First time on Oceania, question on coffee

[Classiccruiser777]

The made to order Illy Coffee Espresso/Cappucino Machine is available 24 hours from what I remember, one in the buffet area and one in the observation deck on the R-class ships. Correct me if I am wrong. Coffee is EXTREMELY good!

Correct according to my aging memory.

Correct according to my aging memory.

 

On Marina and Riviera there are also machines in the Executive and Concierge lounges.

[Paulchili]

Correct according to my aging memory.

 

I second that on both counts (i.e. correct according to my failing memory as well) :D

While the machine coffee is very good, I think the one from Baristas is better.

You can also contact Oceania directly or through your TA and make your request in advance for your favorite non-alcoholic beverages in your cabin. They will also provide other things you may need in advance-hypoallergenic pillows, twin beds, etc. Contact specialservices@oceaniacruises.com

In fact, you need to contact them if you desire less common items - such as caffeine free Diet Coke.

Do Oceania ships offer decaf coffee?  I don’t see it listed on the Barista menu.

[PSahoy]

They had plastic tops on Regatta in September. They will also use your travel mug if you bring one.

Perfecto

None on the Insignia this past July.   Was annoying caring it back to cabin without a top.

No plastic tops from Barista's this September on Nautica. We drank ours there.

Agree we got plastic tops at both Baristas and the coffee station in the Terrace.  Other coffee note is that on R Ships, you can ask your waiter in the GDR for a cappuccino (or latte, etc.) and they will happily get one from Baristas; they would always ask if we wanted another and another warm cup from Baristas would arrive 😋. On the O ships, Baristas is a bit of a walk so kinda doubt it but then, never asked.  Perhaps other restaurants have a machine though probably not as good as Baristas?

I love Oceania, but the brewed coffee in the main dining room is not very good. Not very good. But yes, your waiter will bring you a cappuccino upon request.

[LHT28]

We order  a Cappuccino  in the GDR  after dinner on the O class ships

Tastes  fine to me

They may have a machine in the area   as it never seems to take too long to arrive

I found that the regular coffee served in the Terrace and MDR is like drinking yesterday's dish water.  It is terrible.  After a few days, I gave up drinking coffee.  The other problem is that you cannot get a regular coffee at Baristas, it is all frou-frou coffee or an Americano.

And like Viking, and HAL in the suites. I'm with you. I'm up and wanting my first cup at 4:30 - 5am. DH is NOT awake then, and if I call room service, he's going to be. It's also great for making a cup of chamomile at 2am if I can't sleep. I'd be happy to rent one over the course of a cruise. It seems like such a little thing, but it would mean a lot to me.

If you're up at 4:30 am on vacation, then as my wife likes to say, "you're doing it wrong." 😉 (Only kidding, people can get up anytime they like....)

Can you get blended mochas on board (Frappe)?

menu from Barristas

Oceania has some of the best coffee around & it's not charged extra for. The Illy brand is excellent, but so is all the other coffee offered.

Agree, if from Baristas. MDR coffee is awful. The best coffee I ever had on a cruise was this past July on a uniworld river cruise in Germany.
