cjc3008 Posted March 10, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Hi I love my early morning cup of tea so can I get one on the ship or should I bring tea bags and just find hot water. What free drinks are available? Do people decorate cabin doors I know magnets would have to be used. Like many other first timers I am grateful for help as I am taking a TA to begin So know I will need to learn more from this board Thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted March 10, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 10, 2014 You will find tea (iced and hot) and coffee available 24 hours a day at the buffet and via room service. No charge, but a buck or so tip will be appreciated if you get room service. The are also available in all the dining rooms when they are open. Other free beverages: Juice with breakfast milk with all meals water A few decorate their door, but most do not. Doors (and cabin walls) are metal so magnets will stick.

Krazy Kruizers Posted March 10, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 10, 2014 The tap water is free -- bottled water you pay for. We are not among those that decorate our cabin doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spookwife Posted March 10, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Hi I love my early morning cup of tea so can I get one on the ship or should I bring tea bags and just find hot water. What free drinks are available? Do people decorate cabin doors I know magnets would have to be used. Like many other first timers I am grateful for help as I am taking a TA to begin So know I will need to learn more from this board Thankyou assuming Princess does not have kettles in the cabins, there will be hot tea/water available at the buffet pretty much 24/7. if you have a specific brand you prefer, bring it. RS, the hot water comes in the same carafes that coffee does so there is the aftertaste Included in the price: plain coffee, tea, (hot and cold), lemonade. maybe some flavored water. at breakfast from concentrate juice( fresh squeezed OJ will cost) milk(glasses in MDR, cartons in the buffet) I personally do not decorateI don't want to waste the luggage space. some people do to celebrate stuff, others to make it easy to find their door staggering home at 2 am.

cjc3008 Posted March 10, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Hi Thanks for replying. I had not considered there might be a kettle in the cabin so maybe that is another question for the Princess board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissDave Posted March 10, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 10, 2014 No kettles in Princess cabins. Hot water via room service or from the buffet is not hot enought to make decent tea, in my opinion. For decent tea you will need to go the International Cafe to get it, or ask them for hot water. I would take a travel mug/flask to transfer the hot water into (they will not fill your own flask). If you are a coffee drinker then get the coffee card. this gives unlimited brewed coffee, 15 specialtity coffees, and free tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjc3008 Posted March 10, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Thankyou for answering. I am not a big coffee drinker but do occasionally enjoy a speciality one so will look into the card to see if it is worthwhile for me. I will also take your tip to bring an insulated mug.

Cruisin' Chick Posted March 10, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 10, 2014 There's also afternoon tea. The Patter (the daily newsletter you'll get) will list the location and the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John Bull Posted March 11, 2014 #10 Share Posted March 11, 2014 As Swiss Dave's post, no kettles in the cabin on Princess (and bringing your own on any cruise ship is a definite no-no). Can't wait for room service, too mean to buy a coffee card, and the free coffee on-tap at drinks stations is like mud on every ship I've sailed. So I bring my own instant coffee & use the hot water from the drinks station tap (can't understand Spookwife's reference to carafes), or use the sachets of decaff available at drinks stations on some ships, or drink tea. But the tea again by using the teabags/hot water at drinks stations. Room service brings a jug of warm water & teabags, rather than a "pot of tea". And sometimes with a slice of lemon rather than milk. America is so un-refined :D Have tried bringing a thermos & filling it with hot water last thing at night for an early-morning cuppa. But frequently forgot my nightly duties. So I just head for the drinks station first thing in the morning (can't send 'er-indoors first-thing cos she'd frighten the crew ;) ) JB :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjc3008 Posted March 11, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Thank you so much for the comical reply. I will follow your advice too and go hunting for my early morning cuppa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
