woopuppy Posted January 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I have searched the forum and can only find reference to bringing your own coffee grounds on board before the instituted the no beverages brought on board. Does anyone know if they allow the ground to be brought on board in your checked luggage and what about the coffee creamer singles? We are just not a fan of their coffee on board. Thanks.

Rhea98 Posted January 22, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) I don't know if it's allowed (never heard it wasn't), but I and others on my cruises (as recent as Oct and Nov) have brought coffee. Others have brought creamers which I don't use. Be sure to know what type of coffee maker your ship has (unless you carry an Aero press or similar).

woopuppy Posted January 22, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Thanks. We took creamer back in December 2015 with no problem. This is the first time taking coffee. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can bring your own grounds, no problem. But you have been on the Getaway and know that they do not have a drip coffee maker. All single serve pods. You will need to bring your own drip device if you want your own coffee. Edited January 22, 2017 by BirdTravels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopuppy Posted January 22, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Yes I did know what kind they have. I have senseo pods for use in it. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be on The Jewel in 2 weeks, I guess same coffee makers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be on The Jewel in 2 weeks, I guess same coffee makers? I google the coffee maker and it said that the senseo pods will work in the hamilton beach single serve coffeemakers. You can find them on walmart.com. I got 2 packages for under $10 shipped to my local store. They do supply pods we are just not a fan of whatever brand of coffee they use. You do not have to bring your own. Edited January 22, 2017 by woopuppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaperts Posted January 22, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 22, 2017 We always take powdered french vanilla coffee mate, can't speak to liquid tho, surely you could get by with the single serves..... A tip on the buffett coffee: Look at the coffee machines/dispensers, on several ships we have found some have bins on top with beans in them and those machines "fresh grind" the coffee, they are much better than the "non bean" machines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickey_mouse Posted January 22, 2017 #9 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I take it these machines are not compatible with standard K-cups used in Keurig machines. I'm not familiar with Senseo. Is it any good? Worst case scenario, we might pack some Starbucks Vias instant coffee, which are fairly good for instant coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woopuppy Posted January 22, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Years ago I had a senseo machine and did like their coffee. It is better than the ships in my opinion. It is defiantly not Starbucks (which is my favorite!) but it will do for a week. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted January 22, 2017 #12 Share Posted January 22, 2017 It's a flat pod (paper filter) and adequate for a 5 to 6 oz. cup, medium in strength at best - for a stronger brew in a bigger cup and use 2 pods. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FAHPQX8?psc=1 The round filter looks like these, look closely at the picture - the K-cup and/or reusable cup will never fit in that slim slot. The brand used/provided free by NCL was (is) "CLS Roaster" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be on The Jewel in 2 weeks, I guess same coffee makers? No. The Jewel uses a drip coffee maker. Your steward will provide you with a filter bag with grounds that you can use in the coffee maker.

Your question is missing some key information: Which ship, and suites or regular cabins? It makes a difference - not all the ships have the same coffee makers in the regular cabins (as you can see from the responses above) and even the suites on different ships vary between Lavazza and Nespresso coffee makers.

The OP's signature indicated that they were sailing on the Getaway in 41 days, therefore the specifics on the coffee makers used on the Getaway.

Carolina Girl 99 Posted January 23, 2017 #16 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I was able to take the boxed coffee creamer singles on both of my Getaway cruises, even after the no-beverage policy was instituted. I just packed the box in my "checked" luggage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhea58 Posted January 23, 2017 #17 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I, too, hate their coffee so always bring my own since I must drink decaf. On the Gem, it was a small pot that I requested from Housekeeping since it is not placed in the inside/outside cabins. But on the Breakaway it was a single serve pot so I had to purchase a box of filters for a 1-cup pot...and the pot was not good as it leaked the grounds into the cup.

You were able to request a coffee maker for your stateroom? Was there any extra charge? I was just on Pearl and was looking for the "good" coffee maker I have seen people mention in the Great Outdoors cafe, but alas, it seemed to be just like the regular coffee machines in the buffet. I did get coffee one night at Cagney's and it was DIVINE. The best cup of regular coffee on the ship, the waiter who brought it to me said it was from their machine that does freshly grind the beans. The UDP was worth those 2 cups I had! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
