Bitter brew on board?

The Orlando Sentinel has decided to help out coffee addicts with an unscientific-but-amusing expose of which cruise lines know their way around a coffee bean.

The free coffee on Royal Caribbean and Princess brewed up a bitter reaction. On the other hand, Radisson, Windstar, Crystal, Cunard's Queen Mary 2, and Costa perk along with high-quality java. Other cruise lines drew mixed reviews, with cynical (realistic?) observers suggesting that the quality of the free coffee has declined as many lines have added extra-cost gourmet coffee bars that serve the really good stuff.
