kbh2 Posted September 17, 2017 #26 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I usually get coffee by room service every morning. I bring the small liquid concentrated creamers on every cruise with me in my checked luggage. They seam to have many flavor options. And I think the coffee is decent.

RoperDK Posted September 17, 2017 #27 Share Posted September 17, 2017 LOL.....I thought we were the only ones. I have taken my sugar free hazelnut powdered creamer onboard for years. For us, a container lasts enough for a 7 day cruise. Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultrafighter Posted September 18, 2017 #28 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I live with 3 Starbucks partners (hubby and two daughters) and we drink A LOT of coffee. It'll be weird to buy coffee. They each get a mark out (free product) each week. We haven't bought coffee in 3 years. LOL! My husband is a partner of almost 7 years. High five! We've been building a stash of via coffee and refreshers to bring. On at least one of our first two cruises, we brought a press with us. Haha we're relaxing a little this time.

MastersLevelMama Posted September 18, 2017 Author #29 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Just so you know, it doesn't matter if the bottles are glass or plastic. No bottles of any kind are allowed. Only cans or the little individuals. Wouldn't want you to get there and be disappointed. Great, thank you for the clarity. I would hate to show up and have it thrown out. If you bring boxed wine it will have to be the equivalent of two 750 ML bottles so 1.5 litres. Assuming there are two of you travelling. I will not personally attest to having been able to do this, but I have read other posts where people said they were allowed to do this. Candi This is good news! We extra an extra glass by bringing a box. We are still undecided about getting Cheers but I'm leaning towards it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its terrible, we'll buy coffee. The ship's free coffee is fine if one isn't a coffee snob. If you are one, feel free to buy coffee from the coffee bar. It's your money. Yes, you can bring coffee creamer. I don't think I am a coffee snob but Disney's was like brown sour water, horrible. Hoping Carnival's is better.

Gypsywych Posted September 18, 2017 #33 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Ok cool. I am going to try it. If its terrible, we'll buy coffee. I don't think I am a coffee snob but Disney's was like brown sour water, horrible. Hoping Carnival's is better. Lido Deck coffee is the last resort. It is absolutely vile. Room service coffee is drinkable when it's fresh and hot. The carafes do not keep it hot for long though. Main Dining Room coffee at breakfast is about the same as room service coffee, perhaps a little hotter because it doesn't sit in the carafes. Main Dining Room coffee in the evenings is usually really good. I love the java spot mochas, but I've never had their regular coffee. Hope this helps. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dabaras Posted September 18, 2017 #35 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I have brought a french press and my own coffee in the past. It can be a pain, but so much better than the coffee on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie139 Posted September 18, 2017 #36 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I love the room service coffee. It is strong. I bring a box of sugar cubes and my powder creamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolfndreams Posted September 18, 2017 #37 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I bring along my sweetleaf stevia for sweetness but since I'm cruising and sugar allowed I also always have at least 1/4 cup of the hot chocolate with each large cup of coffee. Makes a perfect mocha. Well as perfect as a mocha will get on lido coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAMOM4 Posted September 18, 2017 #38 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I honestly would rather not drink coffee than to have to drink powdered creamer ... but I know we all are different .... I love the coffee from the coffee bar and thank goodness it is included in Cheers now ... but even when it wasn't I paid $1.50 for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coevan Posted September 18, 2017 #40 Share Posted September 18, 2017 have to ask, what is wrong with Carnival creamers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin13 Posted September 18, 2017 #41 Share Posted September 18, 2017 have to ask, what is wrong with Carnival creamers? They are just plain cream and not flavored! The coffee is too bitter for me so I have to use 2 Hazelnut liquid creamers to make it drinkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor05 Posted September 18, 2017 #42 Share Posted September 18, 2017 have to ask, what is wrong with Carnival creamers? Mainly what's being discussed is FLAVORED creamers such as hazelnut, french vanilla etc. Carnival only has milk and half and half. I too, like the "foo foo" flavored creamers and I buy the individuals at Walmart for less than $5 a box of 24. I bring two because the coffee is STRONG and it takes a few to get the desired flavor. I put them in gallon ziplocks to take up less space and they're protected if one or two bust (has never happened yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfsmith Posted September 19, 2017 #43 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I bring 3 small bottles of coffemate liquid vanilla creamer for a 7 day cruise. they are a dollar at the dollar store. No need to cool until they have been opened. never had a problem getting them on before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultrafighter Posted September 19, 2017 #44 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I went back through the thread and didn't see an answer: for those who bring the individual creamers, do you put them into your carry-on or checked luggage? I like that tupperware idea and will do that regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmdiver Posted September 19, 2017 #47 Share Posted September 19, 2017 why, Carnival has creamers, regular 1/ &1/2 and flavored creamers as well Coevan, where have you found flavored cream? I've only seen unflavored. I would love to have flavored creamers on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxDevil Posted September 19, 2017 #48 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I just got off the Breeze 2 weeks ago, and I ordered room service coffee every morning to enjoy on the balcony. I could never finish the first cup, even with the half and half they brought. My coffee is usually a caramel color but I was making it almost white because the coffee was so bad. Lido coffee was a bit better but not much. I didn't bring my coffee mate individual creamer because people on here said the coffee was fine with their half and half. Lies. I will be bringing my own creamer next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxDevil Posted September 19, 2017 #49 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Oh and not the powdered creamer - that leaves a funky taste in the mouth. They have those small concentrated, flavored creamers that you just squirt in your cup. I've used those before when I've traveled but they're WAY sweet and you won't need sugar.

babs125 Posted September 19, 2017 #50 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I like heavy cream in my coffee--it only takes just a little per cup--so I carry on a small carton and have never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
