Aw Shogun that looks so nice- particularly as I have just had to cook my own dinner for the first time since disembarking....

Decaf coffee beans in the regular coffee machine and vice versa.

 

That was quick !!

 

Yes, the hoppers should be the otherway round. I checked all the other machines on the ship and they were all correct, except this one. If you wanted regular you had to press decaf button.

The Horizon Terrace looks amazing. We'll enjoy that for sure! Thanks for posting these photos.

Thank you Showgun and SwissDave for all the info and the great pictures. Did you notice if the partition between balcony cabins could be unlocked for access between neighboring cabins?

And on the 'smoking side':

:eek:

LOL

How did you decide which to believe?

That could actually be dangerous - lots of people can't have caffeine for heart conditions, etc.

Was it only in the smoking area?

Maybe they figured if you're already smoking it didn't matter whether you had caffeine or not. :p

 

EDIT : I just noticed something no one has noticed - those are real coffee beans, NOT SYRUP, in those machines!!!!

Was the ultimate ship tour available?

Yes, they can. They fold flat against the non openening side of the balcony door.

The decaf and regular signs do not seem to match the actual bins of coffee?

 

Edited: oh sheesh...I really need to refresh the screen if I'm going to try to post whilst I'm working, lol! I see SEVERAL have beaten me to the punch. LOL

Not on the Maiden. Hopefully it will be later though. I think they probably had far too much to do with getting all the 'snagging' fixed to be able to dedicate staff to the UST.

[Shogun]

[Shogun]

yours Shogun

[sunsetbeachgal]

Did anyone have the coffee in the Horizon Court or the dining room and can comment on the quality...or better yet tell me if the syrup is used or whether it is brewed?

 

Thanks!

[HRPro]

Dave and Shogun, thanks for all the fabulous pictures. Dave, the mini-suite looks great even with the smaller balcony and Shogun, the Chef's table looks fantastic. DH and I may have to splurge and put out name in the hat for this experience as we have never done it.

I only saw this in the smoking area, the machines inside the Horizon court all looked to be correct.

 

They are pre ground beans. the machine makes and stores 3 litres of coffee, when it gets below a certain level it makes some more. one morning it was not working and had a message on the screen saying 'Empty the grounds waste hopper'.

 

The quality is not the best (as to be expected) but is a definate improvement on the syrup based stuff. I know who supplies the coffee (but am not allowed to say who) so I know what the quality rating is - trust me that it is not the lowest.
