Coffee on Conquest

[oceanfreaks]

:D Hello all! We leave on Sunday, (Ya-hooooo!) and I was wondering about the quality of the coffee. We live in the Seattle area and are quite spoiled when it comes to a good cup o' joe.

 

Also, are there coffee makers in the rooms?

 

Gotta have a java!

Thanks!

It ain't Starbucks, that's for darn sure. The dining room coffee is tolerable, and the coffee bar "specialty" drinks (for a charge) are not bad at all.

Absolutely not. But you can get a pot from room service at any time, and there is self-serve available on the Lido deck 24/7.

Blech! That's what I think of Carnival's coffee. I do manage to choke it down but I don't like it. The coffee in the dining room is good but the lido deck and room service coffee are sub-par in my opinion.

I'm smuggling a fistful of flavored creamers, or perhaps a bottle or two of syrup next cruise to ease the pain.

The coffee is pretty bad. The specialty coffee is good, plus it is a little cheaper than Starsucks, plus better quality.

As I type, I am drinking a mocha I made myself with my Gaggia espresso machine. 100% locally roasted molokai beans, Guittard chocolate... hmmm! I don't frequent the local java places (they are not as good as my brew!) but the specialty place on the ship is acceptable.

Thanks for the info...I'll have to steal tef43's idea and smuggle some creamers....

Taste coffee from different areas of the ship. I found the dining room coffee to be a bit better not bitter) then the buffet coffee....Im not saying its great-- it is coffee and it does start my day. No coffee makers in the cabin.

 

Kristi: royal uses Seattles Best coffee. THere is a degree of difference in the coffee on both lines.

OMG! Ask for a specialty coffee or cappa in the dining room after dinner... in Feb there was still no extra charge and they were the best coffees on the ship!

 

Have a fantastic cruise...

Wife and I are looking forward to early morning on balcony. I thought I would order room service at 5:00 am for juice and coffee for two, but am worried that they won't bring enough coffee for two cups each. Should I order two pots or coffee for four? How big is the serving size for coffee through room service on the Pride?:confused:

Put enough Bailey's in it and you can choke it down, add a little irish whiskey and it is really good, drink several cups and it becomes the best coffee you have ever had :D
