Empress Owners Suite Coffeemaker and Bottled Water

[mooline]

Hi all,

 

The only thing I love more than greeting sunrise on a cruise is greeting sunrise on a cruise with my coffee in hand. Looking forward to doing that on my upcoming Empress sailing.

 

We're in an OS and judging from he photos I've seen, it looks like there is an in-room coffeemaker. Yay! Can someone tell me what kind of coffee packs it takes? They appear to be the single cup filter packs with the plastic tray, but I can't tell for certain. Also, if you know, will the room steward provide us with as many packs as we need, or just a couple per day.

 

Also in the photos that I've found of the suite, I see small bottled waters in addition to the tagged Evian bottles . Are bottles of water provided for suite guests on Empress? We're happy to drink water from the dispensers, just wonder if we need to bring our own containers, or if there will be bottles to refill.

 

Any help is much appreciated - and I will lift a cup of coffee in your honor on day 1. :)

 

Thanks so much!

Yes, there is a coffeemaker in the OS, it uses single-serve filter pods (not K cups). Sorry to say however, it was horrible.

(at least horrible compared to Keurig machines I'm used to)

All is not lost though! There is also a hot water kettle, and thinking ahead (I actually got the tip here on CC)

I brought my own Starbucks Via instant packs and used that from then on.

 

Also yes there were 2 small bottles of water, I'm not completely sure if they were a Diamond perk or a Suite perk but I'm going to guess it's a normal suite thing.

 

Empress is a fantastic little ship with big style! Enjoy your cruise!

I liked it so much I booked two more sailings soon as I got home! :D

Awesome, thank you so much. Really appreciate the quick reply, the great suggestions and wonderful endorsement of the Empress.

You can get glasses of ice water from ANY bar or eating venue (or, from your cabin!)....so refilling bottles isn't really needed! Just ask for a glass of ice water when you want one!

Thanks so much for the reply. I understand that we can get glasses of water, but are so accustomed to having a bottle of water with us wherever we go. Just trying to plan ahead. Appreciate the reply and reminder. :)
