Coffee only and It’s a table so it’s easily moved or removed

Thanks, I didn't know it was only a temporary table. 

It seems silly not to provide a coffee section like all the other ships. I frequently get my early morning coffee myself in that section.

 

So now if I want coffee, tea, ice tea, ice or water I have to ask one of the crew to get it for me?  

This ship seems like a step backwards in their design.

They did have pots that they left on the tables in the eatery.
I often sat outside where they didn’t have pots, so  I did wander around with coffee cups at times till someone could help.

The water pkg is still only a bit over $7 so since I didn’t have a pkg I just ordered 2 twelve packs prior to boarding.

Where is there free coffee at 4 AM?

Nowhere that I’m aware of but the Sun did have kettles and coffee packets in the cabin.

will that transfer to US based sailings beginning in October? - otherwise a 4am room service/app for the coffee fix

We asked the room steward after we noticed the request was on the App. I would definitely ask, as I am going to do on my next Sun cruise in October.

When you board, just ask your steward for a kettle and tray, then you can make tea and coffee in your cabin whenever you like.

Yes but typically they don't serve free coffee.

Ordinary coffee is free.
Its only the speciality coffees you pay for.

Unless the Sun Princess is different than the other ships, the IC doesn't serve the regular coffee for free. It's typically served at the buffet area. 

If they do, that's great news.

If the coffee served at the IC was free the queue each day would be huge given its size and staff manning it.

Noise from Casino on Sun Princess?  We will be on Deck 9 in a Cabana Cabin right ABOVE the casino.  I should have checked that out before booking but frankly, I was intrigued by the Cabana MiniSuites.  Does anyone know about the noise level?  I know they have slot machines etc that make a lot of noise and wondered if it carried to the staterooms above.  I think I read from another poster that the smoke from the casino doesn't seem to travel much.  Thanks for any response.

There is no more help yourself. And all waiter served.

I went to IC and got mine.

A little table with hot water and coffee dispensing containers are not what I will call a station. Celebrity has a full section with Coffee brewed, hot water, great choices of teas, lemons, honey, sugar, real cream for coffee, napkins ( on Princess we couldn't find paper napkins), spoons, trash drop, variety of juices in the morning and other drinks at lunch and dinner. 

Not the end of the world, but this should have been taking in consideration in the Eatery design.

This new Sun Princess is very different to us in many ways, especially the layout of the Eatery. Not providing a coffee/drink station is very strange. It's hard to believe the designers of the ship simply overlooked it.

I guess we’ll know if it was a mistake when we see whether or not it makes it to the Star 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks for the info. At least I can get a free cup of their regular coffee at 4 to 5 AM. 😉

Just off the Sun. Regular coffee in IC is free from midnite to 6 am.

They the same thing on other ships until around 6 AM since the buffet isn't usually set up for service until that time.
