Krazy Kruizers Posted October 3, 2010 #4 Share Posted October 3, 2010 The hot chocolate is the instant type -- comes in a package -- you add the hot water and/if you want milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondoggie Posted October 4, 2010 #5 Share Posted October 4, 2010 One of my favorite memories from our 2001 Statendam Alaska cruise was when I was sitting outside one morning on the promenade deck, reading and enjoying the gorgeous scenery all by myself. A steward appeared, completely unasked, and presented me with a cuppa hot chocolate. Now THAT's service from HAL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liv4cruzin Posted October 4, 2010 #6 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I'll never forget back in the mid 90's on the Statendam in the Baltic........REAL hot chocolate. None of this powdered stuff. It came out of a large silver coffee urn looking thing; & it was to die for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Ellen Posted October 4, 2010 #7 Share Posted October 4, 2010 If you get the hot chocolate in the Lido, as others have mentioned - no charge. However, if you get hot chocolate at the Explorations Cafe - there is a charge. On Vista ships, such as you are sailing, in the Lido there is a hot chocolate machine. It is similar to a coffee machine in that you place your cup under the spout, press the button, and hot chocolate is dispensed. If the machine isn't working, then the packets of the powder are available. As a hint - when I've needed to use the packets for DH's morning hot chocolate, I don't use the hot water. I head over to the Eggs Benedict station and the kind crew member there ladles hot milk into the cup where I've put the instant powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeriatricNurse Posted October 4, 2010 #8 Share Posted October 4, 2010 We are sailing on the Westerdam next May to Alaska. Is there a charge for hot chocolate or milk? Nor is there a charge for the delicious "Dutch Pea Soup" that will be served on the bow of the ship as you, hopefully, cruise around Glacier Bay!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvcruisn' Posted October 4, 2010 #9 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I head over to the Eggs Benedict station and the kind crew member there ladles hot milk into the cup where I've put the instant powder. Is the hot milk only available at breakfast at the Eggs Benedict station on Vista ships? I had asked once for hot milk at dinner in the main dining room on one of the cruise ships but was told they didn't have a way to heat up the milk.

Mary Ellen Posted October 4, 2010 #10 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Is the hot milk only available at breakfast at the Eggs Benedict station on Vista ships? I've seen the hot milk at the Eggs Benedict station on other classes of ships too. I don't know if it is only available at breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bepsf Posted October 4, 2010 #11 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Is there a charge for hot chocolate? Only if you order it in the Crow's Nest with a shot of Grand Marnier and whipped cream! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
