martyz Posted October 11, 2008 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2008 On a few cruise lines in the dinning room for breakfast and dinner you could order them for free. What about H/A? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancal Posted October 11, 2008 #2 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Not only were they free on our cruise but I was able to order my favourite for breakfast...cap with a double shot of expresso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted October 11, 2008 #3 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Not only were they free on our cruise but I was able to order my favourite for breakfast...cap with a double shot of expresso.But that's only in the dining room (or Pinnacle) isn't it? I don't recall seeing either in the Lido at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that it is the dining room (only) as well. They used to have free "coffee drinks" at the the "coffee bar" but that disappeared a few years ago. Not sure about room service, its not on the breakfast card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted October 11, 2008 #5 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Dining Room, Pinnacle and Neptune Lounge. Fabulous coffees are available at Exploration Cafe for a nominal charge. Lower than what the same costs at Starbucks etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancal Posted October 11, 2008 #6 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Yes, in the dining room. I prefer the dining room to the Lido. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailorgirlseattle Posted October 12, 2008 #8 Share Posted October 12, 2008 If you're in a suite, and get the free breakfast in the Pinnacle, does that include free espresso drinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted October 12, 2008 #9 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Yes. You can have espresso/cappuccino in Pinnacle for breakfast (Suite guests), Lunch (everyone) and Dinner (everyone) included in the price of lunch and dinner. Suite guests do not pay extra to have breakfast in Pinnacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower than what the same costs at Starbucks etc i have a question. i have read that sometimes the coffee machine is not working in the neptune lounge and i love my cappuccinos. if that is the case could i show my key card and get a free one at the cafe? just thought i would ask.

sail7seas Posted October 12, 2008 #11 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I've never heard of someone 'showing their key'. In the event the coffee machine happens to be broken, you can have espresso/cappuccino in the Dining Room or Pinnacle. They certainly will make every attempt to repair a broken coffee machine as soon as possible. ;) The charge for coffee at Explorations Cafe really is very moderate. I don't think you need worry the coffee machine might break while you are aboard. But, yes, we have been aboard when it broke. We managed to survive and have a great cruise. :) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucory Posted October 12, 2008 #12 Share Posted October 12, 2008 We did the galley tour of the Oosterdam back in May, and were surprised to see several large automatic espresso machines close to the doors of the dining room. We had thought it might have been a hassle to organise espresso drinks for the stewards, but they didnt mind a bit. We didnt feel guilty ordering our favourite espresso drinks in the dining room after this... :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertmartha Posted October 12, 2008 #13 Share Posted October 12, 2008 at the coffee bar (for those who have used it) do you know if they have soy milk? (yes for those that are lactose intolerant but love their latte's!) thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not something that is very well publicized with HAL that espresso drinks are free with dinner in the main DR. Just got off a cruise on the Celebrity Century and after having to suffer with the worst food of any cruise in the last 4 years I had to pay $4 for my after dinner espresso.:eek: $4 for a shot of espresso was the standard price on the ship at any venue. Fortunately being that we were on a Mediterranean cruise I could get excellent espresso on shore almost anywhere for about 1 Euro or $1.50:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iancal Posted October 12, 2008 #16 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Princess charges as well. I think NCL was gratis though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipedreams62 Posted October 12, 2008 #17 Share Posted October 12, 2008 If the coffee machine breaks down, they simply lower a mechanic onto the moving ship to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroneWynd Posted October 12, 2008 #18 Share Posted October 12, 2008 When we sailed on Princess, we got a coffee card with punches for espresso drinks, and unlimited brewed coffee. We are sailing on the Statendam in May -- is the regular coffee good? is it brewed coffee, or syrup coffee (princess has syrup coffee)? Is there some sort of frequent espresso drinker's program? Well, if I can get it in the dining rooms with my meals, that would probably cover my needs... HAL has good coffee, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted October 12, 2008 #19 Share Posted October 12, 2008 HAL has good coffee, right? Good enough; not great. It is brewed coffee, not syrup. I drink it, but don't over-drink it. The only place it's served where I don't like it is in the Pinncale. :rolleyes: The room service, Lido, and dining room coffee is quite drinkable. Not as good as Dunkin, better than Starbucks.

Cqis Posted October 13, 2008 #21 Share Posted October 13, 2008 On the Rotterdamn the cappuccino was free with dinner. As you stated after the first night he always brought mine. The coffe was very good on the Rotterdamn, I was really suprised since I like coffee with chicory ( very strong).The Lodo's coffee was also very good.

Suite guests do not pay extra to have breakfast in Pinnacle. Do the SY suites get free breakfast in the Pinnacle? Also... didn't see confirmation on this... SO is it true you can get free cappuccino in the dining room at breakfast also, or just dinner? Thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted October 13, 2008 #23 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Do the SY suites get free breakfast in the Pinnacle? Nope - just PS/SA/SB/SC. SO is it true you can get free cappuccino in the dining room at breakfast also, or just dinner? I can't answer, as I've never tried to order it for breakfast.

You can have cappuccino in the dining room for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamwiz82 Posted October 13, 2008 #25 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Don't forget the espresso machine in the Neptune Lounge. I think it's one of the reasons we book a suite :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
