nikibron Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 I am a coffee-oholic and have to have a cup every morning. Is coffee included with breakfast? Are there coffee pots in room with coffee? How about at other meals? I am not talking about specialty coffees. Just plain jane black coffee with creamer.

KLA Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Hi! Yes - regular coffee is included. This can vary by ship based on what the ship does/doesn't have, but it is typically always available in either the Windjammer buffet or at Cafe Promenade (both self serve). It is also available in the Main Dining Room. Unless you have a Junior Suite or above, coffee pots are not available in your cabin. What ship will you be sailing on? We may be able to provide insight. nikibron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AH! That one is super important - thanks for bringing that up. You have door hangers in your room that you can fill out with your complementary continental breakfast request (or just pot of coffee) to have delivered with a time marked for what time you'd like it to arrive. They'll call your room before they bring it, so I use it as an "alarm clock" often. Edit for clarity - the door hangers are complementary and don't have the room service fee applied as long as you stick to the continental breakfast options, which are marked and coffee is included in that section.

JLMoran Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 As a fellow coffee-holic, I feel I t should be noted that the coffee in the MDR and WJ is only one degree removed from sludge. It’s really bitter, only drinkable while very hot, and isn’t even especially caffeine-heavy from what I can tell. You may want to look at getting your cups of regular joe from the Cafe Promenade / La Patisserie / specialty coffee shop on board. They serve Seattle’s Best or Illy, depending on the ship. You’ll have to pay for it, but it’s a lot better than the mass-brewed stuff served with meals. lovecruising!!!, nikibron, ChrisK2793 and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikibron Posted January 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Thank you all!! I like the idea of the continental breakfast and coffee. Hope that is available on Liberty of the Seas?

It's something I've started to really enjoy - light breakfast with fruit and an english muffin ahead of all the other eating going on! Especially nice if it's enjoyed on a balcony. The promenade rooms are great - it feels like it has a lot more space over the other interior room categories. Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally get the refreshment drink package just for coffee, sparkling water and bottled waters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, for sanitation / health reasons they will require you to get the beverage in a standard cardboard cup from them, then pour it into your travel container.

Just make you you do as JL said and don't fill it from the tap and fill a glass to pour in to the Yeti. Neesa and Al Horner 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBRSKI Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Good Morning, Since we are talking Coffee, I started a discussion/question about if the mass quantity brewed was a powder form of coffee? My buddy made reference to this discussion on a previous cruise. No one on the blog didn't give a clear answer. I find it hard to believe it powder and would love to say he is wrong but need proof!

For example, on Anthem you have La Patisserie, which is the specialty coffee shop on board* and happens to sell Starbucks coffee. Whatever you buy there is covered by the package. But on the Oasis class ships, you have an actual Starbucks-branded kiosk on board in addition to places like Park Cafe that also sell specialty coffees (usually Illy or Seattle's Best). In this case, the Starbucks kiosk is not covered by the package, whereas Park Cafe is covered. *if I'm remembering correctly, Cafe Lattetudes right on the other side of the Royal Esplanade does not sell specialty coffee, just the free regular joe and free pastries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasmine's Mom Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 When you order coffee through room service, does it come in a cup or a pot? If in a pot, how many cups does it serve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If in a pot, how many cups does it serve? It comes in a carafe. Pours at least 2 cups, maybe 3 depending on how big of a cup. You give them a quantity when you order and usually what number you give will result in how many mugs you get with your coffee delivery. I would hope they would include enough coffee to fill all the mugs. You also need to specifically request cream and/or sugar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockerDom31 Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 In Anthem’s WJ, there is a specialty coffee “bar” with two baristas making fancier coffees such as cappuccino, frappes, and the like. We always got our coffee from there. There was never a line and service was quick. Sometimes we would washy-washy just to grab a coffee from there since the WJ was on the pool deck. We thought the specialty coffee was good. It was better than the “included” coffee which was more so “diner”-level coffee. Absolutely nothing wrong with the included coffee but since specialty coffees was covered by the deluxe beverage package, it added to the “value” of the DBP by getting it.
