Nespresso machine

[Russiamomm]

Hi everyone.  I know that only the Haven cabins have a Nespresso machine.  Does anyone know if I can request one if I’m in a lower grade cabin? I have one at home and have become quite fond of that little machine.  I’m happy to bring my own pods.

I would very much doubt it as, if they did, everyone would want one!!!   I doubt that you would even get a simple tea/coffee maker if you were not in a category that gets them.  

They will tell you that coffee is FREEly available

Nope. YOu will have your Hamilton Beach coffee maker in your stateroom. Your room steward will refill the pods. Enjoy.

To what lower level are these automatically in the cabin?

thank you both.  I figured that was the answer.  I’m a bit of a coffee snob and don’t care for those little hotel-like coffee makers.  The last two trips on NCL I was in a studio and loved having that espresso maker in the lounge.  This time I’m in a club studio and a balcony (B2B) and will have the little drip machine. I think my Starbucks bill will be much higher this trip!

I think it’s balcony and above but I may be wrong.

I would suspect that only Suites (the S category on some smaller ships and Joy) and Haven would have them.  I did wonder if the Club Balcony suites  might have them but it doesn't appear so.

I’m in a Club Balcony.  I have the regular coffee maker, but not a Nespresso.  😒

Yeah, as I thought.  Sorry.  Have you tried their French Press coffee; it's my favourite as I don't care for espresso.  Oh well... things may change, I'll cross my fingers for you.  There's always Starbucks, right?

Indeed.  There’s always Starbucks!  I’ve also found that a shot of Kailua or Baileys also makes the buffet swill drinkable.  😂

Yup, my late DH loved his coffee so he'd have his with a shot of whiskey....Irish Coffee was his go to..

The right use for whiskey!!!   VBG.     A waste of the Single Malt that I drink!!!

yup.  Can’t live without my coffee.  Coffee in the morning, wine in the afternoon.  😃

@Russiamomm

 

And, I suppose, vodka at night!!

[All-ready2cruise]

Well, there's always a hot Toddy, but that drink doesn't include coffee or whiskey.... oh well.... keeps you warm though... LOL

No. The Hamilton Beach picture above was from a Club Balcony room. Remember, a club balcony is only a balcony room. Not a suite. 

 

For that matter, the Suites "S" on the Joy don't have a butler either. 

 

The Suites "S" on the Joy have the Nespresso. 

[All-ready2cruise]

Thank You @BirdTravels that's what I suspected, so, just to confirm, the only staterooms which would have the expresso machines, will be the S category (Suites) or the Haven category cabins. 

Cheers, coffee in the morning, wine at night.... LOL

Cheers

My favorite little machine.  Since I’ve been working at home my day is a series of trips from the office to the Nespresso machine in the kitchen and back.  😃

These Nespresso machines also make regular coffee and not just expresso.  Does anyone know if it’s really good coffee though?  It seems to me that the French press would be better?

When I have a cold that IS the only time when I would adulterate my single malt!!!   A hot toddy HAS to have whisky in it to do any good!!!

Well, for me, I love French Press, I make it at home, always great coffee.  The only place I've had it on the ship though, is at Le Bistro, not sure where else to get it.  (don't even care if it's an extra charge) anyone?

[Drews_Cruise]

I understood it to be available in the Haven therefore the choice is yours.  I’m just not sure why anyone would want the nespresso machine when they can get the French press there.

Right, however, being from the east coast of ... you know that place ... my father always had rum, so, of course, a hot toddy after a long day fishing out on the Atlantic, a hot toddy was whatever was in the house...lol.

Agreed.

You learn something every day.   I didn't know what you were talking about with your discussion of a French Press.   Thanks Mr. Google.   It is exactly the plunger I use to make my daily coffee!!!
