daka Posted October 27, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2016 We are just off the ROYAL (today) and I just needed to have a word about the coffee. With so many posts about this in the past few weeks I found that the coffee that was available in the Main Dining Room and at the dispensers in the Horizon to be fairly good....much better that what I expected...and better by far than the coffee on Celebrity and R/C...More about the balance of the cruise later... GENERAL IMPRESSION.....We enjoyed the ROYAL PRINCESS just a bit better than CELEBRITY S class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMS8 Posted October 27, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2016 We feel the same way. My DW and I have been loyal Celebrity cruisers for nearly 20 years. We took our first Princess cruise in March of this year on Royal Princess and liked it so much, we are going back in January. The nicest ship we've ever sailed on, certainly better coffee in the MDR than on any Celebrity cruise we've ever taken. Food in the MDR was better than Celebrity since the days of Michel Roux. Food on Celebrity has gone drastically down hill IMHO since Mr Roux left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IECalCruiser Posted October 27, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) The brewed from ground coffee in the HC on the Royal and Regal is certainly a significant step up from the coffee from concentrate on other Princess ships.

GENERAL IMPRESSION.....We enjoyed the ROYAL PRINCESS just a bit better than CELEBRITY S class I know that the buffet's filtered coffee machines on the Royal & Regal use ground coffee which I thought was much better than the coffee made from concentrate on other Princess ships. I'm guessing they use the same coffee machines in the Royal & Regal's dining rooms but I've never seen them & are probably in the galley. With the improved quality of free coffee that resulted in fewer trips for us to the IC for brewed coffee. Thanks for your quick general impression of the Royal Princess & will watch for more information. We've enjoyed 6 weeks during 3 cruises on the Royal & Regal and have another 2 weeks booked on the Royal in the future. :) Edited October 27, 2016 by Astro Flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Flyer Posted October 28, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 28, 2016 YESThe coffee is MUCH better than I expected.... After all the discussion about this I was very pleased with the Horizon buffet coffee....MUCH better than what is (was?) served on our last Celebrity cruise...

pris993 Posted October 28, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 28, 2016 We are elite on Princess and Celebrity...going on the royal in 2017, have held off because of the new design similar to Celebrity which we tried and tried... on the Eclipse, Equinox, and Silhouette.... just did not like that much. So very happy to hear you like the Royal better.. Agree about the food on Princess vs Celebrity as well... Princess is much more flexible and accomodating off menu requests... we even tried Blu on X, much prefer the Crown Grill on Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, your previous posts complaining about the coffee were made before you had cruised on princess? http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=51052752&postcount=101 Edited October 28, 2016 by pablo222 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
