bryresangel Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 Since I'm not a HUGE fan of alcohol, I got the refreshment package. This includes "premium coffee". Can anyone tell me what that means, and how it is different from "regular" coffee? Are lattes, cappuccinos, etc included? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesKinetic Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 "Regular" coffee means basically just that--plain ol' coffee that you can add some cream and sugar to. You don't need a drink package of any kind to get that for free. "Premium" coffee is exactly what you mentioned--lattes, cappuccinos, espressos, iced coffee, etc. Usually served at a specialty coffee bar somewhere. The one caveat on the refreshment package is that it cannot be used at the standalone Starbucks kiosks on Oasis-class ships.

DandA Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Depending on the ship there is a coffee shop called Cafe Promenade or Cafe-Latitudes, they have americanos, expressos, lattes, etc (very similar to Starbucks). they serve either Starbucks coffee or Seattle's Best. INMO the coffee served in the dining room and buffet is mediocre to poor at best. Like has been said if the Ship has a stand alone Starbucks that is not included. bryresangel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reigert2008 Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Cafe promenade is my go to location. Get to know the baristas and your dink will hit the counter before you finish the order! Flavor selections are kinda limited, especially on the sugar free side, but they will make anything you want. This even includes the blended coffee drinks. bryresangel, WesKinetic and ellcee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of my favorite things on a cruise and happens every time. I'm a creature of habit so my order will be the same every time. bryresangel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisellama Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 There is also a coffer beverage card you can purchase that gives you some savings. Look in the cruise planner and see if it makes sense for you. ( It doesn't apply to Starbucks.) bryresangel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look in the cruise planner and see if it makes sense for you. ( It doesn't apply to Starbucks.) The coffee beverage card is usually $30 and allows for 15 beverages ($2 each) no matter what you order. If you do not use the entire card on your sailing, you can bring it on another sailing as well. This is not valid at Starbucks as mentioned before. You can use it for an after dinner espresso beverage in MDR. bryresangel and cruisellama 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkeyeSarah Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 If you use the Starbucks, does that get charged to your SeaPass or can you pay with your Starbucks app? I have a lot of gift cards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is awesome to know! I like coffee that doesn't taste like coffee, so the brand is kinda agnostic for me. BUT...I do like my stars AshleyDillo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 Does anyone know what sugar free flavors are offered at cafe promenade? And is iced coffee available with non dairy milks? Such as oat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewfieCruiser Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 Not sure what sugar free flavors they have, but there's definitely sugar free vanilla and yes you can get oat or almond milk in the iced coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
