There is no charge for the cakes and pastries.

Hello

You pay depending on the drink package you have. My daughter had the Premium non-alcoholic package and coffees and teas were included.

First - all pastries are delicious and free to everybody. However, there is a charge for gelato.

I believe that all non-alcoholic coffee beverages and tea are covered by both Classic and Premium - hopefully that has not changed recently.

With Classic, like every other bar, if you order a beverage like coffee with alcohol in it, you would pay the difference between the Classic limit and the actual price, perhaps a few dollars.

Although we always have the Classic Package, we wish it was a pay extra venue for all.

 

It is now overowded at many times....sometimes more bar than cafe...and a place where card players stake out tables for long periods.

 

We still hope for a nice afternoon tea or coffee with a pastry...guitar player etc...but no longer the cozy, tranquil spot it used to be!

Does anyone know if there are any gluten free cakes available here?

[Sail Girl]

I have seen gluten free cookies but not cakes. They may be available and displayed in the case. The cookies are atop on the counter and are readily seen.

We have also noticed that it usually hard to get a seat, especially since Celebrity started offering drink packages as a perk. If there is no where to sit, we get our coffee and sweets to go, and usually find somewhere nearby to sit. The line for drinks at the counter usually goes pretty quick.

Agree, we sometimes have to look elsewhere for a nice relaxing spot ....we always looked forward to going to Baccio e in the afternoon when the pool area becomes saturated, but now it can be a challenge

The elevated serving area on M-class is where the card room used to be - hence many card players still gravitate to there.

I have found this as well, that it is getting busier and more crowded. Hats off to the workers behind the counter who seem to be going non-stop now.

If you have the Classic Package but don't want to pay for a simple boozy Coffee - just pick up a shot if your favourite tipple from a bar and bring it with you to cafe and pour it in your coffee - pretty unsophisticated but with some spirits it's fine. I'm still waiting to find somewhere in the world that makes an Irish Coffee as well as they do at the Buena Vista Cafe in San Francisco.
