MyTMo777 Posted September 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 9, 2022 The ship description for the Jewel says it has an Atrium Cafe, but there's also a Starbucks drink package available. Photos don't seem to show "Starbucks" across the top of the cafe, but a traveler on the ship referred to it as Starbucks in a post. Anyone know for sure what it is?

Rare YVRteacher Posted September 9, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 9, 2022 It’s a Starbucks. There used to be an atrium cafe which was also a bar. It has now been removed and a Starbucks has been installed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisical1 Posted September 9, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Can you use Starbucks cards on the ship? Thinking of buying some for my kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare YVRteacher Posted September 9, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 9, 2022 You are supposed to be able to use a Starbucks card or the app but on two recent cruises the only way they would let me pay was with my ship card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had read somewhere you can’t use gift card on most of the ships. Just recently on breakaway and was told you will let you use the app . That is true because I used it several times. So not sure about the gift cards. Just told the app is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaboozle Posted April 10 #9 Share Posted April 10 Just boarded the Jewel. On this ship, you cannot use the Starbucks app or the Starbucks gift cards. They will only let you charge the coffee to your room card. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shell gas station down the street from my house also “proudly served Starbucks products” but is not a Starbucks and does not take Starbucks gift cards.

Only the newer/bigger ones have full Starbucks where you can use gift cards and app. I'm guessing Epic and later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincerely, very picky coffee drinker And if I may ask, what is the price per coffee if you do not have the premium drink or the Starbucks package.

Rare laudergayle Posted April 10 #14 Share Posted April 10 @kaboozle How’s the drink selection at the Atrium Cafe? Do they do drinks like frappes? Things like chai latte? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asawi Posted April 10 #15 Share Posted April 10 (edited) I'm not into Starbucks myself. Not onboard, not on land. But I have been told that prices onboard are approximately the same as on land or maybe a little bit more with the 20% gratuity added. I have seen Chai Latte and I THINK Frappucinos on Atrium café menus on ships, but I haven't been on Jewel. Should be the same one would think. But I don't know. (And I'm not entirley sure of the Frappucinos. Maybe I remember wrongly) Edited April 10 by Asawi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted April 10 #16 Share Posted April 10 8 hours ago, nordicacres said: So if it’s not a real Starbucks, how is the coffee? Sincerely, very picky coffee drinker It is Starbucks brand coffee beans in an espresso machine. They make a range of drinks similar to Starbucks. It's been a while since we were on the Jewel, so I don't have a price for there. Last week, a "real" Starbucks on NCL was charging between $5.95 and $6.45 for grande-sized coffee drinks ($5.45 for a chai latte). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my coffee like I like my women...hot and straight. 🤪 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the Starbucks package then the charge to your room will be zero. The procedure is still the same. They scan your card and you sign the slip, it just says zero if you have the package. My experience is from using the premium plus beverage package but I’d be surprised if it is different for the Starbucks package. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare laudergayle Posted April 11 #23 Share Posted April 11 You’re helping me get even more excited about our cruise next month. We typically don’t do FAS+ but with doing an excursion in every port we decided to spend the extra this trip. So…Starbucks and Baileys will make this AK cruise even better. thanks @kaboozlefor posting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
