alanbab Posted July 18, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 18, 2013 We shall be taking our first cuirse with O on Riviera at the end of August. Is the coffee from Barista's served in paper cups? I notice on the promotional photos that there are 'proper cups' on the counter. Sorry we do so dislike paper cups! We are however looking forward to our first cruise with O having been big Celebrity fans for many years. I have a feeling that our loyalties are about to change!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypercafe Posted July 18, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 18, 2013 They have both types, paper if on the go, china if staying and relaxing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vival Posted July 19, 2013 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Is there a charge for coffee in Barista and if so how much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potterhill Posted July 19, 2013 #4 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Not unless you have grappa or "something similar" added. ;-). Love love love Baristas. And the little snacks they have, especially the oh so very yummy cannelles. Mo Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vival Posted July 19, 2013 #6 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Thanks for the reply. Is there Baristas or similar on Nautica? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TERRIER1 Posted July 19, 2013 #7 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Thanks for the reply. Is there Baristas or similar on Nautica? Not yet but I believe Mr De Rio stated in another post that they were trying to fit one in on the R ships. I may be wrong about this. I love Baristas. Great place to sit when entering the ports.

cbb Posted July 19, 2013 #8 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Could Baristas be added at the bar area in Horizons on R ships? I know (and have used) the small coffee area off to the side early in AM but have rarely seen many people in there other than to grab a cup and perhaps wander over to the front windows.

Rare LHT28 Posted July 19, 2013 #9 Share Posted July 19, 2013 FDR posted in another thread that YES there will be a Barristas & a Grill added to the R-ships when they do the drydock next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will not be added to Horizons unless they eliminate smoking there. I's not a pleasant venue for non-smokers! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LHT28 Posted July 19, 2013 #13 Share Posted July 19, 2013 It would be nice if they could somehow enclose the smoking area on the R-ships in Horizons if they do not want to get rid of it I was thinking or dreaming that on our first O cruise that there was a glass partition on the short wall separating the smoking area Maybe it was wishful thinking :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjdelrio Posted July 19, 2013 #14 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Dear ALL: At dry-dock, Barista's will be added in what is today, the under utilized Grand Bar. The area will multi-task, Barista's until 6:00 pm, the Grand Bar afterwards. The smoking area in Horizons will be totally enclosed and a state of the art air filtration system installed.

kreastman Posted July 19, 2013 #22 Share Posted July 19, 2013 On our recent Marina cruise, we brought along travel mugs so we could take our lattes to our cabins or anywhere else on the ship. Much more convenient than the paper cups, and the mug will hold at least twice as much of your favorite drink. Keeps it hotter, too. Since they were inexpensive, we just left them in our cabin at the end of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time we had to "double up" on the cups as they did not have those hot cup hand protectors. Maybe things have changed since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

potterhill Posted July 20, 2013 #25 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I thought they now have proper cups in Barristas :confused: They do. They got them on Marina in the middle of our cruise that went to Iceland June 2012. One day the cups ere paper, next day they had china cups. Very nice. I hate paper cups!
