Clearly, you have not been on the Coral Princess. The area around the IC (but not the coffee bar) is railed in. Perhaps to separate it from the Casino. The coffee servers did not wait on tables. You went up to their bar and placed your order and they asked if you wanted a take-out cup. During 10 days on the Coral, there was never any lack of seating in the area for IC customers although there were a number of times that people were pursuing other activities in the area. 

The Coral is unique with its IC being on deck 6, and not on 5. The last time I was on Coral was prior to the IC being installed.

 I'm not a coffee drinker so this is a question of curiosity.  Can't you ask that your coffee be served in a cup and saucer? As far as a "ceramic pot" I don't know when I've seen one of those in a commercial coffee establishment but, again, I'm not a coffee person.

Yes Tom, I can and I do. I didn't intend to give the impression that the staff refuse to, just that it seem to be their go-to norm these days. True most coffee shops don't provide you with a pot, but Princess does when you're using a coffee card and opt for the brewed coffee. I've been given a pot and 2 cup/saucers. Though I understand that Princess is getting more picky about sharing the brewed coffee from a card.

Oh, okay. My wife is a coffee drinker and now that you mentioned it, I seem to remember seeing her getting a small pot and cup/saucer on occasion. Thanks for the info!
