Where to Get Coffee on a Royal Caribbean Cruise

Where to Get Coffee on a Royal Caribbean Cruise

Coffee lovers have lots of options while sailing with Royal Caribbean. Here’s everywhere you can find coffee on a Royal Caribbean cruise.

Whether you prefer an iced caramel macchiato or a good old-fashioned cup of joe, every Royal Caribbean ship has several coffee options for you.

There’s always plenty of free coffee available on RCI, but some onboard venues serve premium coffee drinks for an additional charge.

I’ll explain where you can find the free stuff, as well as what premium coffee shops and cafés are available on Royal Caribbean ships.

Free coffee venues on Royal Caribbean ships

Can’t function without a cup of coffee (or three) in the morning? I hear you! Hot brewed coffee is free on all Royal Caribbean ships, and you can get your caffeine fix—or decaf—at various venues on your cruise. Or have it delivered to your cabin free of charge!

You can order a carafe (or two!) of coffee along with your room service breakfast on Royal Caribbean cruises

Here’s where you can find complimentary hot brewed coffee on RCI cruises:

  • All main dining rooms
  • Windjammer Buffet
  • Room service (free for breakfast, 6AM to 11 AM daily)
  • Lavazza espresso coffee machines (in-suite for Junior Suites and above)
  • Select premium coffee venues

Coffee lovers tip: Do you use dairy-free milk in your coffee? All Royal Caribbean ships carry a non-dairy option, even if it’s not on the menu (or you don’t see it at a self-serve coffee station). Just ask a crew member, or write it in on your room service breakfast hangtag.

Specialty coffee venues on Royal Caribbean

All Royal Caribbean ships feature at least one for-a-fee premium coffee venue, and many have two or three!

If you’re looking for an espresso-based coffee drink, Royal Caribbean offers a total of seven specialty coffee shop concepts across its fleet.

These specialty coffee venues all charge extra for premium drinks, although some offer hot brewed coffee for free.

Coffee lovers tip: Want to save money on your coffee drinks? Royal Caribbean offers a discounted Coffee Card that entitles you to 15 (non-alcoholic) premium coffees at most coffee venues on your cruise.

Starbucks

Is a daily Starbs run part of your morning routine? You’ll be glad to hear that most of the newer Royal Caribbean ships (and almost a third of the entire fleet) now have a Starbucks on board.

Some ships have a walk-in Starbucks store, while others only offer a smaller kiosk. But all Royal Caribbean Starbucks locations are staffed with Starbucks-trained baristas and are stocked with many of the same products you’ll find in locations on land.

The Starbucks kiosk aboard Allure of the Seas

Starbucks-branded venues are available on eight Royal Caribbean ships:

  • Allure of the Seas (deck 5 across from Boleros)
  • Harmony of the Seas (deck 6 across from the carousel)
  • Mariner of the Seas (deck 4 across from Boleros)
  • Navigator of the Seas (deck 4 across from Boleros)
  • Oasis of the Seas (deck 5 across from Boleros)
  • Odyssey of the Seas (deck 4 across from Café Promenade)
  • Symphony of the Seas (deck 5 across from Boleros)
  • Wonder of the Seas (deck 5 across from Boleros)

Coffee lovers tip: Although Royal Caribbean’s Coffee Card and two of their drink packages (Refreshment Package and Deluxe Beverage Package) cover the cost of your specialty coffees, these can’t be used at any Starbucks location.

Café Promenade

If you’re cruising on Royal Caribbean, odds are your ship will have a Café Promenade. This busy coffee bar can be found on seventeen of the cruise line’s twenty-six ships!

Café Promenade on Mariner of the Seas

With a specialty coffee menu including hot, iced, and frozen espresso drinks, you’ll have plenty of options to satisfy your coffee craving.

My favorite thing about Café Promenade? It’s open 24 hours a day, perfect for early risers looking for their first coffee of the day.

Here’s where you can find Café Promenade on Royal Caribbean:

  • Adventure of the Seas (deck 5 across from the Fashion Boutique)
  • Allure of the Seas (deck 5 next to Guest Services)
  • Anthem of the Seas (deck 4 across from The Shop)
  • Explorer of the Seas (deck 5 next to the Ice Cream Parlor)

Café Latte-tudes

Park Cafe

If you’re in the mood for a specialty coffee (or you want a hot brewed coffee without having to brave the hustle-and-bustle of the Windjammer buffet) consider grabbing one from Park Cafe. This deli-style casual dining venue serves up all your favorite hot and iced espresso drinks.

Park Cafe onboard Harmony of the Seas

Park Cafe is aptly named for its location in the Central Park neighborhood on all Oasis-class ships. But on some Royal Caribbean vessels, Park Cafe is in the Solarium or on the pool deck!

You can find Park Cafe on the following RCI ships:

  • Brilliance of the Seas (deck 11 between the pools)
  • Enchantment of the Seas (deck 9 aft before the Fitness Center)
  • Grandeur of the Seas (deck 9 in the Solarium)
  • Harmony of the Seas (deck 8 next to Hublot)
  • Oasis of the Seas (deck 8 next to Central Park Library)

  • Symphony of the Seas (deck 8 across Central Park from Jamie’s Italian)
  • Vision of the Seas (deck 9 in the Solarium)
  • Wonder of the Seas (deck 8 across Central Park from Jamie’s Italian)

La Patisserie

Serving everything from basic drip coffee to decadent specialty drinks (how does a hazelnut mocha topped with raspberry foam and white chocolate shavings sound?), La Patisserie is the place to go for a caffeinated pick-me-up.

La Patisserie on Anthem of the Seas

Located on deck 4 on most Quantum-class ships, this French-inspired café and pastry shop offers lots of sweet treats, including the option to add a shot of chocolate liqueur to any coffee!

La Patisserie is available on the following ships:

  • Anthem of the Seas (deck 4 next to Boleros)
  • Ovation of the Seas (deck 4 next to Port Merchants)
  • Quantum of the Seas (deck 4 next to Boleros)
  • Spectrum of the Seas (deck 4 across the Royal Esplanade from Sichuan Red)

Café @ Two70

All five of Royal Caribbean’s Quantum-class ships feature a Café @ Two70, located adjacent to its namesake Two70 theater on deck 5.

Café @ Two70 onboard Anthem of the Seas

With a menu similar to the Park Cafe on other RCI cruise ships, Café @ Two70 serves up hot espresso drinks, including lattes and cappuccino, as well as iced and frozen coffee drinks.

The cafe also offers a selection of spirited coffees, including Irish Coffee, Icy Bourbon Mint Mocha, and Royal Caribbean’s signature “Royal Delight” with Grand Marnier and Bailey’s.

Café @ Two70 is available on the following ships:

  • Anthem of the Seas (deck 5 aft)
  • Odyssey of the Seas (deck 5 aft)
  • Ovation of the Seas (deck 5 aft)
  • Quantum of the Seas (deck 5 aft)
  • Spectrum of the Seas (deck 5 aft)

Leaf & Bean

A unique concept for Royal Caribbean (and only available on the Asia-based Spectrum of the Seas), Leaf & Bean serves classic hot and cold coffee drinks along with traditional tea, bubble tea, and more unusual offerings (like Cheese Tea!)

The coffee and tea house Leaf & Bean is only available on the Asia-based ship Spectrum of the Seas

You can find Leaf & Bean on Spectrum of the Seas deck 5 midship, in the center of the Royal Esplanade between Sichuan Red and the retail shops.
