MastersLevelMama Posted September 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Hi all. Just wondering what the coffee, particularly from room service, is like on board the ship? The coffee on our Disney Cruise was so bad; brown sour water. Ugh. Second to that, I know we can bring soda on board and two bottles of wine per person what what about liquid coffee creamer like in lieu of soda or a bottle of wine? Yes, my creamer means more to me than wine.... or its at least equal. ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory! Posted September 16, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 16, 2017 LOL, I feel that same love for coffee. I am anxiously awaiting the responses. ☕️ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snyder_Clan Posted September 16, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I have been on 5 Carnival cruises and the coffee is beyond horrible. Last time we purchased a refillable cup at the cafe and paid $1.00 for every refill. It was worth every penny. Another note is all the iced tea is unsweetened.

riffatsea Posted September 16, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 16, 2017 If you mean the flavored creamers, I am also addicted to them. Yes you can bring them on board but I'd bring the small individually pkged ones and not the large liquid container. Your grocery store/supermarket should have the small ones like you find in restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted September 16, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 16, 2017 why, Carnival has creamers, regular 1/ &1/2 and flavored creamers as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUU Posted September 16, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I would consider the powdered creamers before I'd bring the liquid creamers aboard. I don't find them to be all that different in terms of taste and of course the powdered creamers are a lot less likely to bust open and damage your other belongings.

MastersLevelMama Posted September 16, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Thanks all! I use the Coffeemate fat free vanilla creamer and I haven't seen it in a powder but will look more, maybe check Amazon too. I will also look for the individuals. I rarely prefer fat free anything but in this case I do. I know it seems picky and weird, and maybe I am a little of both (aren't we all) but I look forward to my morning coffee ritual. I imagine being on the open seas, on my balcony, will make it that much better. I might bring Starbucks via packets too. And buy the refillable cup.

I would take the individual ones or the powdered ones. there is a good chance if you take a bottle of the creamer, it will be taken and thrown out.

robin13 Posted September 17, 2017 #12 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Every cruise I go on be it Carnival or RCCL or Celebrity I always bring my Hazelnut creamer with me. I get a box of 24 liquid creamers and they last the whole cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted September 17, 2017 #13 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I have to be honest, anyone who actually like powdered cream, does not really like coffee. I feel the same way about flavored creamers, but will give other taste buds a pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live with 3 Starbucks partners (hubby and two daughters) and we drink A LOT of coffee. It'll be weird to buy coffee. They each get a mark out (free product) each week. We haven't bought coffee in 3 years. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH the coffee phreak has totally addicted me to hazelnut and for the last 2 cruises he/we packed those liquid individuals...in big ziplock baggies just in case of any leakage, tho so far they have held up really well.

Midwestgal Posted September 17, 2017 #17 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Coffee is okay and I do bring the International Delight singles on every cruise with no problem. I take them out of the box and in a Tupperware container so they don't get squished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a boxed Malbec that is pretty decent. If you bring boxed wine it will have to be the equivalent of two 750 ML bottles so 1.5 litres. Assuming there are two of you travelling. I will not personally attest to having been able to do this, but I have read other posts where people said they were allowed to do this.

I found a boxed Malbec that is pretty decent. Just so you know, it doesn't matter if the bottles are glass or plastic. No bottles of any kind are allowed. Only cans or the little individuals. Wouldn't want you to get there and be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizergal70 Posted September 17, 2017 #25 Share Posted September 17, 2017 The ship's free coffee is fine if one isn't a coffee snob. If you are one, feel free to buy coffee from the coffee bar. It's your money. Yes, you can bring coffee creamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
