jimlouisesophie Posted July 17, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Is the 24 hours a day International cafe located on deck 14 and is the regular coffee/tea (not special) complimentary. Looks like a good place to get a snack in between meals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it is not 24 hours and it is very limited in choices because it was added to the ship after the fact. It is not like Grand/Royal Class ships. The HC buffet on deck 14 would have coffee stations 24/7 complimentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltd Posted July 17, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 17, 2019 IC is on deck 6 connected to the Casino. Not really 24 hours. There are a couple of hours in the early morning that they do cleanup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltd Posted July 17, 2019 #4 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Don't think there has ever been complimentary coffee In the IC unless you have a coffee card or pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elliair Posted July 18, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 18, 2019 The IC on the Coral is nothing to write home about that's for sure. As someone said, it's located right next to the casino and one can smell cigarette smoke coming from the casino. Out of all the Princess ships we have been on, the Coral IC IMHO isn't up to par with the other Princess ships. If you want coffee 24/7 go to HC on Lido.

UpcountryTravelers Posted July 18, 2019 #7 Share Posted July 18, 2019 But it does have something the others don't. A separate sitting area with tables. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I truly dislike the smell of cigarette smoke, but haven’t been troubled by the Coral IC’s proximity to the casino. Perhaps it’s because we usually don’t go there during the time when the casino is really busy. Despite the fact that we’ve been in the IC in other (bigger) ships we still enjoy the Coral’s IC.

The International Cafe is smaller than on some other ships, but we found the staff attentive, the coffee good, and there were always some cakes, sandwiches, bites to eat stocked. Maybe a smaller selection than on newer ships. No smoke issue for us during the day from the casino, although maybe that's different at night when casino is busy.

Tyskie Posted July 18, 2019 #10 Share Posted July 18, 2019 We loved the IC on Coral - cozy I guess you would say and love the little tables and seating area. Was not bothered by the Casino smoke - usually no one is in the casino. Food choices were adequate for our needs. Coral is still one of my favorite Princess ships.

For some brief period before they were cleaning up / getting ready for the day ahead. Squeezed into the casino space such as it is, the IC on Coral these days is miles ahead of the original Plaza Deck "La Patisserie' " which was nothing more than a tray of pastries & pot of coffee. Coral remains a favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseVA Posted July 19, 2019 #13 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I thoroughly enjoyed the IC on the Coral on the 2 cruises we did on her (Alaska & Panama Canal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbyfarmer2 Posted July 19, 2019 #14 Share Posted July 19, 2019 The Coral IC on the 6'th deck is smallish but has a seating area. Not as much choice as the bigger ships with fewer sandwices and salads but just fine if you are not very fussy. You can get any kind of coffee or tea as well and the staff is very nice.

However, coffee is included at the buffet - while, some people find that coffee far inferior, you can always go to the buffet and just grab a cup (there are self-serve coffee dispensers in the buffet).
