champagne lover Posted August 10, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I believe we will have this in our cabin - what is on it - teabags? coffee sachets? mugs? Just wondered if I should bring anything from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nola26 Posted August 10, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 10, 2015 We don't sail until the end of the month, but if you're particular about something cover your preference and bring it. We prefer herbal tea (mint, lemon, chamomile, etc.) so I'll likely have a few bags. Also peppermint is good for headaches and can soothe a stomach so I keep a couple of bags in my purse or briefcase when I travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bestbudz Posted August 10, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2015 There were mugs, sugar and sugar substitute, stirrers, creamers, teas, and coffees. It is s single cup machine. I did not use it so I don't remember the specifics of what types of coffee or tea were there. There are also two regular glasses and a ice bucket on the tray.

Rare mking8288 Posted August 10, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Here you are - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64025118/2015%20NCL%20BA/IMG20150322_2141%20%281024x768%29.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64025118/NCL%20Cruising%20-%20General/IMG150521_2006.jpg There are packets of hot chocolate mix & choice of English tea bags in the buffet - you decide. If you enjoy tea with honey, bring some in a small container (100 ml or 3.3 oz & you can keep that with your carry-on luggage when flying) We always travel with our own insulated mug and tall hot/cold beverage cup, the ones provided are "small" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missdixie Posted August 10, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 10, 2015 There is single cup regular and decaf coffee, half and half creamers and sugars. I always ask the steward for more regular. They will leave what you need. You can get tea bags and cocoa at the buffet to bring to your cabin. I don't know what kind. Also the ice bucket with glasses. And small mugs.

luvtovaca Posted August 10, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 10, 2015 We also had to ask for more regular packets. Mostly decaf provided, not sure why. No problem getting more though. Yes, the coffee cups are small, but if the machine brewed a bigger cup, the packets would be watered down and not as good anyway. We found them fine, we enjoyed coffee on the balcony every morning we could. If we wanted more, we brewed another cup or two. It was very quick. If you want milk instead of creamer, grab a carton from the buffet. Some have said the frig doesn't keep it cold enough, but ours was fine.

shauncruises Posted August 15, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Do all balcony rooms have the coffee tray or is this a higher-end balcony, i.e. suite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corolla48 Posted August 15, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 15, 2015 You will be able to get "English Breakfast" tea from the buffet which is perfectly ok but if you have a particular favourite bring your own. The tea served in the restaurants will be Liptons unless you make a specific request. Never a big issue but something to consider if tea is important to you ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen_cpa Posted August 15, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 15, 2015 We just got off a Gem balcony cabin today and we had a 4-cup Mr. Coffee. On the tray were the filter pods for the coffee maker (reg & decaf), sugar and all sugar substitutes, tea bags, stirrers, half & half, and 2 mugs. The buffet had an awesome tea selection, I want to say at least 8-10 different types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjkacmom Posted August 16, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 16, 2015 All balcony rooms and above have coffee makers. Depends on the ship - on our Jewel cruise, we had a hot pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusin fools Posted August 16, 2015 #12 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Debating whether to bring my own coffee and filter...I am not a big coffee drinker but love a good cup of coffee in the morning...wasn't crazy about the coffee on the Gem so not sure the coffee on the BA would be any different? Any advice??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjkacmom Posted August 16, 2015 #16 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Some of them (think 4 cup Mr Coffee types) can take a filter and loose coffee. But my response was to the PP who is sailing on the Breakaway, which has pod single serve coffee makers. A hot pot just heats water for instant coffee/tea.

Rare mking8288 Posted August 16, 2015 #18 Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) We travel quite a bit and stay in various hotels & resorts, in addition to cruises - and, worst ... flying - it's difficult to sometimes get a good cup of coffee to our taste. Being frugal travelers, we always bring our own instant mix & stainless steel insulated mug - just add hot water, stir & enjoy (a little Half & Half for extra :D ) Don't matter what the setup in the room is, it's "covered" http://store.starbucks.com/coffee/starbucks-via-instant-coffee/ Kopi luwak coffee - that's a different story (unlike mixing from coffee syrup @ those "chain" coffee bars) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Indonesian_farmer_shows_coffee_beans_already_digested_by_Asian_Palm_Civet%2C_but_before_cleaning_and_roasting.jpg/330px-Indonesian_farmer_shows_coffee_beans_already_digested_by_Asian_Palm_Civet%2C_but_before_cleaning_and_roasting.jpg Edited August 16, 2015 by mking8288 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmmom1962 Posted August 17, 2015 #19 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I was on the Sky I June and no coffee set up in our balcony room. Cruising in two week on Getaway. I hope I will have a nice [emoji477] and tea set up in my balcony room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
