Emerald Princess - Speciality Coffee

[FiggyWig]

I enjoy a nice coffee..not just an Espresso but the flavoured type with whipped cream etc on top, and am contemplating getting a coffee package for my forthcoming cruise. But was wondering if Emerald has any Speciality Coffee venues aside of the regular Cafes or Bars or can anyone let me know a bit more about what the coffee package includes..better still are there any menus out there ?

Thanks

We disembarked the Emerald last Friday. You can get the specialty coffees at the International Cafe on deck 5 and Coffee and Cones on deck 15.

in the mdr - it seems like we are offered a 'coffee menu' at the end of the meal that has 'some' specialty coffees ...

 

are these included in the coffee package or the PBP ?

On the Emerald specialty coffees are available at the International Cafe 24/7 located on deck 5. You can also get them at Coffee & Cones by the main pools. I'm not certain of this venue's hours, but it isn't 24/7. There may be another bar where they have espresso drinks. The details of what is included, terms & conditions, is shown below. A March 2019 list of menu items is also in the attachment. The price is $36.58 for 15 espresso drinks and the unlimited coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Although the first term mentions that the package number may vary by itinerary, I have not seen this yet. I have only seen the 15 drink package.

• The package includes the pre-purchase of a specified number of specialty coffees (numbers vary by itinerary) during the voyage of purchase, as well as complimentary brewed coffee and hot chocolate.

This is great information - thank you.  So to summarise if I were to purchase a coffee package I will be able to get 15 coffees from any of the items the list given for the IC at no further cost? Is there much the same type of menu in Coffee & Cones ?  I think the Iced Coffee will be of great interest to me while at this venue given that we will be in the Med in the height of summer.   I presume most from this list are what they classify as 'Speciality', so in which case I'm not sure what is meant by 'Brewed' which, according to this is complementary - sorry if that me being dumb but can someone clarify ?

 

Thanks

The menus should be the same. 

Yes, all items on the menu are included in the 15 specialty coffees. A few items with a double shot of espresso may count as two drinks.

Brewed coffee is a good quality drip brewed arabica coffee. It is available in both regular and decaf. You can get unlimited brewed coffee with the package. On other ships the brewed coffee has only been available at the I.C., not at Coffee & Cones. The free coffee in the buffet is prepared from a liquid concentrate. It isn't as good. Unlimited hot chocolate and tea. The tea is a higher quality mighty leaf tea. The free tea available in the buffet is Lipton, and a variety of Twinnings. It is good tea. The hot chocolate is prepared with hot foamed milk. I don't remember any free hot chocolate on the Emerald, but there could have been packets in the buffet.
