And there was me anticipating a break from Coffee Shops



Truth be told, I would have withdrawal symptoms if deprived of both real and virtual coffee!

I note in Honduras a straightforward product offering with a clearly limited range on offer and not confused by a huge number of alternatives, and a couple of staff members who's presence and availability encouraged the uptake of their product by new customers.   Coffee Shops in our neck of the woods could take a tip or two.  Having said which, pleased with the Starbucks at Bath Spa station or our way out; a little busy, but really helpful staff in checking for allergins for me in their edible products, and serving with a smile.

Me too. Don't like to be too far away from coffee.
Think it's 'free' in certain areas on the Ventura? Hopefully

Waterside buffet (ironically, on deck 15 which is far above the water).
