Rare chasinraynbowz Posted April 2, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I will be on the Pearl in August and thought I saw pictures of a coffee maker in balcony cabins. Is this correct? Do they supply coffee? I ask because of all this talk of room service charges. We always order coffee in the mornings thru room service before heading to breakfast. I don't want to pay $8 for coffee. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted April 2, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 2, 2015 They still do, up to last Saturday, on our Breakaway cruise, for free w. coffee (CLR Roaster, name of brand) & setup - being the test platform for NCL - subject to change w/o notice, of course ... Sorry about being non-specific for the Pearl. Have a nice cruise ;) ** We always travel with an insulated mug (rated to 160 deg. F after 6 hours) & our preferred branded coffee 3-n-1 mix.

din2play2 Posted April 2, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Was wondering the same about the Gem. If they don't, can you ask your Steward to bring you one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger001 Posted April 3, 2015 #9 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I take my own coffee and filters now. And in 15 NCL cruises (balconies and minis) we've always had a coffee maker. On the Getaway, it was a single cup thing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cage keeper Posted April 3, 2015 #10 Share Posted April 3, 2015 First morning I made coffee and it was awful as most reported. A couple of days later I made it again using leftover bottled water. It was good coffee. I'm guessing the water from the bathroom is not filtered. So if you want coffee in your cabin I suggest bringing some bottled water.

Most likely your coffee machine had not been used by the previous occupants. We always give ours a run through with just water before making a brew.

I know we have never had, what I would call awful coffee in the cabin.I am not a coffee snob, so maybe I just don't know the good stuff, but if it is hot, fresh and has a little caffine in it, I am fine.

Phyllis Flipflop Posted April 4, 2015 #20 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I'm one of those pesky tea drinkers that don't like coffee and even at a push I can't use a teabag in hot water that's gone through the coffee machine. Is it worth thinking about taking a small travel kettle or are there alternatives? It's possibly a little OTT to drag a kettle all the way from Scotland. :eek: I'm in a B6.

I don't want to pay $8 for coffee. :cool: The room service charge right now is only on the Breakaway and Getaway. I doubt it will be fleet wide by August. Also the charge is UP TO $7.95 not a flat rate $7.95 for everything. So I would think coffee would still be complimentary, or just a very small charge.

My DH is also a tea drinker. I will suggest bringing your own tea bags. Didn't matter where he got tea, dinning room, buffet, cabin, he thought it was awful. The coffee makers are those little pod things and easy to clean to get rid of the coffee taste. But tea bags are bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
