ladysail2 Posted February 20, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2009 There was a cordless kettle in my cabin in November during the 4 day cruise. Has someone recently come back from an Independence of the Seas cruise? Was the cordless kettle still in the cabin...I happened to have a balcony cabin. Thanks...

mcca2 Posted February 20, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2009 We were surprised to find kettles in our JR on our recent 4 night Navigator. It was a nice surprise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrishOB Posted February 20, 2009 #5 Share Posted February 20, 2009 If these are available on Freedom and we decide to sail in October, I'm bringing my travel teapot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freedom only has them in junior suites and higher. Indy has them in all cabins because she spends part of the year sailing out of the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dixieva Posted February 20, 2009 #8 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Are these kettles just for hot water for tea or do they also have the glass french press pot so you can make coffee? The pictures I've seen don't show the glass pot just the black kettle for heating water. I'm on the Grandeur in a JS in Oct. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieq Posted February 20, 2009 #9 Share Posted February 20, 2009 it's a small version of a regular electric tea kettle. You still have to get the water to put in it and I am assuming you are using bottled water or getting if from one of the bar areas:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a kettle in our cabin on the independence in December. In January we had a GS on the Navigator and we had the kettle plus the French Press etc. Kathy:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a JS or higher, you have the french press setup in addition to the kettle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieva Posted February 20, 2009 #13 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Thanks a lot for the information. That's great. Now we can make our own coffee in the morning. We had a RFS last year and had the french press and loved it. Once we learned how to use it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladysail2 Posted February 20, 2009 Author #15 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Do they have coffee and tea in the cabin? I can't remember any tea bags, but they had small sachets of Maxwell House coffee, and sealed milk cups. Hint: I did not like the taste of the milk, either in the little cups, or in the Café on the promenade. I will be bringing my own milk from a store in FLL to put in my fridge. I didn't recognize the name on the milk cartons during breakfast in the buffet area, but I presumed (perhaps wrongly) that it tasted the same as the other milk. Perhaps the milk came from Britain where the cows are fed different stuff than here in N. America. I'm so happy to be able to make a cup of coffee whenever I feel like it, in my cabin.

I think cows are fed on different feed farm to farm never mind continent to continent:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherlynn Posted February 20, 2009 #17 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Sorry to ask, but I've read this thread and I still don't know. Does Mariner have the kettles in JS? How about the french press? I just might be willing to try Starbucks new instant coffee or pack some regular coffee for a press. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieva Posted February 20, 2009 #18 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I'm thinking if they provide the french press they will provide the coffee. I hope so anyway. When we had the RFS we had the press and little vacuum packed packages of Seattle's Best coffee, both regular and decaf. I would also like to know if they will provide coffee in the JS along with the french press. I can always bring some of my own coffee but I really think it will be provided.

dixieva Posted February 21, 2009 #20 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Thanks! I loved the Seattle's Best coffee and the french press really works great. Hey now maybe I can avoid eating a pre-breakfast of pastries that I usually order along with coffee from room service:D! Well, maybe not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
