Koshie Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Hello Fellow Cruisers, I've purchased the refreshment drinks package for my coming trip on Explorer of the Seas and noted in the fine print that: "*All Beverage Packages exclude any beverages served inside licensed Starbucks® stores.". So in an effort to find out more, I found Matt Hochberg's article about the refreshment package and it states that "Royal Caribbean defines "premium coffees" as cappuccinos, espressos, and lattes. Thus, espresso based drinks are included with the Royal Refreshment package at any restaurant, bar, or cafe that serves espresso beverages.". Which is great because I love my morning expresso... However further on it says that "On non-Oasis class ships, the Royal Refreshment package does include Illy or Starbucks beverages from locations like Cafe Promenade or Cafe Latte-Tudes.". To my understanding, Explorer of the Seas is a Voyager Class, so as an avid coffee drinker, can anyone tell me where/which cafe's I can utilise my refreshment package and get an expresso on Explorer of the Seas? Thanks! Koshie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Van Niekerk Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 You should be just fine with your Royal Refreshment package. We were just on Oasis and had that package and used it for many lattes and espressos at the coffe bar at Cafe Promenade which is a similar concept to the Cafe Latte-tudes on Explorer.

Welcome to the boards, Koshie! The place you'll want to go for coffee on Explorer is Cafe Promenade. They serve Starbucks coffee there which is included in your refreshment package. While it doesn't have everything that a free-standing Starbucks kiosk on the Oasis class ships do, the menu at Cafe Promenade is still fairly extensive, and they definitely have espresso. Enjoy your cruise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
