Royal Caribbean perking up new amenity
Something is brewing at Royal Caribbean: it’s starting to offer Starbucks in what the cruise line calls a “first.
Says a Royal Caribbean press release:
“Trained baristas will offer signature and seasonal beverages and food, as well as the complete line of Starbucks VIA® Ready Brew products, between 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily, based on a la carte pricing. In addition to the Starbucks store, Seattle’s Best Coffee®, a featured brand in the Starbucks portfolio and a Foodservice provider to Royal Caribbean for the past 10 years, will be served throughout the cruise ship, including in the Adagio main dining room, conference rooms and the ship’s signature specialty restaurants.”
Said Royal’s Lisa Bauer:
“Opening the first ever Starbucks at sea is another example of how Royal Caribbean is delivering distinctive beverage and dining options to our guests and exceeding their expectations. We are offering something that no other cruise brand can."
Royal’s Allure of the Seas along with Oasis of the Seas shares the title of the world’s largest cruise ship. Allure’s neighborhoods are divided into seven distinct themed areas, spanning 16 decks, and carrying 5,400 passengers.
Starbucks Coffee Company has been around since 1971.
