Mocamps Posted July 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Hi everyone, We’re booked for a cruise on Whisper in October and have just been allocated our cabin (511). I’m trying to work out where we need to go to our early morning coffee?? On the Dawn one of us would go and pick up 2 coffees in the Arts cafe and can’t find anything similar on Whisper. Can we get coffees to go from Panorama? I know we can always order Room Service but that involves predicting when we’ll wake up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joywrk Posted July 23, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I just phoned for a cappuccino when I woke up and it was there in minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitob Posted July 23, 2023 #4 Share Posted July 23, 2023 But is there a place to get good coffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted July 23, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Whisper does not have an Arts Cafe. I would suggest going to the Panorama Lounge for that early morning beverage. As for "good coffee", personally, I think that is a very subjective topic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mocamps Posted July 23, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Thanks Lois, I was trying to remember where we got it on the Wind and Cloud and I thought it was probably Panorama lounge. And I know they are expedition ships but they essentially look to be the same layout. We lean towards stronger Italian-type barista coffees and dislike American-style filter brewed coffees, but I agree it’s definitely personal preference. We had a friend who always asked us to bring him back packs of American coffee and we thought it was awful!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many times I end up ordering hot tea for my breakfast while on a cruise (or with dessert) because I can't find a cup of coffee that I like....I mean I can always drink a latte and/or cappuccino but just a straight cup of coffee? I can't seem to find one to my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gourmet Gal Posted July 23, 2023 #8 Share Posted July 23, 2023 There is also coffee in the Observation lounge…my favorite place to be early mornings arriving in port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Silver Spectre Posted July 23, 2023 #9 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Definitely Panorama Lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitob Posted July 23, 2023 #10 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Do they have a real espresso machine on board or are they all the push button type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From recent experience probably not. Tried various coffees in various locations and they where all pretty weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markham Posted July 24, 2023 #12 Share Posted July 24, 2023 FWIW, this is one of many reasons that I recommend only Muse, Moon and Dawn to my friends. Happy and healthy sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitob Posted July 24, 2023 #13 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Might bring my Nespresso machine. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, did you mean a self-serve type of machine? I have never seen them on any of the ships and when a bartender is making an espresso It is a real machine.......I have never seen them press a button for the beverage to come out.

The only place with a real espresso machine o. Moon is Arts cafe. Everything else push button and undrinkable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted July 24, 2023 #16 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Will be with SS for 1st time this Fall on Dawn. Am I understanding correctly that if one wants a serious, fresh dark roast French or Italian, the Arts Cafe is the spot? Looking for the equivalent of Celebrity's Cafe Al Bacio.

markham Posted July 24, 2023 #17 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Yes, the Arts Cafe is a superb cafe, and one with excellent service. It opens at 6:30 am as I recall. Happy and healthy sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easterncommand Posted July 26, 2023 #20 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Hi All. With regards to the Whisper it is rumoured that a small arts cafe will be installed during the refit scheduled for April 2024. Other than that the coffee is barely passable.sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Panorama lounge had decent coffee on the Cloud and Wind!! Though maybe not as nice as the Arts cafe but I thought it was a proper coffee and not a machine push button one!! And canderson..., the Arts cafe coffee is BETTER than Cafe Al Bacio in my opinion!! Though I think Celebrity have the edge on cookies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted July 27, 2023 #25 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Anyone know what make/model available in upper Dawn suites? Would like to bring along a refillable pod for my own favorite blend, but need the right pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
