The waiter had to run to the buffet to bring the table half/half, very nice and we told him it was ok but why should he have to! Just venting and wondering why this was a problem. Sailing on Oasis in March, hope they have plenty of half/half😊 we had the same experience on Oasis a few years ago. Same result as the waiter seemed more than happy to get some for us.

Generally not available in Europe. From the name I assumed it was half fat milk 🥛... it tasted revolting in my tea! Why would anyone want cream in tea? 🤷♀️ Edited January 16, 2020 by little britain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Drock20J Posted January 16, 2020 #29 Share Posted January 16, 2020 When my wife and I found it difficult last week to find half&Half, we would take our Daughters whipped Cream from her pancakes and use that instead. It made the coffee a little frothy and actually was quite nice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I_r_a Posted January 16, 2020 #34 Share Posted January 16, 2020 > In the US, the fat content of 1/2 &1/2 is between 11% and 18.5%. Unless you buy "fat free" Half & Half. https://motherwouldknow.com/know-ingredients-fat-free-half-half/ Ira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parrotfeathers Posted January 17, 2020 #37 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I noticed the start of halfandhalfgate a couple years ago. Instead of half and half in a creamer container for room service they started bringing those little sealed cups. I love half and half in my coffee and that is what I use at home. I have also noticed in the suite lounges it is now milk offered in the mornings for coffee. So now it is disappearing ship wide. Hmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cublet Posted January 17, 2020 #38 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Hello, Many (very many) years ago there was a chain of coffee houses in the west country with waitresses in pinnies and little hats - like country house maids. Your choice of coffee using beans freshly ground for you, was served with half cream in tiny jugs beside the cup. Regards, Cublet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather have that. 1/2 and 1/2 is the standard at restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also noticed in the Allure suite and Anthem concierge lounge that after the breakfast items are removed, all you are left with is that frothy business available from the coffee machine. Ugh. I have stocked up on cream for my fridge for off hours coffee enjoyment. They used to at least offer the little plastic cups during non breakfast hours. I imagine someone decided the froth was good enough for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danv3 Posted January 24, 2020 #45 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I wonder how much they save by not having half and half easily available? On Explorer last week, the only place I saw half and half was Cafe Promenade. None in the MDR or WJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
