Believe those are coffee w/cream pods. I recall when Nespresso released them there were three different flavors. With this I then suspect you work them just  like the other offerings. 

There are Nespresso pods that have flavorings, but I don't recall any that have some sort of cream flavoring, but regardless, they work just the same.

Thanks for the response. I remember the pods were in Italian so I was guessing at what crema meant.

I have a tip for those who dislike coffee pods.For extra counter space have the coffee machine removed. The staff will be more than happy to oblige.

Here is the link to them: https://www.nespresso.com/es/en/barista-creations-cafe-con-leche

 

 

The pods in this link do not have cream in them.  They are coffees that go well with milk.  That's what they were created for - but they are just coffee.  Lighter perhaps?  My sister loves them because she always puts steamed milk in hers.

You can also contact the World Cruise Desk or "Tellus" pre-cruise requesting it be removed, so the Cabin Steward removes it while making up the cabins.

Confirm.  On 10 Ocean cruises we've never seen any cream pods.  Just non-flavored regular caf and decaf coffee pods.   9 of the cruises (including the one we just got off of) had decaff #10 pods and regular #4 pods (the exception had regular #6 pods).  We like strong coffee (#8 and above) so we always bring several sleeves of Nespresso pods with us (and none make it home!).

 

We don't use cream, but I would assume you'd have to bring your own pods or ask room service for cream.   We don't do flavored coffee, but again you could bring your own flavored Nespresso pods.

@CCWineLover... This seems like a good spot to ask and confirm that the machines Viking have in their cabins are still the original machines, using the original pods and not the newer Vertuo machines? As you've recently sailed. 🙂

Yes, original pods, not Vertuo (sp).

In Italian, doesn’t “crema” refer to the foam on the coffee? Just guessing here.

Yes that was my understanding too.
