palmsandpines Posted June 14, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 14, 2023 What kinds of things will we be able to get at CAFÉ AL BACIO and THE SPA CAFE with a classic drink package? Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted June 14, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Cafe al Bacio serves espresso, lattes, macchiatos, specialty teas, hot chocolate and it has pastries/desserts also. Pastries are free coffees, etc have a charge most covered by the Classic package. It also can serve drinks. The Spa Cafe serves a limited breakfast and lunch menu of “healthy” options. I don’t believe the Classic package covers the smoothies in the Spa Cafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare prmssk Posted June 14, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 14, 2023 None of the juices or smoothies in the Spa Cafe are covered by the classic drink package. All the food is included for anyone (with or without a drink package). The only drinks NOT covered at Cafe al Bacio under the classic package are a few of the alcohol based ones that are over $10, although your drink package does get you a $10 discount on any of those drinks. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly trying to figure out where to best get a latte and pastry in the morning for the classic package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cafe Al Bacio is the place and they open fairly early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted June 14, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Depending on the ship, most have lattes, cappuccinos, espressos, etc also available at the bar in the Buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen people up there, but never got in the line. So go up and order a latte and they charge it to my classic package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted June 14, 2023 #11 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Yes, or give your card to the roving bar waiters to get it for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know how much are the alcohol coffee drinks at Cafe al Bacio? Years ago when we last sailed with Celebrity, they were under $10.

You pay full price for the International Coffee Cocktails unless you have the Premium Beverage Package. You can view prices using the App and going to Dining --> Coffee & Snack --> Café al Bacio --> Menu and scrolling down through the drinks list.

I thought you just paid the difference…So if your Classic limit is $10 and the drink you want is $12 you just pay the $2 + service…Never had a classic package so maybe I am wrong. It may help the OP if someone can confirm… Edited June 15, 2023 by chemmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing I just don’t understand is why the smoothies at the Spa Cafe were never available under the Classic package when the cost is only $5-$6. So weird! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helen haywood Posted June 15, 2023 #20 Share Posted June 15, 2023 There are a few alcoholic coffees at Cafe al Bacio that are in the Classic Package price point and are covered. The Cafe Kingston and the Cafe Olé. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCBB Posted June 15, 2023 #22 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Thanks for the responses. I wonder if anyone who recently cruised can confirm if the alcoholic coffee drinks at Al Bacio are covered in the Classic drink package, i.e. up to $10 and pay the difference + gratuity for higher price drinks. When we sailed pre-covid and had a classic drink package, most of those drinks were covered. Things may have changed : ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may help the OP if someone can confirm… You are correct….we had the classic package in Feb on Silhouette and only paid the difference (plus the tip on that difference) on any beverages that were over our $10 limit. Often the servers/bartenders didn’t charge anything extra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price limit of each package isn’t applicable to non-alcohol beverages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DaKahuna Posted June 15, 2023 #25 Share Posted June 15, 2023 As I understand it, like the Spa Cafe, Cafe al Bacio is different but I have been wrong before and could be wrong again but I remember paying $10 (plus gratuity) for a Coffee + Bailey's when I only had the Classic Beverage Package as Bailey's is not included on the Classic drink list.
