Not a bad add for the UDP if you like Starbucks

The stand alone SB are still not included though....just the SB branded products sold at Royal Caribbean venues.

Specialty coffees only, like lattes.  You pay for those now. They'll still have the free stuff just not Starbucks.  Article mentions Seattle Best, but on Harmony in January it was Lavazza.

Adventure was using SB beans in June 21’. Freedom was using Illy (personal fave) in Oct 21’. 
 

I thought I saw another post saying the Cafe Promenades are converting to SB? If so, this article makes sense. SB is probably paying a decent amount for total brand/coffee exclusively onboard Royal. Probably a matter of time when see the change over. The drinks will have to be included in UDP/ Refreshment or there will be some pissed off people if coffee is no longer included in the packages.

This is the way I understand it, too....and that the CP SB product will be covered by the UDP

Does anyone know when this will be rolled out on Harmony?

Anthem in Dec I was drinking Starbucks branded coffee all week that was available at Le Patisserie. My DBP covered it.

Unlimited Dining Package?? Or do they mean DBP? Deluxe Beverage Package?

 

I see they called it unlimited drink package in article, hence the confusion.

That's nothing new, we have been able to use our refreshment package at La Patisserie ever since Anthem started sailing.
