Georgie562 Posted October 3, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Is the classic beverage package accepted there? Can you get a decent cup of tea and coffee with the package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruza Posted October 3, 2014 #9 Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) What time does it open? Just off Silhouette - Depends on port. Usually it opens 7:00 am but if ships docks/tender in 7 am (like Santorini), it was opened in 6:30 am Edited October 3, 2014 by cruza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatloafsfan Posted October 3, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Is the classic beverage package accepted there? Can you get a decent cup of tea and coffee with the package? Yes, they have an excellent selection of Tea Forte. It is served in a small teapot with a cup on the side so you can steep as little or as much as you like. They also have some unique iced teas which are fresh brewed and served over a pitcher of ice. As well, if you like "just coffee" (not lattes or cappicinos or capafrapamochachinomachiatos), try an Americano (2 shots of espresso and then the remainder of the cup is filled with hot water - if you find that too strong - you can get an Americano with only 1 shot of espresso). You can get milk or cream (and sugar / sugar substitutes) on the side and end up with a regular style cup of coffee much better than what is available at the buffet, dining room or through room service.

OCA REP Posted October 3, 2014 #13 Share Posted October 3, 2014 What time does it open? On our Summit cruise back in July, it opened at 6:30 AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conshydot Posted October 3, 2014 #14 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Just a reminder: you do NOT have to buy a coffee/tea to get the pastries. Those are complimentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wine-O Posted October 3, 2014 #15 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Yes, definitely. And great muffins and donuts! They have the best blueberry muffins on the ship. If you're not there by 8am, they will be all gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTElkwhistle Posted October 3, 2014 #16 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I was always their first customer when I was on Eclipse, sometimes they didn't even have the pastries out. Great cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisecriticmember Posted October 3, 2014 #17 Share Posted October 3, 2014 You are all making me hungry! LOL. We were on the Solstice in September and Cafe al Bacio was open at 7am, or as others have pointed out, earlier if there was an early port of call. We frequented the location MULTIPLE times a day for coffee and sweets. Probably the best bakery we have ever experienced on a cruise ship. Just a reminder of the deliciousness! Bon Appetite! Cheesecake, eclair, and ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warmwinds Posted October 3, 2014 #18 Share Posted October 3, 2014 We went often for the afternoon cakes - never went for breakfast, will have to try those blueberry muffins. They often made a dulce de leche cake with the most delicious creamy merengue all over it. I'd ask for a corner piece and yum that all off.

kevinyork Posted October 3, 2014 #20 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Lovely, get down for an early morning latte before everyone begins to stir Or reserve your seat because later in the day it will be impossible to get a seat (worse than finding a sunbed) as people use it as a reading room and never move on. Weve done two trips on Eclipse and to date not been able to find a seat. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sccat Posted October 3, 2014 #21 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Is the classic beverage package accepted there? Can you get a decent cup of tea and coffee with the package? yes, your classic drink pkg works there. Also in late afternoon they usually have great mini-sandwiches in additional to the pastries. Makes a lovely snack especially if you have late dining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a lovely snack especially if you have late dining. I think they've done away with those mini-sandwiches, at least on the M-Class. Moved the afternoon Tea snacks to the Aqua Spa Café.

Cruise a holic Posted October 3, 2014 #24 Share Posted October 3, 2014 What time does it open? Yes 7:00 AM Except the day of disembarkation, they open earlier- not sure if 6 or 6:30. It is covered the morning of departure if you have the beverage package. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisecriticmember Posted October 3, 2014 #25 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I want to say it was some kind of Cafe De leche Cake. My memory is a bit foggy as I ate too many desserts during the week! The donuts were also incredible! They are nice and small, so it does not sound too bad when you say you had a few donuts for breakfast. Or second breakfast! Tres leches (three milks) cakes are YUM!
