Dear bobalink,

 

Thank you.

 

As we all wish they Grandfathered our older now cards we purchased.

 

The Bean Counters win again..:mad::mad:

Bean Counters - nice pun!

 

The older coffee cards are mostly grandfathered. You can still use them for specialty coffees, just not for brewed coffee.

 

I successfully used an older card for brewed coffees in this manner. I had a completely unused one from a previous BOGO offer. I asked the barista to trade it out for a new one which he did. Voila! A card which can now be used for brewed coffee too.

I see they didn't date or put voyage number down on your card.

That was a mistake!!!

The barista that sold me my card did put the ship name on the back.

My daughter purchased her card at a different time and they did not fill out the back.:)

I wonder what happened to hot chocolate? It was listed on our card in February.

Thank you! You answered a question I've had since I heard about the new coffee cards. I too have a totally unused coffee card from a BOGO offer. I know know to ask for an exchange for a new card.

Yes, they will. But just remember that fresh brewed will also get a punch, the same as specialty.

Depends on the barista. Some are in a hurry; some just don't bother and know exactly what they're doing.

They will be honored. If the barista rejects them due to ignorance of the rules, contact the beverage manager.

Try what beg3yrs did.:)

Thanks for the images. Mine looks different and does not say anything about being good only on the voyage of purchase for complimentary coffee and tea

I still have a King of Cups card from 2009 that I will be using up this fall. They had the BOGO Coffee Card that Cruise. My partner used his up, but now I have some left :rolleyes:

New cards have the ship and voyage number on back and are only applicable on the voyage.

An unused one, if you wish, can be exchanged for a new one. Otherwise, whatever you buy will be punched, including fresh brewed and hot chocolate.

Not all the time. Sometimes they don't fill in the spaces.

Just got off of the Ruby, I showed gave the barista my card to punch for hot chocolate and they waved it off. No punches required for it. YAY!!

Hot chocolate has never required a punch.

Just trying to clarify this post, that states the card will be punched for hot chocolate. My post states that it did not get punched.

Like you said.....

No punch for hot chocolate.

I was responding to the person who still had one of the old cards and that one gets punched for brewed as well as hot chocolate.

Hot chocolate required a punch on our AK cruise in 2008. That was the reason we bought the card in the first place. They were charging for hot chocolate, so we bought a card.

The more accurate phrasing is that with the old card "hot chocolate should not have required a punch."

 

We found (before cards were changed to the new type) that on some ships they gave unlimited hot chocolate with the card and on some ships they required a punch each time.

 

On one of the ships that required the punch, we asked at multiple locations and also a supervisor and were told each time a punch was required.
