CptBoatface Posted February 16, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Have been drinking way too much coffee for 25 years. 2 pots a day. On the norwegian bliss Mexican riviera cruise the coffee was...not...so, well, blissful. Helped me drastically reduce my coffee intake and I've now been drinking about 3 cups a day for the last month. Sleep is better, saving money and I'm far less twitchy. No other attempts to cut back or quit have worked before Food was great, however! Will recommend to anyone. But maybe spring for a Starbucks 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the taste and would not even eat coffee ice cream. I used to drink about a cup a year and run around like a speed freak, but I cut down. DW, on the other hand, seems to be addicted to decaf. Since the caffeine is the addicting ingredient, I do not understand that. But hey, what man ever understands a woman.😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complawyer Posted February 16, 2022 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2022 i dont drink coffee as a rule, but if i order a frappuccino at starbucks i usually ask for an extra shot of espresso. also after a meal out, breakfast or dinner, i will usually order a cappuccino. especially on a cruise. go figure!

Drews_Cruise Posted February 16, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Cruise coffee is what got my DW started on coffee. She hated it but loves the Cappuccino and has one every morning and evening on a cruise. She comes home and it stops. I always had to buy a coffee card on Princess but now it comes with most packages on Princess, Celebrity and NCL . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aubreyc1988 Posted February 16, 2022 #5 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I've never *loved* the drip coffee on cruise ships, but what surprised me was that recently it is impossible to get a coffee at the bars. They make alcoholic coffees, but would refuse to give me one without the alcohol last time I sailed, which makes no sense imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ja2nowak Posted February 17, 2022 #11 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I have casino drinks so always order my espresso there as well as any other coffee drinks. I tip a couple of bucks for the extra hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the originals. I have the Vertuo Nespresso at home, which is also very good. But, the ones in the Haven make good coffee, too....actually better than the French press coffee in the Haven Restaurant (which tends to be bitter). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
