What is the Explorations Cafe?

[chrismch]

We're sailing on the Oosterdam and the deck plans for the top deck shows this cafe next to the lounge. This isn't the Lido deck.

 

Do they have any Asian offerings like Jade on some of their other ships?

[Krazy Kruizers]

The Explorations Café is a coffee/tea area -- not free and also where you can get pastries for free along with your coffee and tea. This area is also the Internet area and the Library.

It is the same offerings on all ships.

Some HAL ships, Eurodam and Nieuw Amsterdam for sure, have Tamarind which has an Asian menu. Other than that, the main dining room has some Asian offerings on the menu at lunch or dinner, but not every day.

Anybody know if the Explore4 signature beverage package is valid in Explorations cafe?

Yes.

 

However, if you are a 3 or 4* Mariner, you get a better price by using that. (This works best if you have the Explore 4 with the beverage card.)

@RuthC Thanks. Still working toward our third star...

[PatsyAnne]

I think there is always an Asian choice/section for lunch in the Lido, and it changes from day to day, as in Thai one day and Indonesian the next. Corrections welcome!

It is a library, passenger computer center and specialty coffee bar. The coffee here is NOT gratis.

I loved dining at Tamarind. Does HAL have any plans to add it fleetwide?

They can't -- weight of the Silk Den, Tamarind and it's kitchen is too much for the older ships to support.

Cioccolato Creamice - is this the same thing as a Starbucks Frappuccino, or McD's Mocha Frappe?

[IsanTom]

They have great burgers!

[Fouremco]

The Explorations Café doesn't serve hamburgers. Maybe you are confusing it with the Dive-In at the Terrace Grill.

It surely is. I have one almost every day.

Thank you for the info Cave! I love them, but I can't have one every day. :) Time for everyone to buy Carnival Corp. stock - their revenues from HAL are about to go way up.
