Creator's Key Takeaways

Can a coffee snob survive 21 days at sea? Spoiler. It was a neardeath experience.

I was the last defender of the crema.

Panache, the savior, the legend, looked at me and said, 'I can make you a restretto.'

Holland America proved their customer service is topnotch. They listened.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Visit the Grand Dutch Cafe on deck three for quality espresso.
Use the self-service quench bar machines for a quick coffee fix.
Kindly insist on quality if the coffee is not up to standard.

YouTube Video Description

21 Days, 1 Mission: Finding DECENT Coffee on the Holland America Rotterdam! ☕ I thought I booked a luxury cruise, but what I got was a Caffeine Crisis. Join me for the most dramatic episode of our Caribbean Vlog as I recount my desperate quest to find a proper espresso. I investigated every deck, faced off with Worst Barista mistakes, and literally had to teach the crew how to pull a ristretto shot. You won't believe the hidden coffee gems (and the awful sludge) I found on board! WATCH to discover the only three spots on the ship where a coffee snob can survive.
