cruiserninja1 Posted June 10, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Does anyone know if NCL offers a Specialty Coffee Program. I love my espresso and was wondering if one of the Beverage Packages included specialty coffee . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us it's our drug of choice, can't live without it and drink at least 10/12 doubles a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medicalma'am Posted June 10, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Not even worth booking a suite on the Sun.......there are no Lavazza machines in the suites on the Sun, except the top two suites! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Cruisers Posted June 10, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Book a suite and you can have all the espresso you want. For us it's our drug of choice, can't live without it and drink at least 10/12 doubles a day. The Lavazza espresso in the suites from the machine is surprizingly good. I too would purchase a coffee card if it were reasonably priced, like on Princess ships. Edited June 10, 2014 by NH Cruisers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planmaam Posted June 10, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yes! Yes! Let's resurrect the "talk NCL into offering a specialty coffee card" thread! Would definitely buy one (or two!) Are you listening, NCL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda the Book Lover Posted June 10, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 10, 2014 The DH said he doesn't go on vacation to brew coffee he does enough of that at home. LOL I guess you can count his vote in with mine for coffee cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TracieABD Posted June 10, 2014 #10 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Another yes vote here! Eventhough I book suites, I would still get a coffee card. NCL, are you listening???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juls1964 Posted June 10, 2014 #11 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yes yes yes please NCL do the coffee card princess beat you on that one Juls:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freespir8 Posted June 11, 2014 #12 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Book a suite and you can have all the espresso you want. For us it's our drug of choice, can't live without it and drink at least 10/12 doubles a day. Mine too! We had a suite on the Star and loved the Lavazza machine. Our Butler removed all of the drinks in the fridge and replaced it with milk so we would always have enough for our latte's. Two to three per day...at least! :) Totally worth it!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khorlock Posted June 4, 2015 #13 Share Posted June 4, 2015 So, since I'm only in a balcony cabin and this is my first cruise, can someone hint at how much will I need budget to get my daily fix? LOL. I know that seems petty, but I'm a 4-5 cup a day guy from Seattle. I have my own set up at home, and the thought of drinking drip - well, I don't need to go on. LOOOL.

HarpHarp Posted June 4, 2015 #14 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I'm in. Think I'll post it on the NCL FB page too:D Khorlock, They're cheaper that Stabucks. I think most are in the $2.50-3.50 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missdixie Posted June 4, 2015 #15 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I love my espresso too. I would get a card. And that's another remember when thing. The Jewel and Pearl had espresso in the coffee stations at the buffet. Don't know if they still do. Espresso was complimentary in the MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familycruise14 Posted June 4, 2015 #16 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Just went a Royal ship last summer. We really enjoyed the Replenish package. We got soda, lots of different virgin drinks and all types of different coffees. Wish NCL had that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planmaam Posted June 4, 2015 #17 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Yes, time again to bring this to the attention of the new NCL executives! Passengers would love you to offer a coffee card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone else want to second this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZonaCruiser Posted June 4, 2015 #18 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Absolutely would buy a coffee card!! I'd pass on all the other add-ones to have a coffee card (well, that and the ubp):p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisebie Posted June 4, 2015 #19 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I'll vote for that. I would love it if NCL would offer this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marelind Posted June 4, 2015 #20 Share Posted June 4, 2015 We were on the Pearl 5/7-17. At the end of the cruise the Hotel Director had a Q&A with the Cruise Critic group. He was asked why the UBP does not include coffee drinks/espresso/lattes. He said corporate is working on it, but the problem is figuring out how to resolve potential problems before rolling it out. The potential problems at this time are that the specialty coffees are made (in the Jewel and Dawn class ships) in the atrium. If a passenger is in a bar or restaurant and wants a specialty coffee then either the passenger must go themselves and get the drink, or the server must go down to get the drink and come back to serve it and the concern is that the drink would not be as hot when it was served.

sail7seas Posted June 5, 2015 #22 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Please excuse me but I really hoped to learn if I can get a decaf black iced coffee somewhere on Dawn? One of my favorite cold drinks in summer. Is there a place I can get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We latte/espresso lovers need to band together! As long as the "discount" price was right...I wouldn't mind getting it myself if there was a "specialty coffee card".

Tarheel_Cruiser Posted June 5, 2015 #25 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hi Folks, Please excuse my ignorance ... 1st time NCL'er. The terms and conditions for the Ultimate Beverage Package says "does not include select Lavazza coffee beverages". My question is ... What is included for coffee with the UBP? Is it just the standard stuff at the Java Cafe? Appreciate all the info you guys give on this forum! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
