! What about boxed wine? I found a boxed Malbec that is pretty decent.

Great tip on the Tupperware!

(y) I am so glad I started this thread. Not sure why but individuals and powder did not occur to me.

My husband laughs at me for bringing my coffee creamer and stevia with me, but I'm spoiled and I have to have my coffee just right. :)

LOL! Mine too. He's far less picky than I am....but mess with his Manhattan and its game on.

If you bring boxed wine it will have to be the equivalent of two 750 ML bottles so 1.5 litres. Assuming there are two of you travelling. I will not personally attest to having been able to do this, but I have read other posts where people said they were allowed to do this.

Just so you know, it doesn't matter if the bottles are glass or plastic. No bottles of any kind are allowed. Only cans or the little individuals. Wouldn't want you to get there and be disappointed.

The ship's free coffee is fine if one isn't a coffee snob. If you are one, feel free to buy coffee from the coffee bar. It's your money. Yes, you can bring coffee creamer.
