trvlgalnguy Posted December 31, 2009 #1 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Iv'e been reading great reviews about the international caffe...Does anyone know how much is the nominal fee ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifra Posted December 31, 2009 #2 Share Posted December 31, 2009 No fee. They charge for specialty coffees and gelato, most everything else there is free. Great place to hang out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedirene Posted December 31, 2009 #3 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Only charges in the International Cafe is for specialist coffees - cappuccino, latte, etc. Everything else - cakes, rolls, salads, soup are free. This was an excellent and popular place if you didn't want or couldn't face major food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgiemoo Posted December 31, 2009 #4 Share Posted December 31, 2009 It's all free, except the specialty coffee, and the gelato. The gelato is $1.50 for 3 large scoops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grego Posted December 31, 2009 #5 Share Posted December 31, 2009 It's all free, except the specialty coffee, and the gelato. The gelato is $1.50 for 3 large scoops. Good reason to get a Coffee Card so you can enjoy the specialty coffees and unlimited "real" brewed coffee to go with those great rolls and Danish pastries.

kymbakitty Posted December 31, 2009 #8 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I went through every single deck plan and couldn't find "International Cafe" anywhere....is there one on the Grand? I saw a picture of one of these cafe's before and it appeared to have fresh pastry (not the typical run of the mill donuts). That would make my husband a very, very happy man. He also likes Gelato and at $1.50 for 3 scoops, well that just may be the best deal on the ship! Especially if it is good Gelato. If there is one on the Grand, I can just see that he will be eating pastries from the beginning to end...and he doesn't gain an ounce. Argh....

reddirtgirl Posted December 31, 2009 #11 Share Posted December 31, 2009 We're on the Star Princess in April - first time cruisers; I note here that you pay for specialty coffees but how about a regular cup of coffee or tea, are they free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B8C Posted December 31, 2009 #12 Share Posted December 31, 2009 We're on the Star Princess in April - first time cruisers; I note here that you pay for specialty coffees but how about a regular cup of coffee or tea, are they free? Regular coffee & teabags are included - room service, buffet, and dining room. Just be aware coffee is made from syrup not beans. Some people can't stand the stuff. DH, I, and another couple we travel with find it acceptable. I wouldn't want to drink it all the time, however, it is fine for a couple of weeks. Usually a nice selection of teabags in the buffet otherwise Lipton teabags in the diningroom. If you buy a coffee card, they punch the card for each specialty coffee (pasterie and diningroom) and will give you unlimited brewed coffee from beans (pasterie) as long as you have an unused punch. Any punches not used during this cruise can be used during future cruises - just bring the card with unused punches. Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latebloomer56 Posted January 1, 2010 #14 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I have the 2010 Europe Princess book and on page 66 it lists the different ships and claims there is an international cafe'. However I can not find it on any deck plan. We loved this area on the Golden last July. Hope it is in fact on the Grand. Sailing 4/9/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toto2Kansas Posted January 1, 2010 #18 Share Posted January 1, 2010 It's there. :) Pia, unless I am mistaken, the Grand has not gotten the International Cafe as of yet. Not unless it has undergone another refit since last January. I remember it was supposed to be put in, but was cancelled several times. Has this happened just recently? As it did not have the International Cafe when we sailed last January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know the dates it was supposed to be done were changed several times. But last I heard, they had not put it in. Hopefully soon though!

Toto2Kansas Posted January 1, 2010 #22 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Take a peek at the plan. It shows the Cafe adjacent to the Michelangelo. It may show exactly that, but you know these deck plans. They print them off long in advance when something has been scheduled to be done. Then it is cancelled, but the deck plans still show it there. Maybe someone who has sailed on the Grand recently can confirm it truely was put in, or if it is still waiting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
