Moomin2009 Posted December 23, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 23, 2013 An odd question, but our daughter has just got in to drinking hot chocolate and asked me today if there would be any on the "holiday boat". I realised I have no idea but thought someone on here would be able to point us in the right direction if there is any to be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted December 23, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 23, 2013 It is available at the beverage station 24/7 as well as from room service and in the dining rooms. No charge, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moomin2009 Posted December 23, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Wow fantastic. She will be very very pleased. And thank you because I think you have answered every single one of my silly questions that I have ever posted on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted December 23, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 23, 2013 You are most welcome (I've been on DCL ships way too many times!) The hot chocolate at the beverage station is in packets that you mix with water. I THINK (but am not sure) that in the dining rooms it is made from milk, not the instant stuff.

On the wonder there were no packets, it came from the machine like coffee does. At home, I mix a packet of hot chocolate with my coffee. A yummy tip, full coffee cup half to 3/4's with chocolate soft serve, fill with hot chocolate, put top on, mix with stir stick. enjoy! IF you have the packets, you can get a few, ask room service for hot milk and mix your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what or why the difference or if my reply is out of date..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it wasn't working and they had the packets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted December 24, 2013 #9 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Very different than the Magic in August...but that was before the "reimagination" dry dock. Sorry, haven't cruised in 4 whole months. What's wrong with me???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it wasn't working and they had the packets. There's a trick to getting it working. The guy knew the trick. lol, open it up, and bang. Works again! It was running just water a few times. I didn't care, one guy said something to the staff guy. Staff guy did the trick. and magic, it worked again. Though last week there was an additional wooden box with 12 different teas.

Gardeneroflove Posted December 24, 2013 #12 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Besides the one all the way on the left (in that picture)? Yes. A nice wooden box with a top, with twelve selections. Winter 2013 or Holiday 2013...or something. I know there was a selection of 12. The guy refilled the wooden box. I was impressed with the tea selection.

moki'smommy Posted December 24, 2013 #13 Share Posted December 24, 2013 YUK...by your picture they have gone back to that nasty nutrasweet yellow instead of real Splenda. I was so happy this summer--I brought my own Splenda based on the lack of it on my previous cruise and was delighted to find the real stuff at the beverage station! Turned out they had both products on the ship. My assistant server knew I liked the real stuff, so made her own stash for the duration of the cruise!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they've changed the sweeteners or not, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they've changed the sweeteners or not, I don't know. Thanks for the date! On the July/August Med cruises (2013), they had both Splenda and NutraSweet Yellow. Just had to be careful which was out when I got it. I understand that the Splenda costs more, but.....well, the Med cruises weren't cheap! Taking my own box is easy, but takes a lot of space in the luggage~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
