Spirit Coffee Makers

[unclepig]

Greetings! My wife, my mom and I are sailing Alaska on the Spirit 9-11. Noticed postings about coffee makers in staterooms on other NCL ships. Does the Spirit have them? We've sailed Carnival and HAL in the past and really wished they had this amenity. - tim

Yes, they have coffee makers and they supply you with Folgers coffee packs.

Thanks MM! It's always a pain for us java junkies to have to get dressed to slog down to the restaurant to get some coffee to have enough energy to shower and get dressed properly. There is always room service, but heaven forfend I should wake up early! - tim

Not only do they have coffee makers in each cabin, they also have 24 hour room service so you can also order pots of coffee as well as danish to carry you over until you get to a restaurant or the breakfast buffet in Raffles. (Try their cheese blintzes. They're to die for.) You're going to have a ball on this ship. Hint: Bring at least 12 hangers because there's not enough in the closet. Also pick up a clear plastic shoe bag (Target). Get the kind that hangs over a door. Hang it on the outside of your bathroom door to keep your curling iron, hair spray, toiletries, brushes, toothpaste, etc. and even your shoes so that you're not tripping all over them if their strewn about the cabin floor. Good luck and have a ball!

What NCL ships do have coffee makers?

The coffee makers on the Spirit are the small 4 cup kind. As mommiemud said they supply you with the folgers. If you think you'll want to make more then the 4 cups ask the room stewart and they will leave you more. Also, they only leave 4 creamers at a time, so you may want to ask for more of those.

 

I second the post about getting room service. Breakfast room service doesn't start until 6:30 so we'd get up early, make a pot of coffe and then have another pot delivered along with juice, fruit and muffins. Just enough to hold us over until the real breakfasts started.

 

For breakfast we ate at both the Windows dining room and Raffles buffet. Raffles has a great omelet station out on the terrace. I'd go through the buffet line and pick up bacon, muffins, etc then go outside and have the chef make me an omelet. (I believe he'd also cook eggs to order for you.)

 

Enjoy the spirt!

Eileen...You guys sound just like my husband and I . I also love the casino and he loves the movies!

 

I'd be very interested to hear your impressions of the Spirit when you return from your October cruise. I would love the do the Panama Canal one day, but for now we are booked to cruise Alaska on the Spirit in Sept. 2005. We've never been to Alaska and are really looking forward to it. Glad to be hearing so many great things about the Spirit. Enjoy your trip!!! Sue

Not exactly - There is what I would call a hot pot. It boils water for tea and instant coffee (if you call that coffee). :( Room service is an option. We did that every morning. The best wake up call.

 

If you are really into your coffee you could bring your own and a small french press. That way you could start the day with a great cup of coffee.

One thing we found with ordering room service breakfast was that they always were about 20 minutes early. We would fill out the card the night before indicating what time we wanted it delivered and hang it on the stateroom door. Room Service would call before delivering our breakfast (then be right there within a couple of minutes) but it was usually about 20 minutes earlier than the time we had wanted. So, after a couple of times, we started putting down a later time and ended up getting it delivered the time we really wanted it!
