I don't know if you are cruising on RCI or are just considering it or are doing research on a number of cruise lines. Each cruise line has its own board (https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/858-categories/). They are invaluable for asking cruise line specific questions. Considering and doing research. Thank you!

I will put cold water in it if it's too hot. Same here. I just don't understand how people don't burn their mouth from it being so hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can fill in the information for Princess ships: coffee from free room service is available 24/7 and on most ships there is an International Cafe (or similar) with specialty coffees and teas plus pastries, panini, salads, gelato (only on certain ships), etc. available at appropriate times of the day (i.e. at 5 am it is probably just pastries but I wouldn't know because I haven't been up that early on a cruise ship 😀). The coffees and teas require purchase with a coffee card while the pastries, paninis, and salads are free: https://www.princess.com/ships-and-experience/food-and-dining/beverages/ https://www.princess.com/html/global/personalizer/ssv/beverages/coffee-physical-card-disclaimer/ Enjoy your researching! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I wonder if the machine itself would be considered safe in cabins. PS I don't need coffee that much. I seriously doubt it. DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Hlitner Posted August 17, 2019 #31 Share Posted August 17, 2019 My suggestion is that you cruise on Princess :). Their fabulous International Café is open 24/7 and not only has small batch freshly brewed coffee (for a small fee)...but some decent donuts and snacks (no extra cost).

evandbob Posted August 20, 2019 #33 Share Posted August 20, 2019 The older I get, the harder it becomes for me to party all night till 5AM. Over 50 cruises and I've yet to stay awake all night and then get to see a sunrise.🤨😏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the brands make pods where the part that holds the coffee is like teabag, rather than the plastic cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplelife Posted September 14, 2019 #36 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I, too, am generally an early riser, and it takes only the first morning to locate your fellow coffee drinkers. On one of my early RCL cruises, we discovered an out-of-the-way coffee station with hot coffee very early. On Carvival Magic they serve an early riser continental breakfast in Ocean Plaza, on the Promenade deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed that listed on the back page of the 'Fun Times' and have often wondered IF any body did show up. I'd wake up and thought about heading down BUT I know my wife isn't interested because she sleeps till 10-10;30 which to me is almost lunch time. We've got an Christmas cruise coming up and I think I might just see how good the coffee is 😁. All by myself, of course. Hopefully there will be some dedicated coffee drinkers who will greet me.
