Getaway Coffee Maker Question

[cruisekitty22]

I see the balcony cabins have a coffee maker in the stateroom. Is it free?  Does it use pods? Does the cabin steward replenish them daily? Or do we have to ask for him/her to do that?

Yes, the balcony cabins have coffee makers, and they are free.  They don’t use Keurig type pods.  They’re the little round sachets that make a single cup of coffee.  They are replenished daily, but I always mention to my cabin attendant that I like coffee a lot and to please make sure I always have the supplies.

Do they have decaf coffee as that is the only thing we drink.

Yes, you may request Decaf only!

Thank you. Just what I was looking for.

I'm traveling on the Joy in December, and I am a big tea drinker.  I hate it when they say this is a tea maker too as any water that comes out of this tastes like coffee!  Will the steward be able to hook me up with something to heat up water?  Seriously, I drink tea like a Brit 🙂

I don’t think the steward can get you something to heat up water, but room service will bring hot water in a carafe.

hopefully they won't hit me with a $8 service charge each time!

Cafetiere.  Add hot water, allow coffee grounds to steep for a couple minutes, plunge the grounds to the bottom.  5-Star Restaurant grade coffee instead of the "coffee in the wall" garbage you get from the mini pot and keurig setups.

In order to truly extract the best cup, bring your own beans from a local roaster who roasted your beans a week or two before you left on your cruise.  Even better, bring the beans whole and bring a little grinder to make it fresh.

Order hot water in the morning for your tea, which is complimentary, keep your carafe and fill it up with hot water at the buffet through out your trip
