clairebearinaus Posted March 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Hi all, I've got a quick question about coffee on board. If I were to buy a coffee card, or AIBP, where can I get a proper espresso coffee? Is it only available if I traipse down to the International Café (I'll be on one of the upper decks) or can I also grab a latte on the open decks somewhere, or in the MDR or buffet with breakfast? Also, is it any good? I'm an inner Melbournite so my standards are pretty high :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted March 2, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 2, 2016 On Dawn you could also get espresso-based coffees in the Horizon Court, and I'm fairly sure there was something similar on Sun. The espresso on Dawn was very nice (especially from the Patisserie) but I avoid lattes onboard as they use UHT milk and if it's even the slightest bit oversteamed it tastes awful to me. Can't remember what it was like on Sun, bad latte but OK espresso, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted March 2, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 2, 2016 It might be better if you ask all your questions in the one thread, rather than a whole heap of different ones. Most of us here check all new posts regularly, regardless of whether they are in an existing thread or a new one. Having everything in one thread means others can easily reference the questions/answers as well, and if they are skimming through after finding out about one thing they might learn something they didn't realise they needed to know. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clairebearinaus Posted March 2, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Fair enough, I thought I was being polite not hijacking the other one with an unrelated question :) People have been tarred and feathered for less on other forums I frequent...

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted March 2, 2016 #5 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Since your initial thread asks for some Sun, Sea & Dawn knowledge, that just about covers everything you can think of. :D :D :D Anyway threads on this particular forum seem to wander off-topic occasionally and it doesn't seem to bother anyone. ;) With a bit of luck the mods will merge the two threads anyway.

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted March 2, 2016 #9 Share Posted March 2, 2016 There is no International Cafe on the Dawn. Unfortunately. I found the coffee service at the Patisserie on Dawn was better than at the International Cafe on Sun. On Sun the baristas seemed to be stuffing around like they didn't know what they were doing, and the espresso wasn't always perfect. On Dawn the service was brillant and so was the espresso.

silverwillow Posted March 2, 2016 #10 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I think you can also use your coffee card at the main dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted March 2, 2016 #11 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I think you can also use your coffee card at the main dining room. Yes, you can but it can take a while for the coffee to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
