Ian Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 I know that I am in a minority, but I only drink decaf coffee. Recently in the Allure's Diamond lounge coffee machine, the decaf was removed with only 2 regular containers. Just returned from the Explorer however, and was relieved to see that decaf is still available from their machine. Interested to see if decaf is still available in other ship's Diamond lounges . Many thanks, Ian Levene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 Decaf is currently available on Harmony. It could just be the DL concierge removing the Decaf on Allure Ian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 No decaf in the Suite Lounge on Oasis we have noticed this week. Ian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 If you were still on Allure I would have suggested you ask the DL Concierge about decaf coffee availability. I find it unlikely there is an intentional move to eliminate decaf coffee but without discussing it with the crew we'll never know.

bobroo Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 I like to call exiting the Diamond Lounge the “secret handshake” of being Diamond and above. Skillful operation of the coffee machine? That’s like a PhD in Diamond Lounge-ology. Anyway….on both models of machines Royal uses, there is the starting screen on the machine with a bunch of drink selections. Many people don’t know that the starting screen is just page one. Going to page two you’ll find decaf selections and also things like hot water or hot milk. I’m sure the DL machine in question offers decaf coffee, it’s just found on the seldom used page two of the starting screen. If the little hopper on top of the machine does not indicate decaf beans, it’s very likely that the decaf name plate has been scrubbed off due to frequent washing. There are many things in the DL that have been washed so many times important instructions have been lost. Mainly: whether to push or pull the DL door to exit. Or, the label for the button to deactivate the magnetic latch. Thusly making the secret handshake a little more of a mystery. asquared17 and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, for my next time round...how do you get to page two? (I'm guessing it's not intuitive...) ChessE4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun025 Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 I heard rumours that they are phasing out the Diamond lounges. Anyone else heard about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda R Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Reg and Decaf was in Diamond lounge this month on Oasis. I have never seen a coffee machine in Diamond lounge that did not have decaf available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
