Heathermom Posted July 3, 2017 Report Posted July 3, 2017 I realize it's subjective but is the regular brewed coffee good? I enjoy brewed, black coffee if it is dark and rich but I'll pay for the premium coffee package if the free stuff isn't great coffee. Quote
mom2mybugs Posted July 3, 2017 Report Posted July 3, 2017 I found it to be fine, but with brewed coffee, not only is it subjective but sometimes it is just better than other times. The coffee at Cafe promenade at 8 am is different than at 10, etc. I don't remember it to be horrible or great. If you aren't worried about catching a sale, you can wait till you are on the ship and try it. Otherwise i defer to other coffee connoisseurs here to give you a stronger opinion!

L454S Posted July 3, 2017 Report Posted July 3, 2017 I find it to be good, and yes it is "brewed" coffee as opposed to Princess who were using the coffee syrup to make a pot. I find it stronger at different hours and venues, but still to my liking. Heathermom 1 Quote
Guest toodle68 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Posted July 3, 2017 I found the coffee on both our recent cruises to be ok.. and I absolutely hate weak coffee. If I remember on Liberty, there was a pot for a stronger brew. Quote

I like coffee on the stronger side, but not as strong as Starbucks. I liked the coffee on Adventure better than on Anthem. Never tried the premium. Heathermom 1 Quote
Matt Posted July 3, 2017 Report Posted July 3, 2017 I'm drinking it as I type this and it's pretty darn good for free. mom2mybugs, DocLC and Heathermom 3 Quote

I was on Liberty in June and the coffee in the Windjammer and Cafe Promenade were both great in the mornings, but I find drinking a cup of coffee while the ocean is sliding by out the window to be the best cup of coffee I've ever had. I would rate it with Starbucks "Blonde" brew for strength. Heathermom 1 Quote

Hey Heather, the coffee aboard Liberty in May was Seattle's Best "Henry's Blend". Do a search and you'll find a thread about it a few months ago. We buy it locally now,... probably one of the better cups of coffee we've ever had, and served in the MDR, Windjammer and Cafe Promenade, no charge. You're in for a great cruise ... pops Heathermom 1 Quote

whitsmom Posted July 4, 2017 Report Posted July 4, 2017 I guess I am the exception around here - I don't like Strong coffee. At work I use the hot water dispenser to water my coffee down a bit. I hope I will be able to do the same. I drink my coffee black so there is no other way to "tone it down" unless I make it myself. Heathermom 1 Quote
tiny260 Posted July 4, 2017 Report Posted July 4, 2017 They usually have hot water right by the coffee for people making tea, so you should be OK. whitsmom 1 Quote

Yeah, I found the coffee to be pretty bad on Princess and would just use the coffee card to get the "complimentary" drip coffee and carry it into the MDR. The stuff in the MDR wasn't very good, although I've read that the newer ships don't use the concentrate any longer. Quote
JBC Posted July 20, 2017 Report Posted July 20, 2017 The worst cup of coffee I think I have ever had in my life was on a Disney cruise. And it wasn't just an off cup, the coffee was consistently bad all week, just completely bland, I couldn't believe it. Everything Disney does is great, right? Yea, not the free coffee on their ships. On my first RC cruise, I was relieved that the coffee was much better. Quote

A few years back, the switched to Joffries in the parks, hotels, and ships and now brew a real cup of coffee. Quote

Chris besanson Posted July 20, 2017 Report Posted July 20, 2017 Well I love coffee but what was served on the empress of the seas was the worst and that's when you could get it. What a horrible ship! Quote

What a horrible ship! Sorry about the Empress, I'd say give them some feedback and see what happens. You'd think you could get a cup easily because few people would be drinking the stuff on that cruise, which would send up a red flag. If people quit booking the ship, that might send up a red flag too. pops Quote
whitsmom Posted August 15, 2017 Report Posted August 15, 2017 I don't like my coffee strong at all, so nightly on the Oasis at dinner dessert time, I got my coffee cut with hot water and it was perfect! I only had to ask the first night and then they automatically had it for me the rest of the time. Quote
themillennialcruiser Posted August 15, 2017 Report Posted August 15, 2017 What specialty coffee is included in the drink package? Would I be able to get an iced latte? Quote
ellcee Posted August 15, 2017 Report Posted August 15, 2017 ooh, I did not enjoy the coffee. It was okay. This is what's driving me to buy the package this time. I reallllllllllllllly enjoy my coffee and can (do) drink several a day. From what I see as long as they sell it and iced latte should be covered. Quote

Matt Posted August 15, 2017 Report Posted August 15, 2017 3 hours ago, l9dance said: What specialty coffee is included in the drink package? Would I be able to get an iced latte? Lattes, espresso and other concoctions of that nature. Yes, iced latte included in drink package. Quote

The only coffee not covered is that sold onboard the Oasis class ships at the Starbucks store. Cafe Promenade and Park Cafe both sell specially coffee that's included as is the specially coffee in all of the restaurants. Quote
