Coffee shop?

The old Argo Lounge is now a good Coffee Shop - Costa style drinks - where you pay even if you have the Drinks Package (think there may be a discount for Drinks Package clients). Ordinary Coffee + Cappucino, Latte, Mocha and Frappe is free in other bars if you have the Drinks Package (£1.20 supplement for 'Liqueur Coffees') and available for everyone free of charge in the Self Service restaurants.

Price for Coffees in the bars (not Coffee Lounge) without the Drinks Package is:-

Instant Coffee (normal or DeCaf) £2.00

Espresso £2.10

Americano £2.10

Cappuchino £2.30

Caffe Latte £2.30

Caffe Mocha £2.50

Caffe Frappe £2.50

Liqueur Coffees £4.40

Is there a library or book swap on board ?

Yes. You just sign out any book you want to take. The bookshelves are locked when the Library staff are not in attendance but there are always books being returned throughout the day that you can help yourself to when the cabinets are locked.

Bring a bathing suit?

Depends on what time of year you are travelling. The pool is sea water so cold out of main season but plenty of sunny spots to sit by the pools even in October/November/April where you will see many people in swimsuits even if not swimming. If you want a well positioned sunbed be prepared to get there early.

Sauna on board, charge or gratis ?

Can't say as have never used it - think it is in the gym

if you are on ai you get a 50% dicount in the coffee port on drinks and cake, they even have a coffee card

you can leave books but don't think you can swap them, all have to be return by the end of the cruise

think the saunas are free

I can recommend the coffee its 'Lavazza':p

Thanks for the info! Very helpful.
