Krazy Kruizers Posted August 27, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I thought some people would like to know the prices of the specialty coffees and teas as some people have to worry about budgets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CtheW0rld Posted August 27, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 27, 2012 are the nice pastries still free (or is that gone, now, too)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sealine Posted August 27, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 27, 2012 They're still free. A Daily Special with free pastry is a great enjoyment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solocanadian Posted August 27, 2012 #7 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I thought some people would like to know the prices of the specialty coffees and teas as some people have to worry about budgets. Good for you doing this, KK. Still would not entice me to partake - I don't even go to coffee shops at home. I'm too frugal. Enjoy my own home brew from premium beans. Do not believe is paying for a good cup of coffee on a ship. They should be able to serve it in the MDR and Lido. Not all uf us can afford a suite with the Neptune coffee machines.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right -- they should serve good coffee everywhere on the ship - not just where you have to pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realnurse2 Posted August 27, 2012 #10 Share Posted August 27, 2012 The nice pastries and sometimes sandwiches on some ships are sttill free when you buy a coffee/tea. Actually, unless that 'policy' has changed recently, I have never had to make any purchase at the 'Explorations Cafe' in order to obtain any pastries, etc.! I have just requested and received any pastry that I wished & they were given to me, without question! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted August 27, 2012 Author #12 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Thank you -- we never get Brownies in the Neptune Lounge and I love them. So I shall ask for one sometime when we sail on HAL again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O2B@C Posted August 27, 2012 #14 Share Posted August 27, 2012 ... Do not believe i[n] paying for a good cup of coffee on a ship. They should be able to serve it in the MDR and Lido....:) ... You are right -- they should serve good coffee everywhere on the ship - not just where you have to pay for it. Actually, the capuccinos that are free in the MDR at meals are pretty good, and the room service breakfast coffee is not bad - nothing to write home about, but perfectly drinkable. Plus, the Explorations Cafe prices are well below prices for comparable items at Starbucks - not to mention the free pastries! So all in all, I think HAL does pretty well by its passengers when it comes to coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising-along Posted August 27, 2012 #16 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I like to use some of my OBC for specialty coffee in the Explorations Cafe. I love the mochas, something I don't usually have at home. All part of the pampering. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
localady Posted August 27, 2012 #17 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Actually, I love the Explorations Cafe! :D The coffee is good, the pastries are tasty, and everything that I purchase is half off of the reasonable price because I am a 4 Star Mariner. Now that is Win-Win! :D We generally make a trip up there at least once a day while onboard. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

localady Posted August 27, 2012 #22 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Not much different than your neighborhood Starbucks. Actually it's cheaper, and the view, at least in the Vista and Signature class ships, is absolutely amazing, way better than Starbucks!!! ;) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
