jbcallender Posted November 3, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 3, 2022 We have a cruise coming up on SPIRIT in ten days and I was wondering what model nespresso machines are in the Penthouse Balcony rooms. I would like to take some pods with me and want to make sure I get the right model pods. I have keurig at home, so don't know much about Nespresso. Many thanks!

dandelpino Posted November 3, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) I don't have personal experience with Spirit, but on the Breakaway and B+ class ships they have a Nespresso Citiz machine and use the "original" (Nespresso's nomenclature) pods. Basically, not the Vertuo pods. In this video at 2:25, you can see the machine on Spirit and it's a Citiz just like Breakaway.

Rare scooter6139 Posted November 3, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) What flavors/types does NCL use in these Nespresso machines? Coffee only? Any tea? (wife only drinks decaffeinated) On the Joy in December, so need to know if I should order any. Edited November 3, 2022 by scooter6139 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They offer Tea Forte teas in cabin as well. You can either run the nespresso machine (without a pod) to make hot-ish water or you can ask the butler for a pot of boiling water.

jbcallender Posted November 3, 2022 Author #10 Share Posted November 3, 2022 So I gather that you can only get an espresso from the machine? I can't make a cup of coffee with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ristretto. 25 ml. Espresso. 40 ml. Lungo. 110 ml. Edited November 3, 2022 by scooter6139 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russiamomm Posted November 3, 2022 #13 Share Posted November 3, 2022 We were in the Haven on the Joy in September. The pictures are accurate. They use the original Nespresso pods. That being said, I would not bring your own pods. They will give you as many as you want. Just tell your butler on the first day. We had more pods and creamer than we’d ever use every day. It was fabulous! One of the best perks of these cabins! The coffee is delicious. And the pods are expensive. I have a Nespresso at home that I use every day. The best price I’ve found is around 70 cents per pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorif Posted November 3, 2022 #14 Share Posted November 3, 2022 At home I often enjoy a large mug of coffee, but after having the Nespresso on the ship I bought a machine the month we were home. Now I will mix it up depending on what is best at the time. As others said, don't worry about bringing pods they will have decaf as part of the selection.

I need full octane! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff, traveling this week, but wife knows all about the machines (must be all those years at Barney’s, Starbucks and Macys). The last three cruise, we had them and she made coffee every day. We were in Haven, so she was able to get just about any kind of flavor coffee pod. I’ll get back to you on what she says in a few days, Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll get back to you on what she says in a few days, Al Ha, looks like I’m wrong. Just talked with wife and it is just a shot machine. Seems she was getting steamed milk from the butler every morning and was making lattes for herself, and ordered my coffee at the same time. If you’re in a penthouse unit, just order a large coffee delivered to the stateroom every morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize these were the types of espresso in each pod. I knew the different colors meant one was weaker, strong, and decaf. I stayed away from the bronze ones as I believe this was the decaf one. It better have been or I'll be mad at myself (and Nespresso for not labeling more clearly)! I don't believe in decaf coffee at all. The butler just said the blue one was a bit weaker and the black one was stronger. Do either of you know which color really does relate with the shots you've mentioned? Thanks so much! 17 hours ago, BirdTravels said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Educated guessing here, as I am looking at the Nespresso site to compare the looks/colors: Black - Ristretto Italiano (Powerful and Contrasting) Blue - Tokyo Vivalto Lungo (Flowery and Complex) Gold - Volutto Decaffeinato (Sweet and Light) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
