Rumncoke Posted June 19, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I searched and think I know the answer, but is it true there are no coffee makers in the cabins? Specifically Carnival Magic balcony. Say it ain't so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumncoke Posted June 19, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Okay, if this is the case, does everyone just order room service, and if so, are they prompt and/or arrive on schedule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyotravel Posted June 19, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Either order from room service (for light breakfast and coffee can put on door the night before to deliver), or go to Lido or buy coffee at specialty coffee stand. Room service has been hit or miss for me as to if it is slow or on time. Have also been completely forgotten before. Calling room service can be a nightmare so advise to do it ahead.

Garth2 Posted June 19, 2019 #5 Share Posted June 19, 2019 And no, don't bring a coffee maker. I'm pretty sure appliances are not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MauiWowie57 Posted June 19, 2019 #7 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Just call CCL and ask the question specifically about your ship and cabin's furnishings. I assured my DW on the last cruise that the Paradise would have a hair dryer; she called - they didn't - and told her to bring one. She did (they didn't confiscate it). Turns out they DID have one in the room (!!!). Perhaps in some suites there's coffee (Keurig) machines - HAL has them in their suites - but generally ships try to avoid putting heat (fire) generating appliances in staterooms. The irons (and ironing boards) are 'hard wired' in the laundry rooms, and controlled by timers as an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplephenom Posted June 19, 2019 #8 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Any time we've used room service, they've been early. Not way early, but maybe 5-15 minutes. I've never had them be late, but we do put the card out and ask for delivery fairly early on port days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProgRockCruiser Posted June 19, 2019 #9 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Carnival does not have any coffee makers in the cabins, including no Keurigs in the suites. JH has fielded a few "questions" over this issue, and it seems Carnival has no intentions of altering that policy. My wife requires a couple of mugs of coffee to get going in the morning, so I traipse up/down to the Lido deck to grab a few mugs of it (we bring a small tray, which helps a lot!). One of these days I'm going to go to the coffee bar instead...just wish it was faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted June 19, 2019 #10 Share Posted June 19, 2019 We bring a thermoses to the Lido deck, we find the coffee better and hotter then room service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterbean1000 Posted June 19, 2019 #13 Share Posted June 19, 2019 We put our coffee order outside on the doorknob every night. They ask you to choose a time frame. We ask for 7am to 7:30am. They are always on time. We use this as our "wakeup" call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMQueenie Posted June 19, 2019 #14 Share Posted June 19, 2019 NCL has them in balcony cabins. Just about every hotel/motel has them. They shut off automatically, not sure how dangerous they actually are. I would think they would save a lot of money but not having people call room service! I would LOVE a mini coffee pot in my cabin! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted June 20, 2019 #15 Share Posted June 20, 2019 me too, we always bring a bag of good coffee even to hotels, then go to the breakfast place and get some real 1/2 and 1/2 creamers, hate the powdered chemical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWolver672 Posted June 20, 2019 #16 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) We always bring our insulated travel mugs with us. I get up before my wife so I take the mugs, go down to the Lido and fill mine and wander around for a while. Then when I think she may be up, I fill both and take them to our cabin. If she's still asleep, the mugs keep her coffee hot until she does wake up. The nice thing about the mugs is you can use them for ice tea or lemonade during the day and it stays cold.

Decaf? How many? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar in MDR. They just put it in smaller pots to serve you. We (I) grab the Java Café coffee in the morning and bring it back to the cabin. But I do refills out of the Lido or Ocean Plaza urns. Love Chemix brewing at home with good small farms, locally roasted, coffee but too messy to handle on ship. Have seen French Presses on board, using the hotter water from the Lido Urns versus room service. Where the grounds go or how they clean those pots up is beyond me.

It was your basic hotel style single cup coffee maker. Not the best coffee but it was good enough to drink while sitting on the balcony in my p.j.s! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that they are my "wakeup" by a nice gentle rap on the door and when answering is ALWAYS the nicest deliverer with piping hot coffee and whatever I've ordered. I write "Splenda" and also "liquid cream" on my door hangers and have never had them not deliver those as well. I have had them come a few minutes early, but never late.

The one thing I'll disagree on is that the coffee is not piping hot. But it will at least get us through until we get to breakfast. ☕ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbethel11 Posted June 20, 2019 #23 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Pardon my confusion, but I heard people say that they bring Keurig Pods onboard? My father enjoys Dunkin Donuts' coffee and the Dunkin Donut's pods would suffice. How would the coffee be assembled without a coffee maker?

quickrate Posted June 20, 2019 #24 Share Posted June 20, 2019 We bring our own coffee with a coffee press. I try to book on Lido so I can get hot water with our Yeti cups. I also bring our own organic cream. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
