So with all the talk of the new coffee agreement and the special Disney blends they will be making...does anyone know if DCL has this new coffee? I think the parks, it's a done deal.

Our trip is under 40 days at this point...and just building the excitement.

From what I read the coffee is from the place in Animal Kingdom - where you first enter the park on the right. We always liked that coffee from there/kiosk. But past that the coffee is not good as we all know.

So hoping DCL is onboard with the new coffee blends etc.

THANKS!

I haven't heard a thing about DCL ditching the Nes-Crap-ay but I hope they do. That stuff is terrible. We sail at the end of May. I'll be bringing Starbucks Via with me.

Thanks SP!

Looks like the Keurig is making the trip with us. :)

We are on the Dream/Bahamas voyage. Where are you headed?

Fantasy/Western Caribbean. Can't wait!

Not sure if you'll have any problems but I think coffee makers may be on the list of items you're not allowed to have. If you get it to your stateroom, make sure you keep it put away. If the room stewards see an item on the prohibited item list they have to take it and leave you a note telling you where/when to get it back at the end of the cruise. Here's a link to the list:

All "appliances" are prohibited - coffee makers, hot plates, hot pots, waffle irons, etc.

Interesting note: There was an article in last Sunday's paper about cruise lines starting to concentrat on other ports around the world. Cruises that appeal to the locals at that port - not for American tourists who want to cruise in other countries. There was a whole section about cruise lines branching into Australia, and they were talking about the changes they had to make when they based cruises there - certain comedy would not play to the Austalians, they had to include certain foods on the menu, and then there was the comment "and of course we had to swap out the coffee we served for a better one". :eek: So I guess they get away with serving swill to the Americans? I think this was an NCL cruise person they were talking to.

Nice. Um, not all Americans are down with the swill. Dave, your story here makes me want to slap random people. Is that bad? o_O

It's my understanding that this is essentially what goes on with European beers that are imported to the US. I'm not a beer person (I never acquired the taste), but I've been told that if you order a Heineken in Germany, it's a very different beer from what you get in bottles here in the US. So I not surprised at all that the same is true for coffee in other places.

I'm a beer person and I've heard that, too. Why is it that we Americans are considered "easy"???? o_O

Yes that is true.

Here is another fact. Beer gets "skunked" from exposure to light.The light breaks down certain chemicals in the hops that cause them to smell "skunky". Clear bottles offer almost no protection, green bottles minimaly more than green, brow offers by far the best protection. In their "native" lands many imports are in brown bottles. So then why in the US are all those imported beers in green bottles under blazing lights in the cold case in the store? Because they look pretty, and pretty sells. Most Heineken tastes horrible because it is lightstruck. If you buy a case, it will taste a lot different.

And depspite the fact that Mille Genuine Draft is in clear bottles, it never skunks. They don't use hops, but instead a isomerized hop oil extract which is not subject ot light degregation.

Interesting beer facts to know at tell (on a cruise ship forum)
