donnam504 Posted April 22, 2010 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Question regarding coffee/tea service ensuite in JR Suite for anyone who has sailed on Freedom in 2010... Is the coffee/tea service in the JR suite set-up similarly to what you would find in a hotel? What brand coffee/tea do they offer ensuite? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted April 22, 2010 #2 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Yes, it's similar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uktraveller Posted April 22, 2010 #3 Share Posted April 22, 2010 We had an entertaining time using the coffee maker.:) The machine only makes one cup at a time but the coffee sachets were huge and would have been sufficient for a 6-8 cup machine:confused: . We will be in a JS again in a few weeks time so are hoping to have a bit more success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eal Posted April 22, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 22, 2010 haha! Same thing happened to us. Couldn't quite figure out how to do it. We were on vacation, found it too frustrating, called room service instead!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted April 22, 2010 #6 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Who wants that mess in the cabin? Room service will bring you a huge, insulated pot...much easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieva Posted April 22, 2010 #7 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I'm sorry to hear that this is still a problem-wrong size coffee provided to use with the one cup pot. If this is the case on my next cruise I'm going to take the pot along with the huge pod of coffee grounds to the Purser's desk and politely ask them to show me how to use it. And I'm going to bring some of the right size pods with me just in case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be in a JS again in a few weeks time so are hoping to have a bit more success. As of November, Radiance didn't have the coffeemakers in the JS cabins, just the tea kettles. We'll see tomorrow whether she does.:D But I agree that it's a mess - we make a cup of coffee and boil some hot water. Then we put half the coffee into the other mug and add hot water so it's drinkable. But I always spill, so I need to get extra washcloths from my cabin steward. This time we're bringing the Starbuck Via (single serve instant coffee). It's pretty good stuff, and will be a lot easier for everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's the same problem. Huge full size pod for a one cup maker. At this point, the coffee set up is just desk clutter. It probably is great for making a cup of tea though....just run water through it to make hot water for the supplied tea bags. Gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffinater Posted April 22, 2010 #10 Share Posted April 22, 2010 On our last Mariner cruise (JS) we took the coffee maker and the stuff that goes with it and stuck it in the nooks and crannies for the duration of the cruise. Gave us some more counter space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
