Hot chocolate?

[Jetlagged787]

Is hot chocolate available anywhere on board Spirit and if so, is it available on the UBP?

[casofilia]

I don't know about on the Spirit but it has been available on all the NCL ships I have cruised on. In the buffet there are stations where you get tea and coffee; they have sachets of hot chocolate powder there and you make your own to taste. if they are not there, ask.

You can get great hot chocolate from the coffee bar in the atrium but you have to pay extra for it.

Thank you both for your replies. I can taste my nightcap now, with just a slosh of Malibu or brandy to top it off!

I just took some of the hot chocolate packets back to the room. Hot water from the coffee maker and double strength with two packets. Good!

Although the hot chocolate in buffet and complimentary room service breakfast was packets, in the MDR at breakfast when we ordered hot chocolate it came pre-made in a carafe.

Great thought Roger but, being buried in a dark hole down in the bowels of the ship, I doubt that we qualify for a coffee maker! Surely, they're just for the posh folk up top!

Now there's an idea. Hot chocolate and brandy for breakfast. The Spanish call it Lumumba and I like one in the evening. I'm adaptable though and hey! It must be bedtime somewhere in the world while we're having brekkie!

Hmm...I think a coffee maker comes with all the cabins.

This just gets better!

 

Final balance payment today. 92 more sleeps and we're on our way. :cool:

Nope, just balcony and higher categories.

None Inside or OceanView.

 

OP could ask cabin steward who might be able to find an extra one, but not always.

Thanks. It's not a problem, as I wasn't expecting one anyway.

I do think that this kind of request would be totally inappropriate. In my opinion, it would be putting undue pressure on the steward when it is not part of his/her duties.

Well, I'll have to totally disagree with that. Sure (I say) it's part of his/her duties assisting you with reasonable requests. There are frequently extra coffee makers available in their storage area, or available when someone else has asked to have theirs removed because they don't use one, which also I don't feel is an inappropriate request. It's no pressure at all on him/her. If they don't have one available, they'll tell you. Cabin stewards realize they are the first line point of contact between the guest and the ship (NCL) for many questions, requests.

Just got back from sailing on the Spirit. I know that you can get hot chocolate packets in the Buffet and the blue lagoon.
