LoriLoriLori Posted February 16, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Hello, does Starbucks on Royal Caribbean have regular brewed hot coffee? Or, do they have only espresso to make specialty coffees? I love Starbucks regular medium roast coffee (Pike's Peak). Some members have posted the menus on the ships and I don't see regular coffee, just specialty coffees. How about the complimentary coffee on the ship? Is it good? Thank you.

Lyneham1 Posted February 16, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2015 From an Australian's perspective it is not very good at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriLoriLori Posted February 16, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thank you. I love a good cup of coffee and was afraid that the coffee provided on the ship might not be that great. I'm hoping I can get a cup of Starbuck's coffee every morning. I'll resort to a latte or a cappuccino if I have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookwife Posted February 16, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I believe they call it an Americano at the Starbucks at Sea.. however Starbucks is not a 'good' cup of coffee. despite their PR firm. I actually prefer the Seattle's Best( although it too,isn't 'good' coffee) but until they contract with Tim Horton's, we are out of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted February 16, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I actually prefer the Seattle's Best( although it too,isn't 'good' coffee).. You do know that Starbucks is the parent company of Seattle's Best, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookwife Posted February 16, 2015 #6 Share Posted February 16, 2015 You do know that Starbucks is the parent company of Seattle's Best, right? yes but they don't burn Seattle's Best beans when roasting. still not great coffee but less painful than Starbucks.

Lyneham1 Posted February 16, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 16, 2015 If that is Seattle's Best then I would hate to try their worst! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffy116 Posted February 16, 2015 #8 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I like Seattle's Best and don't like Starbucks coffee. The poster was right. Starbucks tastes burned. I like the Seattle's best on the ship and I've never had a problem with the coffee in the MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaNana Posted February 16, 2015 #9 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Don't recall getting Starbucks coffee only the specialties. I happen to like Seattle's Best. Each to their own, not sure why they have to bash coffee when you only asked a question! :confused: You go, you choose and enjoy! My cruise isn't centered around my morning coffee but it certainly helps the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that after your cruise you come back and let us know. Also make sure you let us know what ship. If it's Allure or Oasis, using Starbucks will be nice and specific. If you're on any other ship that doesn't have "a Starbucks", make sure to let us know that, or use Cafe Lattetudes, etc, whatever the name of the espresso place you find out about. :) It's a question that's asked often, but I've never seen it properly answered. I personally think they'll make you an Americano (shot of espresso with hot water put in it to make it brewed-coffee-ish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thetrail Posted February 16, 2015 #12 Share Posted February 16, 2015 From an Australian's perspective it is not very good at all.First to the OP's question , yes starbucks does have a "regular" coffee onboard, secondly have drank Seattles Best for years on RC and find it not so bad, and it's free.....K.O.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didicruiser Posted February 16, 2015 #13 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I have only seen Americano coffee. I don't recall seeing "regular coffee". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCI Cruisers 004 Posted February 16, 2015 #14 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Yes you can get a regular cup of coffee . And like others have posted, neither Starbucks or Seattle's best is very good, but it is coffee ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Viking Posted February 16, 2015 #15 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Glad to hear that I am not the only one who does not accept the marketing hype of Starbucks. It is horrible coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have regular coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted February 16, 2015 #18 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Can you use starbucks gift cards (gold member) onboard? Only at the Starbucks on Oasis and Allure. Not sure if Quantum has a branded Starbucks venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriLoriLori Posted February 17, 2015 Author #19 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yes, it's Pike's Place at Starbuck's. I mistakenly called it Pike's Peak. ha Anyway, to each their own on coffee. I make Folger's 100% Columbian at home in my Bonavita and I like the occasional Pike's Place at Starbuck's. Thanks for the input. I'm going on the Enchantment, and not sure if they even have a Starbuck's, although I think I recall reading that they did. I rarely order a specialty coffee and prefer regular coffee and was hoping I could get a grande Pike's Place from Starbucks. Thanks again for the replies.
