Ahoy Marian and welcome to planDisney! As a father of two very active toddlers, I understand the need for that caffeine boost at all times of the day. Luckily,
Disney Cruise Line is at your service with a selection of complimentary coffee and some specialty coffees available for purchase.
Cove Café and the other locations onboard Disney cruise ships offer a variety of specialty coffees, currently ranging in price from $6 to $10. Don’t forget that an 18% gratuity is applied to these types of purchases, and any specialty coffees with alcohol may cost a little bit extra. Note that Cove Café is an adults-only lounge that converts to a cocktail lounge in the evening. Here’s a bonus tip! Cove Café also serves complimentary light refreshments (think sandwiches and pastry items) that go perfectly with that cup of joe. Some of the newer ships have additional cafés that serve specialty coffee (and that also allow children to enter), so I suggest exploring the
interactive deck plans for the ships you're interested in to find those locations.
What also makes these specialty coffees extra special is the touch of Disney magic Cast Members provide when making these beverages. Specifically, Cast Members can customize your latte with an edible print art of select Disney characters of your choice!
Marian, here’s another bonus tip! If you plan to purchase multiple specialty coffees over the course of your sailing, Cove Café and some of the other locations that serve specialty coffees offer a Café Fanatic punch card. After purchasing five specialty coffees, you’ll get the next one free!
I hope this information is helpful for you as you begin to plan out your next Disney cruise! If you have any additional questions, please feel free
to contact me or my fellow panelists here at planDisney!
Your pal,
Sean
