MADflyer Posted April 10, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I have not seen an announcement about that, but RCI have a recent history of providing kettles in all cabins on ships that are UK based. I would assume Anthem would have them for the UK summer season. I believe coffee makers are only in suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogofman Posted April 10, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 10, 2015 You could always take a travel kettle and collect the teas and coffees from the promenade café. I'd assume since the ship is not going to be based in UK, they won't go to the expense of providing 1000's of kettles. my wife always like to brew up before leaving for breakfast and last thing at night.

All ships that sail out of the UK are only seasonally home-ported in the UK, as Anthem will be for this summer season. For the most recent seasons, RCI has done just that and outfitted Brilliance, Adventure and Indy with kettles in all cabins. I believe they have also been doing this for all ships sailing from Australia. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1989141 One of the reasons for doing this was to avoid guest needing to bring their own electrical appliances.

TBone2K Posted April 10, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 10, 2015 What we have done on other ships is order room service tea and then keep the carafe for the cruise. We would then use our own teabags brought from home or pick them up from the Windjammer. Then you just have to fill up the carafe with hot water somewhere (I can't speak for where on Anthem is best, I would go to the Promenade Cafe on ships that are so-equipped).

Me neither, but on the Anthem group on FB it seemed like they had officially been told no kettles. Of course if there are it will be a nice surprise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saw777 Posted April 10, 2015 #9 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I would think yes as all RCCL ships out of UK have them. Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted April 10, 2015 #10 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Historically, whenever a ship is ported out of Southampton they have put kettles in the rooms. I fail to see why this approach should change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SausPud Posted April 10, 2015 #11 Share Posted April 10, 2015 We really won't know until the first sailing has happened. So keep an eye out for that info Pete, as you sail in May, you can then make a choice of taking a travel kettle or not. Good question but a bit too soon to really answer.

Also looking forward to meeting up in October to compare our likes and dislikes on our Second visit to her. Because for that short trip we will be only doing the best bits we liked for the three days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEIx15x8 Posted April 16, 2015 #20 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'd be surprised if they didn't have them. They had them on the Indy when she was there. On the second to last night of our transatlantic they took all of the tea kettles out of the cabins. When I asked if they were all going to be thrown away they said that they get inspected, any bad ones are tossed, but the majority are put into storage in Florida and return to the ship prior to her return transatlantic. Seems like they could put them on Anthem and then until she goes to Port Canaveral so they can be stored in Florida and then returned to the Indy prior to her returning to the UK in the Spring.

Suzieanna Posted April 16, 2015 #21 Share Posted April 16, 2015 When we were on the Brilliance of the Seas a few years go, that had kettles - and that was leaving from Barcelona. Is tea/coffee only a British thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SausPud Posted April 16, 2015 #22 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Is tea/coffee only a British thing? We British built an Empire on Tea. Check history books (do people still read books?) and things like Boston Tea Party was the British, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzieanna Posted April 16, 2015 #23 Share Posted April 16, 2015 All I know is if I can't make myself a cuppa whenever I want I feel very much out of sorts.... silly I know. Room service is just not the same. I would sooner do without than have some poor soul traipse up all them stairs with a mug of Tetley or PG just for me! I think there will be kettles in the rooms.

I'll be in the casino nearly every night avoiding my teenagers ! lol tea and coffee are a British thing. my first RCI cruise on voyager never had the facilities. room service really isn't the same. I'm sure many will disagree with me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
