Hot chocolate

[azgrandmax3]

Is there  a self-service hot chocolate machine in the marketplace on the Princess Discovery? 

[Hello, Newman]

No, there is not.

You can get it at the International Cafe, but there is a charge.  If you have the drink package, no charge.  It used to be one punch on the old coffee card, and I used one up on an Alaska cruise filling kids with hot chocolate.

The good thing about getting it at the IC is there is a bar next to it for a shot of Bailey's or Peppermint Schnapps.

I tried that, but the bartender said I couldn't get the kids drunk.  🙂

 

One idea would be to take some instant and get hot water at the buffet.

That’s what my dad used to do, bring his Nestle packets.

Drip coffee, tea, and hot chocolate (with milk & whip cream) are free on the coffee pkg around the ship (IC, Princess Cafe). Just another reason I trade my minibar for the coffee pkg

If you get hot chocolate at International Cafe ask them to make it with milk instead of water. Much better.

I used to order hot chocolate as my dessert.  Then one cruise I discovered they were charging for it.  No more dessert.  EM

DD tried that on the Sapphire last month and said it was too rich for her.

Wowie Zowie!  Somehow I can't imagine hot chocolate that is "too rich" for me. 🙃

Good question. I'll ask IC

You get free hot chocolate in the dining room.

That is news to me.  Maybe an Alaska cruise thing?

We don't drink alcohol, my husband drinks coffee and I drink hot chocolate.  We are getting the soda packages and he will get a coffee package.  I know my husband can have all the free hot chocolate he wants with the coffee package but he doesn't drink hot chocolate.  Can I purchase a hot chocolate at IC any time I want one?

I ask for it in the dining room for breakfast and dinner.  It comes in a little silver pot like they have for tea.

You can purchase hot chocolate at IC on your account or using soda and coffee package.

Perhaps, if he orders a hot chocolate and you are the one who drinks it, ...

I think you'd get a "funny" look if he ordered a coffee AND hot chocolate!  I don't mind paying for it so no problem.

For some reason I remember a hot chocolate machine, maybe it was Royal Princess, since I like to make a poor man's mocha, filling up have a mug of hot chocolate and then adding coffee. I think I might have to go the coffee card route on Discovery on Monday, since I'm feeling guilty over the 20 or so minibottles of booze sitting on my fridge now and the 8 bottles of rum I brought home using extra OBC on Alaska cruises this summer, carrying them in a duffel bag on my back while riding an electric bike from the pier to my car.

I read the fine print again on the coffee package and.....it will work.  It says the specialty coffees CAN be shared but only the card holder can drink the complimentary brewed coffee and hot chocolate.  So, if I get the package, my husband can have 15 espresso coffee drinks and I can have as many complimentary hot chocolates as I want!!!!!

Really? DH does not drink alcohol or coffee. He says the hot chocolate from the IF is mediocre at best.
