Coffee???

[Lizard755]

We have been considering buying a beverage package. The select and the Premium package. I have been unable to determine if regular coffee is included with the package. Maybe it is free??? I believe coke products and juices are also included but unable to determine if a good old cup of coffee (not specialty) is as well. This will be our first cruise and there seems to be so much to learn. Thanks to all of the posters out there - we newbies really to appreciate it!!

Plain coffee is free without any prepaid package in several locations. Though the coffee lovers here compare it to battery acid and other tasty things:D

Good old coffee and tea are no extra charge. There is also lemonade, iced tea and some flavoured waters available at no charge. You don't need a package to get these items

Soda (cokes, etc...) are NOT included in your fare. You can buy a soda by the can, if you don't want to buy the soda package (which is fountain soda).

 

Coffee, tea (iced or hot), milk, ice water, lemonade or flavored water, and juice at breakfast IS included in your fare.

I would, however, take the word GOOD out of your comment

I would say the coffee is great...out of the four different cruise lines we have been on, Royal's coffee is by far the best.

Well if it's any better than Carny or Princess, then it may be palatable. Are you referring to a house brand/blend or Seattle's Worst?

We hated the original coffee that was available... we had to water it down and still no luck.

 

We did however think the hot tea choices were ok

We like the coffee because we can pour a lot of cream in it...I love a strong cup of coffee and this fits the bill. It's a one cup eye opener!

Simply calling a spade a spade....Seattle's Best is actually pretty bad coffee...better than Folger's and Maxwell House, but not by much. And I'm also not a fan of their owner Starbucks either - overpriced burnt tasting coffee.

My wife is a coffee drinker, and will tolerate their "regular" coffee in the morning. She got the replenish package, which includes, soda, premium coffee(latte, ect), non alcohol drinks from bar. If you get select and premium it doesn't include premium coffee.

Thanks everyone. I am still on the fence regarding a beverage package....I may wait until the cruise starts to see how much I may actually be drinking. Good to know about the coffee; I may try to wing it and just try it. Will be sailing on the Grandeur of the Sea. My husband is planning on the Premium Package. I may just buy my drinks as I go.

I'm getting the replenish package because I'm not much of a booze drinker (I may do the drink of the day in the afternoon), but would like the premium, non-battery acid coffee.

Does anyone remember if they have creamer at the free coffee station? For some reason I only remember milk but I could be wrong

[AAA75]

Yes they do, the tiny ones. The ones you need 3-4.
