KentuckyKat Posted July 16, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I know there's many varied opinions about cruise ship coffee, but my friend (who just booked a cruise for next Saturday - wow!) has fond memories of the coffee on the Paradise about 10 years ago. She thinks it was Blue Mountain Coffee. Can you tell me if the coffee has changed dramatically since her last carnival cruise? Does Carnival serve Blue Mountain Coffee? Thanks!

As in Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee~?? That would be a big NO~! Coffee on the lido deck is usually to strong and very bitter~ coffee thru room service is not bad~ coffee in the MDR is a step up from room service coffee~~but not jamaican blue mountain quality!

KentuckyKat Posted July 16, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Alliezona09 - Yeah, that's what I figured! Well, there's always mind-over-matter - I think I will just not tell her what people on CC say about the coffee. I'll leave her to her fond memories and see if her mind can overrule the fact of the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truchattycathy Posted July 16, 2011 #4 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Tell her to buy some Blue Mountain and drink it on the ship. LOL I always buy it in Jamaica and give it for gifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alliezona09 Posted July 16, 2011 #5 Share Posted July 16, 2011 lol~ now they do have a latte stand on most ships~ I think the Paradise has one~ of course you have to pay extra for those~ and in the MDR you can get espresso and cappuccino for free~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaCouple05 Posted July 16, 2011 #6 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Pretty sure the coffee that the drink dispensers issue is made from instant or some form of concentrate. It's brewed (mixed?) by the cup for as long as you hold the button down. Definitely not gourmet. The best bet is the espresso in the MDR, other than that, try the coffee shop. Blue Mountain coffee? At over $40 per pound? Not very likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
