cruzsnooze Posted January 11 #26 Share Posted January 11 I learned something new. Is there a Diamond Lounge on all ships in which to get morning coffee? I will be on the Navigator next month and need my coffee as soon as possible after I get dressed. Is it a keycard to enter the lounge or just open? Is this the same lounge as for Diamond Plus?

Yes the Diamond Lounge is now called the Crown Lounge and is on every ship. It has key card access. It is accessible by anyone Diamond Status or higher.

Sunshine3601 Posted January 11 #28 Share Posted January 11 Some ships have a specialty coffee area in the Windjammer. Does Symphony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems they are expected to be deep cleaned DAILY and it takes about 20 minutes and requires a bunch of steps. SOMETIMES, it's as simple as dumping the Used Grounds container and pressing a button or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted January 11 #30 Share Posted January 11 Most ships with a Cafe Promenade start serving specialty coffee there at 7AM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For OP, note as well that things like an Ice Coffee only comes in the larger cup so it's 2 punches , and it doesn't cover Frappuccino's. Having said that, we still found the coffee cards useful and purchased it when we didn't have access to the Crown Lounge, such as your son. As other's stated, I believe Park Cafe and Cafe Promenade should have early morning coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are at a C&A level that gives you access to the lounge your cabin key card will be programmed to open the Crown Lounge door in addition to your cabin.

Noted. I think I will keep both cards for my son and DIL. They both love coffee and would probably be getting two shots per coffee. If there are extra stamps my spouse and I can try one of the other coffee sites instead of the free coffee at the Diamond lounge. Thanks everyone for the great info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taglovestocruise Posted January 11 #36 Share Posted January 11 Odd side note. Last time on Navigator I was looking at the screen on the coffee machine trying to remember if my wife wanted two shots or one of espresso in her cappuccino. Host was standing behind me and said there were more choices on the second screen. I never knew there was a second screen. A small marking on the bottom left of the screen when pushed brings up a second screen with 3 or 4 more choices. I still just use the first screen with two shots of espresso and a cappuccino as my first coffee of the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiel53 Posted January 11 #37 Share Posted January 11 18 hours ago, Edward51 said: Thanks for pointing that out. The card is even more reasonable than I thought. Is there a particular coffee place that you like on Oasis Class ships? I get my Mocha at the Cafe Promenade. The standard size is 1 punch and the large is 2 punches. They use Starbucks coffee there and have a few choices available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
