Coffee options on Caribbean sailings

[shukapaw]

Hi,

 

I've noticed that some of the European cruises offer a "coffee cuddle" card which is like a punch card for coffee beverages. I've never seen this referenced on Caribbean sailings. Can any recent passengers on the Divina shed any light on this for me? Is this a Europe-only offering?

 

Thanks in advance,

They are a book of brown vouchers similar to the drinks ones. They work out at $1.75 each and are worth up to $4.50 for non alcoholic special coffees and chocolate drinks. We found them very useful.

You encountered these on the Divina?

Yes, last week Eastern Caribbean, we booked them a couple of months back on the north American web site. Used to go to the cafe doge in the afternoon for a fancy coffee, lemon cello and an Italian patisserie.

Definitely one of the best deals. 15 coupons to a book ($28 each). Worth pre-purchasing.

You can buy them under Drink packages on MSC website. And yes, they are available for Divina. We used them last week.

Great to know they are available in the Caribbean. Maybe they just aren't available for our sailing (next June) yet. I've logged into our trip and can pre-purchase wine, drink packages, sparkling wine, etc but there is no mention of coffee card.

 

Thanks for the information

 

While we are on the subject of coffee, what is your impression of the brewed coffee like you might get in the dining room?

Coffee in the MDR was terrible - disappointing as this is an Italian fleet. In the buffet they have hot milk available which made the coffee bearable. To get good coffee you have to go to the coffee bars (Deck 6 & 7)

Also, on the Drinks section of the website, at the bottom of each page and easy to overlook, is the more options button. You can find the coffee and Doremi packages there.
