cajunfla Posted September 7, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Does the beer come in aluminum cans or aluminum bottles? DW drinks Miller Lite. I assume no glass. Coffee.....what creamers are available? milk, cream, flavored creamer, half and half? Walking on Sunshine on Friday!! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted September 7, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 7, 2015 No flavored creamers on the buffet. Maybe the coffee bar ($) has flavored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikes145 Posted September 7, 2015 #3 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I think Miller Lite comes in aluminum bottles. I usually drink something different though. As far as coffee creamers, we bring out own single serve creamers that don't require refrigeration. And, we bring our own disposable coffee cups with sippy lids. They hold much more than the cups provided by Carnival and it's much easier to walk around and not spill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardeneroflove Posted September 7, 2015 #5 Share Posted September 7, 2015 We plan to bring our Tervis Tumblers. Keeps hot hot, and cold cold. How does it know? lol. The coffee sucks. Horrible. On the second to last day, I accidentally drank the coffee in MDR. I thought it was my hot chocolate. Nope, they refilled with coffee. Husband calls it hot artificially flavored dyed water. if you only drink a cup a day, I'd budget for the cafe. Or bring starbucks via. You can get hot water from room service. I drank hot chocolate from MDR, way better (how? why?) than lido. Creamers: milk, half and half, for most, or chocolate milk/ hot chocolate for me! :eek: I make a cup of hot chocolate, then add a bit of coffee, then cool off with a bit of chocolate milk. :D I did see a few people with the flavored creamers at their table that they brought.

KLD1019 Posted September 7, 2015 #6 Share Posted September 7, 2015 16oz aluminum bottles. budget for the coffee bar. so worth it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardeneroflove Posted September 7, 2015 #7 Share Posted September 7, 2015 16oz aluminum bottles. budget for the coffee bar. so worth it ;) It's decently priced, imo, as well. I used my drink ticket on the last night for a mocha frozen thing. A grande was 3.50. The prices were cheaper than my local starbucks. I figured I could get a week of coffee for the price dh paid for ONE bucket of beers. (I didn't) The one with alcohol was only 4.25 on special.

I'm currently not drinking (much) coffee/caffeine or drinking alcohol, not exactly the best way to cruise... :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbsteve Posted September 7, 2015 #10 Share Posted September 7, 2015 agree with the aweful coffee. you can also bring folders singles. coffee in a tea bag. works well for me for regular coffee, nothing special, but not instant coffee either.

christinacruisin Posted September 7, 2015 #11 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Bummer…so the coffee isn't good? I hadn't read that before. Please someone tell me that it's not so! I'm so looking forward to my morning coffee on my aft balcony every morning. I like Starbucks as a treat, but I'm not a coffee snob. Black coffee is perfectly fine for me. Is the room service coffee any different from what you can get on Lido or MDR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cajunfla Posted September 7, 2015 Author #13 Share Posted September 7, 2015 OK, sounds like cafe' and MDR coffee is the way to go. We both have a strong dislike for starbucks......too over priced for us Prior to retirement, we always made good strong coffee at home, and still do. I can buy 1 pound of Community Coffee and make my own for what they sell 2 cups. Besides, I know small, medium, and large. No idea what a grande and all the other sizes are.

TruckerDave Posted September 7, 2015 #15 Share Posted September 7, 2015 They should put a Keurig in each cabin. (like decent hotels have now) and that way we could all just bring whatever Kcups we wanted. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the room service coffee any different from what you can get on Lido or MDR? isn't good? good is an insult to the 'coffee'. Of course, I can't drink Community Coffee either. But dh can drink anything, black. He never knew 'coffee' could taste so bad. his words. I have folgers at home, so not a coffee 'snob' or someone who 'knows' coffee. I can't drink it black. I can only take it mixed with chocolate milk, hot chocolate, or ice cream...it's slightly better. But it's not enjoyable. If you want to enjoy a cup, bring starbucks or folgers or your band of choice singles, order room service tea or hot chocolate (you'll get the hot water), adding the hot chocolate is optional, of course. You can also ask for cream or milk via room service. btw, I don't remember it being that bad when I traveled before. The cafe is reasonably priced, but not available room service or early (depending on when you wake up). (On disney, dh WAS able to get a coffee from the cafe via room service, yes he tipped both.)

I'd love a Keurig in each cabin. or regular coffee pot, I could brew good ol' folgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustypunkjj Posted September 8, 2015 #18 Share Posted September 8, 2015 They should put a Keurig in each cabin.

I might actually do this on my next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florings Posted September 8, 2015 #19 Share Posted September 8, 2015 The Lido coffee isn't the best, for sure, but I add about 1/3 cup hot water and 2/3 of the coffee and it's pretty good that way. It's just too strong and thick unless you water to taste - and I drink it black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
