jmcross Posted December 13, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Is the coffee machine still available in the diamond lounge or closed due to Covid? Can you use your drink allotment for specialty coffee? If so, is there a limit on size? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted December 13, 2021 #3 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Early on during the restart the DL coffee machine was available but a crew member was there to take your order and push the buttons. As protocols have been easing ships have been reverting to self serve. If a more impactful variant comes along I suppose they could revert to using a crew member to operate it. You can use a diamond voucher for a specialty coffee but at the price point if you plan to use all of your vouchers for alcoholic drinks you'd be better to pay for the coffee if you go this route and save your vouchers.

On Harmony there was someone stationed at the machine making it for you. Most of the time they couldn't comprehend you wanted a double espresso then an Americano on top of it.☺️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some times a groan can be heard behind me as I reach for a second cup for my wife. Life is slowly returning to normal, the new normal is fading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted December 13, 2021 #7 Share Posted December 13, 2021 DL on Harmony both last week and prior week was crew member served. They were way more up on it than the SL...which was never open on time, and were greeted by annoyance when we did ask for some. Much better reception in the DL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Viewer Posted December 13, 2021 #8 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Allure is self service this week again, 2 or 3 button pours are common, got to fill those cups ☕. It's a pretty mellow morning group. Except this morning someone was requesting one specific strawberry on his fruit plate. Food is still being served by staff members.

Yeah, they groaned when I reached for the second cup, but both are for me. LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcross Posted December 14, 2021 Author #10 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Thanks for the replies. I assume that any size coffee would be okay as long as it's under the $13, right? I am not a big drinker so I don't know if I'll even use 4 vouchers a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vouchers are good for fresh OJ in the morning and sometimes smoothies from the spa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVHillbilly Posted December 14, 2021 #17 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I'm cruising to diamond status and if things go right will be diamond for my fall Enchantment cruise. I find the included coffee to range from terrible to tolerable and looking forward to enjoying my morning coffee in the DL. My question is what type of coffees are available in the DL and are the available all day or just in the am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Availability varies by ship and perhaps even day. The machine makes lattes, mochas, cappuccinos, and espressos with regular and decaf usually Lavazza beans.

However, they do dispense macchiatos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M And they sure were a whole lot more welcoming early in the morning versus the "disruption" we were causing just trying to ask for coffee in the SL. 😮 That is how we ended up at the DL for coffee...once again went into the SL around 7:15 (supposed to be set up by 7 am every morning, confirmed by SL concierge and on the sheet in our cabin). But the coffee machine was shut down, and nothing set up. Was not the only time. 😣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAYA Posted February 7, 2022 #25 Share Posted February 7, 2022 On Mariner departing Jan. 19th it was not self-serve. Someone was there to serve us. I prefer when it's self-serve but just grateful to get decent coffee in the DL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
