I believe it's green Mountain, but not sure. I stopped cruising RCCL because all they serve is Star Bucks and I just don't like that coffee.

International Cafe/all specialty coffee locations uses whole beans ground on site. The coffee in MDR/Buffets (except Regal/Royal & Newer ships buffet) is a syrup.

Charles4515 Posted July 30, 2020 #8 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Princess doesn't use Star Bucks. I believe it's green Mountain, but not sure. I stopped cruising RCCL because all they serve is Star Bucks and I just don't like that coffee. RCCL has used Lavazza for quite a few years as their complementary coffee. On a few ships they have a Starbucks that you pay extra for. I don’t know who Princess uses but Green Mountain is Keurig. In my opinion the coffee served on Royal Caribbean is better than on Princess. But that is not saying much.

skynight Posted July 30, 2020 #10 Share Posted July 30, 2020 On the Sapphire Princess and other grand class ships the free coffee in the buffet, room service, DR's is prepared from a liquid concentrate. Coffee and espresso at the International Cafe is prepared from whole beans. I don't know the actual brand, but it is an arabica coffee with a normal roast. Free coffee on Royal class ships is prepared from a ground coffee blend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Flyer Posted July 30, 2020 #12 Share Posted July 30, 2020 As I recall the coffee used at the International Café was “illy“ which is headquartered in Trieste, Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpeabody Posted July 30, 2020 #15 Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) AFIK Illy has not been served on board Princess ships unless it was a very long time ago. This is the coffee brand served in the pay venues on board the Princess ships. Edited July 30, 2020 by hpeabody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brand is not as important as the quality level. The syrup suppliers have different levels of quality at different price points. It has been suggested that Princess is not purchasing the highest quality level offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimer Posted August 1, 2020 #20 Share Posted August 1, 2020 John, remember Coffee is very subjective and always in the eyes of the beholder and sometimes the Barista will make a difference. We know this Barista that makes art out of his coffees and many ladies love him. Here are a few of his creations and a price list from 2019, just to show you the varieties available.

mevs904 Posted August 1, 2020 #21 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Wow! Those coffees are gorgeous! We’ve had some excellent baristas on our Princess cruises, but never one that created anything that lovely. I’d be reluctant to drink it and spoil it.

It is an extra charge RCCL regular free coffee is very good, The only way we cruise Princess and drink that terrible coffee served in Buffet or Dining Room is to buy a coffee card that you can get drip coffee from International cafe.
