Bishop Geils Posted October 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2018 So I'm on a RCCL ship in a few weeks and I'm thinking of bringing my own ground coffee. I'll have the drink package so I should be able to get premium coffee at the coffee bar. I was planning on walking up to the coffee bar with just enough ground coffee each morning and ask them to make me a mug with my own grounds. What do we think ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted October 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I DOUBT theyd do it, take a french press as well then all you need is boiling water to make your own coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Shoes Posted October 18, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Ah, no. Are you planning on bringing the filter and cone for a pour over? Just buy the coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mom says Posted October 18, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Not much. I doubt they would accept an unknown (to them) substance and then place it in their coffee maker. I agree with Gut. Bring your own French press if you must have your own coffee grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisiamc Posted October 18, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I think you’ll have more success with this project if you plan to bring a caffettiere or filter brewing cup with you. Then you can just get hot water and make your own coffee. As a plus, you can ask room service to bring you hot water and make your coffee in your cabin if you wish.

Surely you don’t think they are going to take “grounds” from a passenger and put it in a coffee maker that is used for all other passengers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlp20 Posted October 19, 2018 #8 Share Posted October 19, 2018 No, they will not use your grounds, you can't bring a coffee maker (nothing that creates heat is allowed) and the "hot" water provided is no where close to the temperature needed to brew coffee.

The hot water in the buffet seems just about adequate for coffee, although not nearly hot enough for a good cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

port msp Posted October 19, 2018 #12 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I doubt they'd use your coffee in their machine. If you really need "your" coffee, and I kinda get that, look into the pour over/drip filter setups. There are insulated mugs that also have a french press mechanism. A search on REI.com came up with lots of options. Then all you'll need is hot water. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted October 19, 2018 #13 Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) What do I think? I think it a very bad idea and likely to be refused. Do NOt BRING any h eating device,, they are a fire hazard on cruise ships. Edited October 19, 2018 by sail7seas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted October 19, 2018 #14 Share Posted October 19, 2018 No one has suggested bringing a heating device... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted October 19, 2018 #15 Share Posted October 19, 2018 There is a certain logic that could lead to the 'brilliant' idea to bring a heating device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagittarius traveler Posted November 4, 2018 #16 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I’m thinking about my next cruise I’ll bring my own instant coffee packages and cocoa because my little one loves waking up early morning with me to drink “coffee” that’s a good idea to bring your own (just make sure it is instant).

You would have to rely on whatever hot water you could get from the buffet to use for either as there are no heating elements in the staterooms (certain suites may provide a small prepackaged coffee maker) nor are any allowed to be brought on board. Not a very effective way to do what you want IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted November 4, 2018 #18 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Since the OP mentioned RCCL there's an implication that all posts in this thread are regarding RCCL. @Sagittarius traveler didn't mention the line they're on. Some lines now furnish a kettle in the cabin - Cunard for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So perhaps Sagittarius traveler will return to the thread and confirm their intended cruise line to be certain of a more specific response.

If not, pack a thermos to get hot water from lido the night before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted November 5, 2018 #24 Share Posted November 5, 2018 They will not use your grounds in their machine. If you can't do with the provided coffee for a week....well, I don't know what to say about that. I like my coffee in the morning...and that's about it. I find the dining room and room service coffee to be MUCH better than the buffet coffee. One week...I can deal with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K32682 Posted November 6, 2018 #25 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) Why so much drama about the question? With a French press or a Melitta-type pour over brewer all the OP would have to ask for is water that is boiling or close to it similar to what is provided for tea. No one would raise an eyebrow if a passenger brought his/her own tea. Edited November 6, 2018 by K32682 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
