Half and half?

We are soon to embark on our first cruise with Oceania, on Sirena.

Does anyone know if they have half and half onboard? I’m a picky coffee drinker and just wondering what to expect. Thanks.

My ex always had to ask for half and half, and sometimes it would come. Once he was brought whipping cream!

When we first began sailing with Oceania in 2012 (Riviera), there was either half and half or coffee cream on the table.  Post pandemic, the default for coffee lightener seems to be whole milk.  However, i drew the line one morning in GDR when skim milk was placed on the table for my coffee.

 

If you request "cream", some sort of a heavier lightener will show up.  On a longer cruise, a familiar server will remember for you.

 

Enjoy your cruise!

You have to specifically ask for half & half (or cream). Otherwise, it's milk. We drink a lot of coffee with half & half and I find this one of the (albeit minor) annoying things about Oceania that never happens to us on other cruise lines.
