Xaa Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 It depends on the ship. In most cases no. I know at least on Anthem of the Seas the answer is yes. ChessE4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So new cruisers will trek to Windjammer or coffee shop on promenade or order room service. Ships vary in sources--location/size. Check deck plans for your ship. Usually it's hard to get coffee before 6 am. Cruise Compass will have hours of operation. See link at top of page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FionaMG Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Anthem definitely has kettles, I think largely because of sailing from the UK. If that's your ship and you have a particular brand that you like, bring some with you in case the offerings on the ship are not to your liking - e.g. despite sailing from the UK in summer season, you'll not find Brit favourites such as PG Tips or Tetley. I've not seen kettles in any of our cabins on other ships (note that we don't sail in suites). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but smaller ships have limited hours, and espresso drinks require a barista. Took a lot of vision class cruises... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCSC Mike Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 FWIW, @Lovetocruise2002 is currently live blogging from Liberty in a 2BR GS and she eventually got a kettle upon request but was told they were being phased out of all ships Freedom class and below.

Macfoot Posted August 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 What about taking a thermos cup would I be able to fill it up with hot water the night before as I could probably get milk also from a drinks station?

Sure. People bring water bottles and travel mugs for various reasons. Just don't put your own container under a public drink/water dispenser.

I’ve seen tea in the windjammer and at cafe promenade. As for coffee, there are drip machines in the above mentioned locations at all hours of the day & night but if you are a coffee snob like me, speciality coffee shop (possibly Starbucks depending on ship) opens at 06:00.

Linda R Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Room service for coffee and tea is complimentary. And several places onboard have coffee/tea available, some 24 hours. I have only seen coffee/tea makers in cabin in Jr suites and above. emmef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babsy47 Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 Look at USB travel kettles that look like a thermos. The are easy to pack and can be used anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And most likely not allowed as they are a fire hazard, this type of thing is often confiscated. Ships are typically very cautious as fire is the biggest danger to any ship. Easiest just to get free coffee/continental breakfast from room service. You tell them what time and they will bring you a carafe of coffee, decaf, or hot water for tea.

On Liberty this past summer, they were getting stingy with them, even in the suites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much anything with a cord, except hair dryers, are not allowed. I wonder if the kettles that use USB would be different than the ones that plug in with a regular power cable? Like the difference between bringing a usb charger (allowed) vs a surge protector (not allowed). The USB typically comes completely unplugged from the kettle.
