wattmhite Posted April 12, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Does anyone know the brand or where I can buy the Royal Roast Coffee served onboard all RC ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tserface Posted April 12, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 12, 2016 On many ships I've been on they've had either Seattle's Best or Starbucks. I don't know about the syrupy stuff, but I'm guessing you wouldn't want that. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruizers Posted April 12, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Does anyone know the brand or where I can buy the Royal Roast Coffee served onboard all RC ships? Seattle's Best, but I don't know which blend it would be. You might be able to get it at Ralph's (in CA) or any other grocery store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyneham1 Posted April 13, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Does anyone know the brand or where I can buy the Royal Roast Coffee served onboard all RC ships? Not too sure why you would want to as it is not very good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfcathorse Posted April 13, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 13, 2016 On some ships they've stopped using Seattle's Best and have started using Lily's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted April 13, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 13, 2016 The coffee in the dining room is MUCH better than that in the buffet. Room service isn't bad, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted April 13, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 13, 2016 On some ships they've stopped using Seattle's Best and have started using Lily's I think it's Illy's.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted April 13, 2016 #10 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I think it's Illy's.:) If it is Illy's, it is for sale at Bed Bath & Beyond, as well as Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyneham1 Posted April 13, 2016 #11 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I think it's Illy's.:) Illy coffee is very good. It's unfortunate that they have to use UHT milk on board as that totally ruins the taste of the coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted April 13, 2016 #12 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) I think it's Illy's.:) Still laughing.....We have an Illy espresso machine Y2....and use their Keurig cups. I am a pretty heavy coffee snob and I consider the coffee at Promenade cafe not bad at all...of course we prefer the machine in Diamond lounge but we can hang with the MDR coffee as well. My fave is cappuccino and you can order this in MDR. Its worth the upcharge IMHO. I would never have coffee in WJ though. As far as milk/creamer is concerned, you are incorrect about the UTH milk thing. Edited April 13, 2016 by BecciBoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BecciBoo Posted April 13, 2016 #15 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) Milk in the US is pasteurized and I guess the Aussies object to pasteurized milk but the taste of our milk is wonderful IMHO. Edited April 13, 2016 by BecciBoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGoguen Posted April 14, 2016 #16 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Anyone know if raw sugar is readily available on board? Hubby and I prefer that in our coffe/tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tserface Posted April 14, 2016 #17 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I've seen, and use, the tubinado sugar in the brown packs on many ships. Tom Anyone know if raw sugar is readily available on board? Hubby and I prefer that in our coffe/tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyeilis Posted April 14, 2016 #18 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Milk in the US is pasteurized and I guess the Aussies object to pasteurized milk but the taste of our milk is wonderful IMHO. I object to it, too. Raw milk is amazing, and if you can get it from a trusted dairy (as I can), it changes everything. But from that link above, there is a difference between pasteurization and UHT. From the link: "The heat used during the UHT process can cause Maillard browning and change the taste and smell of dairy products" So, you know, yuck. :) Non specialty Seattle's Best is free, but Starbucks is for pay--need a small loan. LOL FWIW unless they put Starbucks in the brewed coffee pots, at the espresso stands that "proudly serve Starbucks" beans, you can't get a brewed coffee. You can get an americano, but if you ask for a cup of coffee they'll point you to the free urns of brewed coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milk in Australia is also pasteurized (and tastes great) - that is a different thing to UHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted April 15, 2016 #20 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Yes, I used to make my own butter from milk from a dairy in our area back in the day...as I was saying the ship has just plain old pasteurized milk and it tastes good not brown or yucky....just sayin... and the cappuccino is great. For obvious reasons they can't serve raw milk on a ship.... Edited April 15, 2016 by BecciBoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
