Hello, I've been doing some research,and it sounds like the La Patisserie take the place of the International Cafe... But I have also read that it doesn't have pastries and sandwiches etc.

We always get the coffee cards as we love the specialty coffees in the International Café on Princess ships. I’ve searched the deck plans and don’t see one on the Island! Is there a specialty coffee shop onboard where cards would be needed? Thanks and so happy you had a good voyage!!
