We cruised princess last month out of Ft Lauderdale and they made us come down to the security area and open my wifes suitcase. They thought her hair dryer was a Kettle...

Rare chemmo Posted May 28 #6 Share Posted May 28 All Celebrity ships have a few kettles on them. We have requested and received a tea tray set up when in a suite world wide. 22 minutes ago, asctony said: I guess people who cruise out of the US don't know how to use a kettle? On the ship we prefer our own tea made in our room so even if they can use a kettle they don’t always know how to make tea! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, It was on the Independence out of Southampton and a US table companion said he didn't know what a kettle was. I remember asking 'what do you call the thing you boil water in' but I cannot remember the reply. Regards, Cublet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 20165 Posted May 28 #9 Share Posted May 28 Curious, when sailing out of the UK, do they have both coffee pots and kettles or do they replace the coffee pots with kettles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted May 28 #10 Share Posted May 28 AFAIK, Celebrity does not supply coffee pots in state rooms, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckeyeMark Posted May 28 #14 Share Posted May 28 (edited) Just off the Apex. Very nice kettle in the room, along with a nice selection of teas. However, we noted that just saying the word "kettle" caused spontaneous fires to break out all over the ship. When we plugged the kettle in to actually use it - well, the ship sank immediately with all hands. Kettles = danger!

lovetoholiday Posted May 28 #15 Share Posted May 28 Also just off the Apex. Beside the kettle there is a collection of different teas but no coffee. When I asked my steward for some coffee she said that they were not given any coffee for the cabins, but I could get the sachets from the buffet and she could give me some creamers. Which is what I did. They obviously think Brits only drink tea 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyman Posted May 28 #16 Share Posted May 28 Until Americans learn to extend their pinkies when holding a tea cup they can’t be trusted with a kettle 😉. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare lorimay Posted May 28 #20 Share Posted May 28 The room steward has been happy to provide a kettle for me on all of the Celebrity ships I've been on. Not all lines are the same - I couldn't get one on my recent Regent Grandeur cruise and Oceania doesn't provide them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critic2023 Posted May 28 #21 Share Posted May 28 I was just on the Apex out of Southampton and yes, there were kettles in the room. First time I've ever seen that on Celebrity (and I loved it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ergates The Ant Posted May 28 #23 Share Posted May 28 Just off Apex, confirm that there was a kettle and a selection of tea bags etc in our room. Tea bag brands ranged from ?Bigelow, but also Tetley. More varieties were available in the buffet, plus sachets of painfully sweet hot chocolate powder. Horrid little glass cups though, so we brought a couple of china mugs down from the buffet to use. The buffet also had little metal teapots for tea making, so we also ‘borrowed’ one of those to use in our room. Meant we could make our tea properly with boiling water. I did see people making tea in the buffet by putting the water in the pot first, then choosing and unwrapping the tea bag before dangling it into the water. Not the way I’d like it.

Chanbre Posted May 28 #24 Share Posted May 28 The buffet drink stations have milk. We have taken cups of milk to our cabin for our tea. I think we found small milk jugs on one cruse. We prefer real milk in tea and coffee rather than the stuff supplied in the little plastic pots, plus I like a lot of milk in my drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
