josephine678 Posted August 3, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Hi, does NCL let you bring your own tea from home? Yes I know tons on the ship but I like a particular one that I want to be able to make in my cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omahabob Posted August 3, 2023 #3 Share Posted August 3, 2023 You can bring it as long as it isn't already in liquid form. Then request a coffee maker in your room to make the hot water for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoofCat99 Posted August 3, 2023 #4 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I always have a stash of my mom's favorite tea sachets in my suitcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tw0sugar5 Posted August 3, 2023 #6 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Sealed dry tea should be fine. I already packed 3 bags/sachets in my luggage in case I crave the tea I use at home while I’m away. I’m fine with Lipton black tea when it comes down to it. Just spoiling myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday819 Posted August 3, 2023 #7 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I brought my own tea. Hot water in buffet. Or if you dine in the main dining room for breakfast just ask for a pot of hot water at breakfast. You can steep it in the pot at your table.

SoloAlaska Posted August 3, 2023 #8 Share Posted August 3, 2023 It’s also a question of customs depending on where your departing from etc. As already recommended it’s best in a sealed original packaging but also “personal quantities” aka don’t bring enough to supply a store. I haven’t sailed NCL yet but my comments are based on a lot of international travel. If you like loose leaf tea and want it onboard I recommend bringing the fillable teabags from David’s tea (the ones with the drawstring top). Once I’ve crossed customs I’ll open my loose leaf tea and fill a bunch of tea bags. I bring a Stasher bag to hold my filled tea bags in my purse. Also I’ll even have the barista make me a fog with my tea sometimes. I now have a powder which is choco-chai and am going to carry it mixed with water in a little bottle. In a cup of hot water or steamed milk or even cold milk it’s my new favorite drink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkay1 Posted August 5, 2023 #9 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I bring a yeti on every cruise and pack it in my suitcase filled with my favorite tea bags. I've never been asked about it anywhere either. I traveled all over Europe last summer and collected tea bags from different airport lounges, hotels, and basically anywhere I could find it(including the Twinings store in London). I had a gallon size bag of tea in my carry on when I flew home that I continued to enjoy for weeks after my vacation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJim Posted August 5, 2023 #10 Share Posted August 5, 2023 My husband doesn’t even drink decaf anymore. He always packs rooibos herbal tea, and has never had a problem bringing it onboard numerous NCL cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvetwater Posted August 6, 2023 #11 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Yes although I find if we take the best black tea from these Isles the water and uht milk on board make it less tasty than home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLYNAGP Posted August 6, 2023 #12 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Being British I’m fussy about my tea and as much as I’m a huge fan of NCL their tea just doesn't do it for me. So I take my own, usually Yorkshire Tea Bags . I use them in the buffet and take them to O’Sheehan's and ask he waiters to use them for my Tea. They usually say “I’ll bring you hot water” and I have to explain that to make tea properly the Tea bag(s) needs to go in the pot first and the boiling water goes on top. ☺️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
