The International Cafe does not have any beverages. There is an espresso bar adjacent to the International Cafe that has espresso drinks, brewed coffee, special teas, all for a charge. Adjacent to the espresso bar is the Piazza Bar that sells normal bar drinks. Glasses of water are free.

Also you can get a glass of milk free to enjoy with the free cookies.

Anytime of day.

Yep. Anytime, 24 hours a day, you can get cookies & milk at the IC. My husband had a craving at 2 am on our last cruise. Btw, you have to ask for the peanut butter cookies. They are kept in back due to peanut allergies concerns. They're always available, & the counter person is happy to get them for you. 😊

I knew about the cookies, was not aware you could ask for milk.

We asked for milk at the espresso bar and were charged for it...should we have asked for it at the piazza bar or the IC?

There is a bar to the immediate left of the IC. No charge for milk. At least we have never ever been charged in several cruises including just a few weeks ago on the Crown.

1965...funny because it was the Crown we were charged on.  DH was getting us the breakfast sandwiches and some pastries, I went right to the left and ordered me a hot chocolate (no coffee card) and then asked for a glass of milk...I was charged for both the hot cocoa and the separate glass of milk...it was like $3 for the milk...the hot cocoa was cheaper like $1.50 or something as I just got a small...DH was like lesson learned grab it from buffet before coming down...

[1965]

$3 for a glass of milk?! I think the counter person seriously screwed up! Ridiculous. 

[cruzrbachoua]

yeah and he had an attitude...he had one with everyone...he obviously did not want to be working...sadly that cruise we ran into a few of those. We thought perhaps it was the end of a contract period and the folks were already checked out....it certainly was not princess service.  He didn't even tell me the total...I just handed my card over and then when I stepped to the side to wait for my order I was like WTH.....but there was a long line and we were grabbing food before we headed out for our excursion so we were like lesson learned...
