Rare charliedalrymple Posted May 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2023 We've been on Princess a number of times without a beverage package, but this time we are getting Plus (on Majestic). I love the idea of a barista coffee (or two) first thing in the morning before breakfast, but I don't love the idea of fighting crowds to get one. Is the International Cafe a mob scene in the morning now that so many people can get coffee with the Plus Package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzeQueen2 Posted May 26, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) @charliedalrymple You can also get your specialty coffees from The Bakery on Lido, forward area of the buffer OR - my favourite spot on Majestic - Princess Live bar.

It depends on what time of the morning you get there and whether or not it’s a port day. On our most recent voyage on the Emerald (April 18 day Panama Canal) there were usually very few people up and stirring in the early morning (6:30-7:00). On early arrival port days there were a good many more but not just slammed. And of course on disembarkation day it was very crowded then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avonlady6390 Posted May 26, 2023 #9 Share Posted May 26, 2023 You can order on the app and delivered to your cabin no extra charge. It usually does not take too long to get it and no lines to wait in! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t&atravel Posted May 26, 2023 #10 Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) You can only get the specialty coffees at those other locations. If you want strictly fresh brewed you will need to go the IC. Edited May 26, 2023 by t&atravel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can even order it on your app from a seat in the piazza, if a bar steward doesn’t first come by to get your order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye10640 Posted May 26, 2023 #16 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Interestingly, I found the lines to be much shorter on Royal in Alaska last week than the lines on other ships over the last few years. This was my first cruise since the coffee pkg was discontinued, wondering if that had any impact. Royal was also good about having separate lines for food and coffee. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare startedwithamouse Posted May 26, 2023 #18 Share Posted May 26, 2023 We never wait in line, either order on the app or find a server and order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, yes. and it wasnt really organized that way as such, but it was just how it was working. I am a pretty regular IC visitor and these were the smoothest lines I have seen at an IC in the morning, for whatever reason. And I had expected being in Alaska's colder weather there would be more folks there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but if we want food from IC to go with the coffee, we cant do that with the app. Figure if I am going to go anyway to get food I will just wait for the coffee. We have ordered coffee to the room via the app. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks would get food and then try to cut into the coffee line. I was expecting fisticuffs on a couple occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though occasionally someone would try and cut the food line by walking directly to the other end of the food counter instead of the end where the line was.
