The answer is yes. I just came home today (July 29) from Carnival Pride, 7 day Bahamas Cruise. There is 2 coffee bars that were part of this cruise one Called The Piazza Coffee Bar on Deck# 2 and the other located in The Buffet section on the Lido Deck #9 forgot the name of that one, but There is exclusive desserts that they have like "Chocolate Fat Cake" there was also other desserts that you wouldn't find anywhere else on the ship. Those desserts were so awesome looking, I saw several patrons lined up every morning to get their specialty coffees, teas, lattes and of course those mouth watering desserts. I thought the place looked (in design) like Starbuck's. The logos on the cups reminded me of Starbuck's. I hope that this answered your question. I can't tell you how much they charge but you can use the sign and sail cards to purchase just about anything from this cruise. The free desserts in the buffet section was also very good and I think they may have been even better than the one's that people would purchase.

Yes, they do. I guess it falls into that "specialty restaurant" category... You apy for your special coffee and for the special treats that go with it.

Me, I drink the decaf served for free at the buffet and eat the desserts there as well.

Eeuw. Is that because fat is a primary ingredient or because that's the effect of eating it? :D Sorry, but you won't get me to buy something wth a name like that no matter how good it looks.

 

Sorry to be a little OT. Carry on.

He apple strudel at the coffee bar was excellent, as were the chocolate covered strawberries. $2.95/strudel. 3/$5 strawberries.
