Dirky Posted February 22, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2015 On the Azura a few years ago there was a Costa 'shop' I think it was near the Atrium area. The kids found it great for a hot chocolate and we enjoyed a few coffees there. Does anybody know if a similar coffee chain shop, will be on board the Britannia?

pete14 Posted February 22, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 22, 2015 According to Q and A on P&O website, Costa coffee is available in various outlets on Britannia (Java, Crows Nest and grab and go outlets) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helpthejuggler Posted February 22, 2015 #3 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I see there is a inclusive coffee package. Is that new and/or good value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richleeds Posted February 23, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 23, 2015 You would need to check if the all inclusive package includes coffee from the Costa franchise - I would guess it doesn't and is just for speciality coffee in P&O venues.

Rare Host Sharon Posted February 23, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 23, 2015 The P&O coffee package is only for Costa, but doesn't (or didn't) include the flavoured ones with syrup so I only bought it once as those are the ones I prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, thought he was talking about coffee as part of a P&O drinks package for espresso based drinks in the MDR etc. Really not a fan of Costa onboard, but then again on land it's my least favourite also, would always prefer Caffe Nero or a good independent.

BrianI Posted February 23, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 23, 2015 You can buy a Costs card with 10 coffees for £21.50. Normal price is £23. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richleeds Posted February 23, 2015 #8 Share Posted February 23, 2015 You can buy a Costs card with 10 coffees for £21.50. Normal price is £23. Brian There is really no incentive for a £1.50 saving! You may not get around to having coffee number 10 then you have lost out. But I thought coffees prices were different as in an Americano is less than a Cappuccino?

BrianI Posted February 23, 2015 #9 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Just looked up the current prices on the website and prices have increased since last December and 10 cappuccinos would now be £23.50 so the card would save you £2. There are differences in prices between different coffees. Here is what the card covers https://ask.pocruises.com/help/PO/life-on-board/drinks_package This is the price of coffees https://ask.pocruises.com/resources/carnivaluk/life-on-board/po_coffee_bar1.pdf Note if you went for Americano you would lose out with a card.

Dirky Posted February 23, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Thanks for the info. So Costa was/is the answer :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spideygirl Posted March 17, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 17, 2015 So 10 americanos would normally only cost £21, yet they charge £23 for 10! A bit of a swindle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kroeni Posted March 18, 2015 #14 Share Posted March 18, 2015 At the Website PO says coffee is included in the fare. Frankly, I don't understand what you are talking about. Which type of coffee is included and which one isn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare tonyl1956 Posted March 18, 2015 #15 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Ordinary coffee is include in the restaurant and buffet. Costa Coffee is available in certain venues on most (all?) ships and costs extra. It's great really, because I expect you can close your eyes and make believe you are in your local petrol station! I don't know whether you can get it in the cardboard cup to get the full effect, but I expect so. Not exactly an upmarket choice by P&O in my view, though I expect we'll drink it at times on our next cruise. Costa Coffee is brought to you by Whitbread, the owner of such brands as Premier Inn and Brewers Fayre. Whitbread is no longer a brewer.

davecttr Posted March 18, 2015 #17 Share Posted March 18, 2015 If i want a coffee during the day I pop up to the buffet and make myself a decaff. Don't forget to grab a selection of coffee/tea to supplement the ones in the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare tonyl1956 Posted March 18, 2015 #18 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Agree about the shares. I did also mention to the other half recently that I thought P&O had missed a trick by not having a Greggs outlet on board! Maybe they watch this board.....

rizlablue Posted February 21, 2018 #19 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hi All An update re costa coffee card aboard P & O. Just spoke to customer service, although they couldn't tell me the price of an Americano they said it would be the same as Costa High street stores. You only get a primo sized coffee with the pre paid Costa card i.e. 10 coffees for £22.00, 2.20 each...High street price for a Primo Americano £1.95....!! Go figure as our trans atlantic cousins would say. In addition you do not get any loyalty discount when purchasing a coffee card either. So Ive just cancelled my coffee cards for our upcoming cruises on board Britannia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had coffee card on Oriana and when I wanted a syrup with coffee was just charged the 50p extra and 1 coffee taken from 10 on the card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choose your bar selling Costa carefully and get a free cake with every coffee. Makes the coffee a much better deal, provided you want cake.

Rosefan Posted February 23, 2018 #24 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Also dependant on the time of day theres fresh fruit salad, danish pastries, muffins or sandwiches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the coffee a much better deal, provided you want cake. The cakes and sandwiches are only available from the Costa outlet. The coffee is available elseshere, but the 'free' cakes are only from the Java cafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
