FrenchPeach Posted September 11, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 11, 2012 a package for specialty coffees (espresso, capuccino, cafe latte etc.). Is this not offered on Celebrity? On Princess, you can get a soda package and/or a specialty coffee package. I hate to think that I have to spend over $200 just in order to get my daily java fix. :confused: Help!

Well, I would love for Princess to have the same drink package that Celebrity has. Unfortunately this will not happen any time soon. Does this stop me from sailing with Princess. Absolutely no!

That wasn't the response that I was looking for but in any case, I just found it on another board. Looks like it really does not exist on Celebrity and that's what I wanted to know. Thanks.

rwr235 Posted September 11, 2012 #4 Share Posted September 11, 2012 As you discovered...no Coffee Card/Coffee Package on Celebrity. I find the Premium Beverage Package quite a worthwhile option for me...and one of the reasons is because I drink several (or more):D Double/Double Large Lattes throughout the day/evening...I find the regular, free coffee mostly "less than tolerable"...so my caffeine addiction fix, coupled with several bottles of water, and adult beverages makes the package well worth the price in my situation. Hopefully you'll be able to determine if one of the packages is worthwhile for you as well. Enjoy Woody (again) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a million, I too love my daily (two, three...) caffeine fixes so I will be getting a package. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix_dream Posted September 11, 2012 #6 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I am not a coffee fanatic, but unless one wants to buy several specialty coffees per day I can't understand buying a beverage package for that reason alone. Now if you will make use of the other beverages as well that's another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biker1972 Posted September 11, 2012 #7 Share Posted September 11, 2012 You can get your caps or lattes by the drink or you can get a non-alcoholic package at $14 per day plus tip. At $4 a cup with number 4 you have run the cost above the package price. My suggestion would be to board without the package (first day is a short day) go a day or 2 and see what you drink. Then opt for the package if it makes cents for you. You only pay for the remaining days of the cruise so it does not hurt you to try it that way. If you purchase before or on the first day you in for the entire cruise and cannot opt out. With the package you will get bottled water, soft drinks (not canned) and juices. The premium package costs $4 more and includes smoothies and canned pop as well as "better" :rolleyes: water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texmex.ferr Posted September 11, 2012 #8 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Whilst the subject of coffee is being debated here, what size of cups, mugs etc do they have on board ship (Eclipse). I see Woody (rwr235) refers to Double/Double large Lattes, is this served in a mug or how does it differ from a regular coffee cup? and are there price differences, if beverage packages are purchased are the Large lattes included? Thanks for any help.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riandei Posted September 12, 2012 #9 Share Posted September 12, 2012 The frappes are worth the cost of the package....oh so yummy....the iced tea served at Bacio is a very nice touch....must order it there ...not the same when ordered TO GO We havent regretted the bev pkg.

debandbruce Posted September 12, 2012 #10 Share Posted September 12, 2012 In Cafe Al Bacio the cup size is similar to a grande at Starbucks. In the dining room you will get just a regular coffee cup size. I love the specialty coffees on Celebrity and always get a non-alcoholic drink package to cover all my drink needs. You do get more than sodas, you can have mocktails, fresh squeezed juice, water, vitamin water and smoothies. I too wish that Princess had a card like Celebrity's as I don't wish to buy a coffee card. It would be nice if both lines offered an option for cruisers who would like both or just the seperate packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lsimon Posted September 12, 2012 #11 Share Posted September 12, 2012 ... if beverage packages are purchased are the Large lattes included?... Good question and I'd like to know the answer to this as well. Can I get double, or even a triple, shot shots of espresso in my coffee under a classic or premium N.A. package?
