poppies1 Posted January 20, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I love my early and late cuppa , are the stateroom facilities good? Fridge? Electric kettle etc? Are cruisers able to get fresh milk? On Star Princess 25 Feb. Have cruised with Holland America Alaska -Oosterdam Star Cruise Singapore-Hong Kong _Gemini P & O San Francisco- Auckland -Oriana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted January 20, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Best to research this on the Princess board. The cruise line won't allow much of anything that will be a fire hazard in your cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishywood Posted January 20, 2013 #3 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Other than NCL, no US-based cruselines have in-room kettles. Some RC and Celebrity ships add them when cruising out of the UK, but never when in the US. The easiest way to get a hot(-ish) pot of tea or coffee is through room service. On Princess there is a hangtag to place on your door upon retiring to specify what time you want yours delivered in the morning. If you want milk with your cuppa, easiest way to get it is to ask for cream. (Or vise-versa). As for fresh--depends if you consdier UHT milk "fresh" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted January 20, 2013 #4 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Princess has a mini frig in every cabin. No tea kettle in cabins. Hot water, tea bags, milk, sugar are available 24 hours from room service and at the buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted January 20, 2013 #5 Share Posted January 20, 2013 And please don't take your own kettle. They are a fire hazzard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennyAgain Posted January 20, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Room service hot tea is usually awful. It is a pet hate of mine. The water is often served in a pot that previously contained coffee. You best best is to go to the 24 hour self service area and make a cup of tea the way you want it.

Room service "hot" water is never hot enough to make a decent cup of tea. The water at the buffet is just about hot enough to be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppies1 Posted January 20, 2013 Author #8 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Thanks all, I have decided to take some thermal mugs and can make my tea at the buffet and then relax and drink it on the deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
