I know! 😲 Just one more reason for me to choose HAL for my cruises. Espresso based drinks are the only thing I will order at Starbucks. Their coffee is undrinkable. I would have loved a way to make it in room but loaded a Starbucks card ahead of time. Last morning and my 1,000 cold coffee at breakfast I skipped until home.

The coffee was awful! I had cold coffee served to me repeatedly in the dining room. I ended up drinking cappuccinos from Starbucks all week.

We're not really drinkers, can take or leave it. Our rule of thumb is if it's part of the cruise deal we book we enjoy the ease of it. Otherwise we just pay as we go if we want a drink. We don't drink enough to make the beverage package worth it. We bring refillable bottles and a travel mug for coffee. We're happy with water, iced tea and coffee. My husband brings water enhancer drops for flavor. Hope this helps. YMMV. Meg
