Simple questions in using the Starbucks package

[dmwnc1959]

If I buy the Starbucks ☕ package can I use it on embarkation day and immediately upon boarding? Will the Java Café & Bar be open?

 

Does anyone have a recent daily schedule from Norwegian Jade on the atrium coffee bar 🕰️ hours of operation? 

 

And the last day of the package will be a turn-around day for me, what's the latest on that day I can use it before it 'expires'? 😫
 

356 days and counting. 😁

I don’t know the answers to your first and third questions, but today’s Jade Freestyle Daily shows the hours of operation as 6am to 10pm.

I'm an early riser so that will be an excellent way to start the day with some breakfast at O'Sheehan's. 👍

Yes it will be open on embarkation day. I don’t know for sure when it closes on disembarkation day, but I’m quite sure that I got a coffee on that day on my last cruise (different ship).

 

The hours quoted above sound about right for the opening hours during the cruise.

 

Basically I don’t recall ever wanting a coffee and finding it closed.

Not sure if you are aware, but o’Sheehans should be able to serve you at least some of the Starbucks options with your breakfast. I often get an espresso with breakfast there.

On the Joy, I had Starbucks relatively early on embarkation day.  I couldn't access the ship's wifi and the Internet cafe was next door (and had a loooong line.)  Turns out, the problem resolved itself; I guess they just hadn't activated the new packages yet.  The Starbucks in the Observation Lounge had shorter hours but I don't recall those specifics.

I can't speak to the Jade specifically, but we are just off the Encore and coffee was available 6:00 a.m. - 8:30 am.

 

All ashore is normally about 9:30 a.m., so closing just before that makes sense. You needed to be out of your room by 8:00. For consideration, by 7:30 am, the elevators (going up or down) will be mostly unusable with people departing.

I heard this was also true of the main dining room as well, that you could get some of the Starbucks options that weren't of the iced versions?

Yes, most dining venues will serve coffee. From memory I think it is usually Espresso, Latte and Cappuccino listed on the menus. I don’t know whether they will also get others if you request them.

I will have to make sure to grab a coffee or two before it closes on turnaround day. lt'll be interesting to see how that works on NCL, and in Whittier. I've done several B2Bs on Celebrity Cruise and Princess Cruises, always making sure that I have the same room for both legs. I've booked a cabin amidships Deck 5, so maybe I can hang out in the atrium for a while until they round us up for the 'in transit march'. And I'm sure the elevators will be a hot mess.
 

I don't plan on having the Starbucks package on the second part of this journey, I think probably after +3 weeks I'll be all coffeed out.

Those are usually my go-to options. I've never had any of the Frappuccino iced versions listed on the Java Café menu board, but I'm sure going try at least one or two a day for the first two weeks while we're down in the hot and humid climates. I think that will be pretty refreshing.

If you are on Norwegian Jade now - by your post it sounds like it - if you're able to grab an updated picture of the Java Café menu boards and what it is that they offer in the café part. That would be greatly appreciated!!!

I’ll try to get one tomorrow. Yes I am on the Jade now. Just left Aruba and headed to Curaçao now.

I think that I'll have to try one of each, 😉 and imagine those would go very good with a cappuccino.

On a side note, had my first ever Starbucks Frappuccino. I'll have to rate this 10/10. 🥰

I don’t know if they are included or not. I think they are $2 each. 

 

We typically don’t eat cookies, no idea. Sorry.

I forget exactly how much I paid for the macarons from the patisserie onboard Anthem of the Seas but they were also around that price.
