Can’t be used at an actual Starbucks if one is on the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVHillbilly Posted August 16, 2021 #4 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I'll also add these are coffees that are made by the cup not in a pot left on the burner. Some ships have a standalone "Starbucks" those are not included. The coffees in Cafe Promenade or Cafe Latitudes can be Starbucks, Seattle's Best or another name brand specialty coffee. They make Americanos, Latte's hot and iced and exspresso. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richsea Posted August 17, 2021 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I bought the non alcoholic drink package for my wife on AOS in 2019, & she got a Starbucks coffee every day, so I think it’s included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you’re right, I must be getting old! So what’s the name of the coffee place on deck 5 just aft of the of the Cafe Promenade? It’s kind of out in the promenade? That’s the place I meant. I thought it was a Starbucks. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted August 19, 2021 #12 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Agreed that it's any coffee that has an upcharge, including coffee with alcohol added. Haven't sailed on a ship with Starbucks but as mentioned that is an exclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, when we were on Adventure a few weeks ago, Starbucks was included in the drink package at Cafe Promenade. However, if the ship has a stand alone Starbucks shop (Navigator, for example), Starbucks is not included in the drink package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, I should have written "Haven't sailed on a ship with a stand alone Starbucks...". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pasodancer Posted August 19, 2021 #15 Share Posted August 19, 2021 The Windjammer has a bar - they have specialty (aka liquor added) coffee drinks there - I know there is an Irish Coffee and an amazing coffee w/ whatever liquor, whipped cream, & white chocolate shavings. That is always a daily stop for me after breakfast (w/ mimosa's). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I learned that always give them at least 10 minutes to make the drink - think they (attendant) needed some coffee themselves! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, that was where we got what I thought was Starbucks on Adventure, the kiosk was right aft of Cafe Promenade. So I guess I’m not altogether nuts!

They don’t have a stand alone Starbucks but use Starbucks beans and cups. At least they did in June. I miss Illy espresso 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my instance, it was with alcohol. I did have the drink package. And was told I could not get it with the drink package. Then they brought it, no charge. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
