Can I bring my Keurig on a cruise?

Keurig machines are forbidden on all cruise ships due to their irresponsibly high environmental impact.



No, you are strictly prohibited from bringing a Keurig or any other personal coffee maker on a cruise ship. This is a universal policy across all major lines including Disney, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian in 2026. These devices are classified as fire hazards because they have heating elements that can exceed the electrical load of a standard cabin outlet and potentially cause a fire, which is the greatest danger at sea. Other banned items include clothes irons, hot plates, and candles. If you attempt to bring a Keurig on board, it will likely be flagged during the initial X-ray screening of your luggage and confiscated by security. The device will be held in a secure area and returned to you at the end of the cruise. If you need a specific type of coffee, most ships offer 24-hour room service, onboard cafes like Starbucks or specialty coffee bars, and complimentary coffee in the buffet area. For true coffee aficionados, some high-end suites come equipped with Nespresso or Illy machines that have been safety-certified by the cruise line's engineering department.

Water is always free of charge on most cruise ships. You may be asked to pay a fee for some versions of bottled water. However, you can likely ask for a jug of iced water in any restaurant or bar for no added cost. There are several water dispensers present on a cruise ship so that you can help yourself.

While water, juice, and tea are usually free on a cruise, you often have to go to the ship's restaurants to get them. Meanwhile, non-alcoholic drinks like sodas cost extra (usually around $2-3 per serving), so bringing those on with you when allowed can save you a decent amount.

While purchasing a beverage package prior to your cruise is the most cost effective, you can opt to purchase one on board for a slightly higher price.

Yes, you can. Modern USB blenders that you can charge from the USB ports in your cabin or even a powerbank can do this for you, and you can safely take them on board as they do not fall under the majority of cruise lines prohibited items (always check with the relevant cruise line before taking one on board though).
