truffles2 Posted February 3, 2013 #26 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Since their headquarters are right here in Solon, Ohio, I called Nestle's to see where we could purchase it and was told that it is only sold to commercial suppliers.:( I figured as much as I had looked for it here with no success. However, if you have any connections to any establishment that orders from SYSCO, you might find some there. They get a lot of items from SYSCO. I was once able to get a case of Ranger cookies from them.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky0000547 Posted February 3, 2013 #27 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I was on the Indy and hot chocolate was available at Cafe Promenade and Windjammer Cafe. However the packets of hot chocolate were kept behind the counter at Cafe Promenade and you have to ask for them. I only ever once saw the packets of hot chocolate available out at the drink stations at Windjammer. Maybe other times you have to ask as well. Don't know why RCI treats hot chocolate like packets of gold dust and you have to ask for them whereas tea and coffee are readily available.

Since they are not available to the general public in any of our stores, people take them home with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sassy19305 Posted February 4, 2013 #32 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Since their headquarters are right here in Solon, Ohio, I called Nestle's to see where we could purchase it and was told that it is only sold to commercial suppliers.:( DH and I had the same issue with some Sir Thomas Lipton teas that we had on our first RCL cruise. I found a nice coffee/tea stand in town that served it and they were more than happy to sell it to me by the box. If you can find a place in town that serves the chocolate, perhaps they will sell it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunkey1 Posted February 4, 2013 #33 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Here this is the 25th post in this thread, and I am surprised that nobody mentioned that they were maybe at least a bit disappointed that RCCL doesn't have their hot chocolate in those automatic machines like Carnival does. It comes out so nice and frothy. Now keep in mind, I prefer to sail RCCL, and most of our cruises have been on RCCL, but I give the nod to Carnival BIG TIME on this one. Theirs is SO much better, it isn't even close. I agree, it's hard to beat the hot chocolate on Carnival. It comes out of the machine steaming hot and so creamy that you don't even need to add anything to it. As another poster mentioned, it is awesome with coffee though!! If money were no object, I would definitely get one of these machines for my house! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you may want to check if you are close to a factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted February 5, 2013 #35 Share Posted February 5, 2013 The Vision has all night and Early Morning Coffee (made fresh between 4:30 and 5 am) on both sides of the Pool Deck Forward. Port Side is Non-Smoking. Starboard side is Smoking. They also have Hot Water and Hot Chocolate packets and assorted Tea packets and the Tiny Half & Half containers and a pitcher of Milk. Surely, something for everyone! See my Live Post from the Vision last October for photos and info... http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1717252 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anandaindonesia Posted April 13, 2013 #36 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Add 2 packets of Hot Chocolate Mix to a mug and then use the Foamy Milk button on the coffee machine in the CL. :D Thank you for your idea. I can't wait to do it (oooh, still 372 days away!). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted April 13, 2013 #38 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Or make it with coffee instead of water. Yum. I followed your suggestion when we were on Indy a few weeks ago. It was very good. Thanks for the advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyitsmema Posted April 13, 2013 #39 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I followed your suggestion when we were on Indy a few weeks ago. It was very good. Thanks for the advice! Glad you tried it! I like a good mocha but am usually too cheap to buy them on the ship when I can make a close "free" substitute.;):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melozone Posted April 13, 2013 #40 Share Posted April 13, 2013 And if you happen to have a couple of those Andes mints, drop them in. Years ago, we would add Peppermint Schnapps. Very yummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ace1zoe2 Posted April 13, 2013 #43 Share Posted April 13, 2013 For a fee you can get Hot Chocolate at Cafe Lattitudes. On our Canadian cruise they even allowed us to use our BOGO coupons for specialty coffee to get the hot chocolate bit was very tasty!

Merly Posted April 13, 2013 #45 Share Posted April 13, 2013 You can also get it in the diamond club or the concierge lounge, if diamond or above. Don't forget room service also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you sleep without it? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
