Carnival will be charging for specialty coffee in the MDR

[sail2day]

I just read that Carnival will now be charging for Espresso and Cappuccino in the MDR.

As in the Cheetos' commerical: "Yes we know!":D

On all ships? If so Im all set with the Espresso.

Starting on Carnival Miracle and then rolling out fleetwide.

 

They say they've upgraded the quality of the Espresso and Capuccino to that of the coffee shops.

Where did you see this? I only read it was being tried on one ship.

 

When did it go fleetwide? wow such changes in a less than a week?

 

I thought this was just a trial .. next thing I know, someone is saying its for sure going fleetwide? wow.

Let's be very honest the free cappucchino in the MDR was plain awful. I always buy cappucchino at the coffee bar and it's day and night difference with the MDR.

[Sargent_Schultz]

Currently on 2 ships (Miracle and Breeze) and I doubt it will ever go fleet wide.

 

It seems to coincide with the ships that roll out Punchline Comedy Brunch.

 

The cappuccino and espresso on those ships is a superior product made with superior machines and superior coffee. More like the specialty coffees sold at the on ship coffee bar.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if a Jeerleader comes along to dispute it, but those are the facts.

JH said it would be charged when the ships get Punchliner Brunch. There was a link to the schedule of rollouts and what ships.

I saw this in the release on Cruise Critic's Facebook page.

In related added-fee news, Carnival has begun charging for specialty coffees -- $2 for espressos, $2.95 for lattes and cappuccinos -- during lunch and dinner in Carnival Miracle's main dining room. The line has long offered these coffee drinks at no extra cost, but plans eventually to roll out the new fees fleetwide.

And to think once upon a time food, with exception of alcohol and soda was basically included.

This must be the "free drink" perk (pardon the pun:rolleyes:) as a part of the new levels program!

some people liked it. i never had a problem with it.

 

before they also do this with coffee, they should offer both free and the buy up cap/esp.

Did you have anything to do with buying the "new" machines?

Did you install these machines?

Did you buy the coffee(superior product)?

 

I am not a jeerleader...just deal with facts

Besides the specialty coffee shops...yeah not all that great either

Hasn't this been beaten enough on 3 or 4 threads already? Geesh, Can't folks do a search before clicking the new thread button:mad::eek:

I don't think there is any dispute that the specialty coffee shops make a superior product to the standard MDR product. How stupid would Carnival be to charge for one but not the other? Nobody is holding a gun to your head and making you purchase either.

 

 

I am not under the impression that it will NOT be rolled out fleet wide.

[gobucks_43228]

My hubz is bummed but not bummed enough to not buy it. What's $25 ($3 per night for 8 nights) in the grand scheme of costs.

 

Sargent_schultz are ou on the Breeze right now? Can ou confirm if the aft pool/hot tub is adult only?

Bummer.

This is another cutback if this is true.

Sorry but no and no. I know they aren't adults only on Magic.

I think I misread a previous post and assumed you were posting live. Sorry about that! Thanks :)

I do drink the stuff from the coffee shops some days as a treat. I am ok with coffee only and my dessert. Things like this just dont bother me as much. It is nice to know not to order it if I really dont care to pay extra for it. Im ok either way.
