No, we don't. Carnival has recently "upgraded" their coffee and it is quite tasty. Royal Caribbean served Seattle's Finest on that cruise, so why pay for the fancy stuff. For the most part, cruise line coffee sucks. Can't see paying for the specialty stuff. but debbie you had to pay for seattles best didnt you?

here we are 241 days out... I must admit ....I am surprised how slowly this cruise is selling... It seems most the sky deck inside cabins are still available at $1200 per person i think that is a remarkable price for a holiday cruise....there are plenty of cc cabins and a couple of royal suites are also open...i just find it interesting and wonder why it's slow selling.. Could it be the economy?...hmmmmm

I do like sitting at the Cova on Celebrity and enjoying a pot of tea.... and just people watch....I remember how disapointed I was... on Royal Carribean they had no pots for the tea just a paper cup....thats just not the same...

Todays question: While on board....Do you buy the specialty Coffees/Teas?

Enjoy the second half!!
