Later in the day you might see carrot cake, coconut cake, cupcakes etc. Years ago they served a great carrot cake and German chocolate cake but not any longer the current carrot cake is not as tasty probably using lower quality ingredients 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only am I not a fan of the lemon tarts I also do not care for the chocolate ones which appear periodically. I love the lemon ones. A while back they had a Honey filled one. It was impossible to even try to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted November 9, 2023 #30 Share Posted November 9, 2023 My only complaint is that all the cakes I've tasted ---- look far better than they tasted. Especially the ones with the shiny frosting. I've gotten to the point I don't even try them anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Pkg has an upper limit (mine was $10, but it may have gone up over the summer?) and some of the drinks were over that by a dollar or two. while Bailey’s is below the price limit of the Classic package it is specifically called out as being on the Premium package. I never figured out why, just ordered my Coffee & Bailey’s or my Aspen and showed my card with the Premium package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto Jim, though I still try just to be sure 🙂 I've also found that many tasted all the same no matter how different they looked. I really liked the Berliner donuts they used to have a (few years ago) but sadly have not seen them around anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, does the Classic Beverage Package enable you to get all of their specialty coffees, lattes, teas, expressos, etc. that are listed on their menu, for free? Thanks in advance! The baked goods at Al Bacio are included in your cruise fare. At least for now. Edited November 9, 2023 by horseymike mistake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our past cruises they have had the regular size croissants instead of the mini ones they have had in al Bacio recently. Iain is a late sleeper and we have never made breakfast in Lumina.

Rare niksmom630 Posted November 9, 2023 #42 Share Posted November 9, 2023 We are on Apex in a few weeks…the app doesn’t contain information on opening times for the Cafe. Is in a 24 hour venue, or if not, is there a 24 hour coffee station located somewhere on Edge class ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH is an early riser And if there’s no coffee available anywhere before 6 or 6:30 am, he won’t be a happy camper. Nor will I be if I have to be awakened by room service at 5 am everyday for him to get his coffee! 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
