This is not the first ship we have been on that this has happened. I am not sure they don’t intend at some point to mend, or replace the machine but I don’t think it is particularly easy to get them serviced. Considering how frequently they break down and the cost of the machines, I am surprised Royal haven’t taken steps to find a new supplier over the years - or perhaps the company has a monopoly and doesn’t need to offer better service? As far as I know the cafe is a franchise so must be compensated by Royal for the service - perhaps that is an alternative. It is certainly not as convenient as having the machine on site when I am in the Diamond lounge relaxing and reading during the day, when want a coffee and a snack. We used the lounge much less on our last sailing during the day than usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would go to cafe promenade in the morning and take the coffee to go and grad another one or two in the afternoon and because the machine is broken it does not count towards your drink as long as it is latte, cappuccino, espresso, coffee. All others will cost a coupon or charge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two steaks is out of the question, but if you want to have fish and the shrimp they may let you depending on how you ask. I had no issues pairing my entree with the shrimp but I had a great server. You should consider a 5:30 seating at Izumi to try a few bites though … it’s worth the stop! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mets123 Posted May 17, 2022 #485 Share Posted May 17, 2022 What time were you in town? It seemed pretty deserted. I'll miss Guavaberry Emporium, I always got a bottle or two to bring home. Is their kiosk in the port area still open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange hours. The kiosk is still open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only hot drinks nothing special ( no mocha no sauce no additions nothing extra). Only drink types you can get out of the machine will be honored other wise you have to use your coupon or package or pay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BennyBrun Posted May 17, 2022 Author #490 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Day 6 Puerto Rico… Mardi Gras is in town… I heard that Carnival is suspending Cucina (specialty dinning) and chefs table until at least 6/30 due to staffing shortages. They blame the Visa issues which is inline with what I have been told on Royal. Except on the Mardi Gras! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BennyBrun Posted May 17, 2022 Author #491 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Day 6 Puerto Rico I will always have a special place in my heart for the Mardi Gras… I think I heard Mike Peck the CD on the Mardi Gras making announcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
