Silverspringcruiser Posted January 27 #1 Share Posted January 27 We're taking an Alaskan cruise on QE this summer. Is there complimentary hot chocolate? Packets are fine, because if there isn't we'll just bring our own to use with the kettle in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winifred 22 Posted January 27 #2 Share Posted January 27 There are sachets available in the buffet but there is none provided in the room. I don’t really like the brand Galaxy - Options ones available so I take my own Cadbury ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_P Posted January 27 #3 Share Posted January 27 Theres complimentary hot chocolate you can have brought to you in the morning as part of the complimentary room service breakfast, and it is amazing. Best hot chocolate I've ever had and they bring it in a big metal jug. Im on the QM2 next month and Im already daydreaming about sitting on the balcony drinking that chocolate in the morning.. Im not sure if theres any in the coffee machines in the buffet. Other than that the only hot chocolate is what you can buy in the cafes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NE John Posted January 27 #4 Share Posted January 27 Splurge and order hot chocolate in the CC or Sir Samuel’s. Money well spent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Pushpit Posted January 27 #5 Share Posted January 27 It's not in the buffet / Lido / Kings Court machines, that's coffee, hot water / tea, cold water and some Nescafé Vitaly products (lemonade, fruit cocktail, apple and orange juice) only. But the Sir Samuels / Corinthia indeed have a very superior product for sale. Since tea and coffee can be obtained via the included room service menu, I would have thought that the breakfast hot chocolate would also be available at other times, but it's not something I have tried.

Yes, room service hot chocolate (very nice, served in a classy silver pot) was deffo possible on all of my previous cruises. I had it Breakfast times and also at bedtime sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have it for room service breakfast it just comes in a silver pot. You pour it yourself. There are no extras. As I said before hot chocolate from the late night buffet is just make it yourself with the instant sachets and hot water. I am not sure the bar menu is available as room service. I would imagine you would just get it in a pot ? I have it regularly as a pre breakfast item but don’t do room service during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Victoria2 Posted January 28 #9 Share Posted January 28 The sachets in the buffet, with a little extra milk are very tasty to have on occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare tacticalbanjo Posted January 29 #10 Share Posted January 29 In November on QV the sachets in the buffet had gone and were replaced with glass jars filled with unbranded instant hot chocolate powder. I can't say that the hot chocolate in the Commodore Club tastes much different. I suspect it's probably made with the same instant powder they provide in the buffet.

artvlay Posted January 30 #11 Share Posted January 30 Is the room service hot Chocolate available all day? Also, has Cunard kept room service free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, room service is free of charge, though there are some items that will be charged - alcohol, caviar, special canapé arrangements. It's available all day, and all night, with some restrictions on embarkation and disembarkation days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for it too, but there is no mention of any drinks other than paid for beverages - but it gives an idea what is available from room service for people that unfamiliar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winifred 22 Posted January 30 #16 Share Posted January 30 I am sure you can only get free room service tea, coffee or hot chocolate at breakfast times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rog747 Posted January 31 #17 Share Posted January 31 RE bed time Hot Choc in your Cabin - I just called up Room Service and kindly asked for it and it came, also sometimes came with some shortbread biccies - never seemed an issue for them, but I've not been on board since pre-C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowandaUK Posted January 31 #18 Share Posted January 31 I notice that afternoon cream tea includes clotted cream. I’m sure I read somewhere that they usually have double cream. Clotted cream would be great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the room service afternoon tea once - and you needed to make your own tea using the kettle and teabags already in the room. Perhaps a pot of tea can also be specified.

bluemarble Posted January 31 #25 Share Posted January 31 Not that this helps answer any questions about this topic, but I found it interesting that Cunard have added a post to their facebook page today celebrating National Hot Chocolate Day here in the US to promote their Alaska sailings. Quoting from that post: "Happy National Hot Chocolate Day! We can't wait to have a cosy hot chocolate while sailing around chilly Alaska! Who's joining us? ..." 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
