ctemkg Posted January 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hi. We are considering swapping our full suite mini bar for two coffee cards. What can the cards be used for? At what restaurants or venues can they be redeemed? All of them or only certain venues? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted January 16, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2014 A coffee card will get you 15 specialty coffees (latte, expresso, capachino, etc). In addition, as long as you have at least one punch left, you get unlimited brewed coffee and special teas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can these specialty coffees and brewed coffee be filled anywhere, like in any restaurant or MDR, or just at the coffee bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseywoozey Posted January 16, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 16, 2014 You can get the speciality coffee "the good gear" in at least international cafe, crooners bar (depending on ship) the main pool bar.. Usually calypso... And all of the dining rooms.. It can be used for any size espresso based drink so if you fancy a double or a triple shot go for it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timem Posted January 16, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 16, 2014 We just got off the crown. I was getting 2to 4 lattes every day many with 1 or 2 extra shots. They did not punch it half the time. I left the ship with 5 or 6 punches left Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted January 16, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Its a great value! Especially when you trade for it! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier-Cruiser Posted January 16, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Ok, I'm sold. Definately picking up a coffee card to go along with the soda package. I am assuming these are both sold in very conspicuous places once you board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner22aa Posted January 16, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 16, 2014 There will be lots of staff selling them throughout the ship. You can however pre buy them from Princess. Saves you a couple of bucks on the coffee card but not the soda package. You call 1-800-PRINCESS and its option 2 on the voice menu. You will get a service agent and they will help you out. All you need is your booking number and a credit card. Just did it for our Apr trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camelia- Posted January 16, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It's been a while since I purchased one! How much is it online? I'm still debating..... thanks, Camelia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IECalCruiser Posted January 16, 2014 #11 Share Posted January 16, 2014 A coffee card will get you 15 specialty coffees (latte, expresso, capachino, etc). In addition, as long as you have at least one punch left, you get unlimited brewed coffee and special teas.That was the "unwritten rule" with the old coffee cards. The back of the old cards stated "Congratulations on purchasing your Premium Coffee Card. Present this card when receiving your specialty coffee and your server will punch a hole into one of the crowns." The back of the new coffee card states " Present this card when receiving your specialty coffee and your server will punch a hole into the card. Unused specialty coffees redeemable on next voyage. Complimentary coffee and tea only applicable to voyage of purchase." There is no requirement to have an unused punch to get complimentary coffee and tea on the voyage of purchase.

momof3cruisers Posted January 17, 2014 #13 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Can the card be shared? For instance, one card for a husband and wife to use together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted January 17, 2014 #14 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Can the card be shared? For instance, one card for a husband and wife to use together? The punches can be shared with as many people as you like. The unlimited freshed brewed is intended for the person who purchased the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner22aa Posted January 17, 2014 #15 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Coffee card is $31 in advance and $33 on the ship. Some posters have said they were charged sales tax in I believe Flordia when they bought it on the ship prior to sailing. This has never been the case with an online purchase prior to sailing. What you see in the price list is what you pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollydog Posted January 17, 2014 #16 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Is the price the same, no matter how long the voyage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyfaceup Posted January 17, 2014 #17 Share Posted January 17, 2014 We love the coffee card and get it almost every cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted January 17, 2014 #18 Share Posted January 17, 2014 The coffee card was also good for complimentary hot chocolate in addition to the specialty teas at the coffee bar. That was a great benefit on our southbound cruise in Alaska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caribill Posted January 17, 2014 #20 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) Is the price the same, no matter how long the voyage? Yes, because the punches do not expire and you can use them on future cruises. The unlimited fresh brewed coffee is limited to the voyage you purchased the card for.

MtnBikerFallDown Posted January 18, 2014 #23 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Did I read somewhere that you can use the punches for gelato at the IC as well? Or did I just hope I could do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read you can do that on the Royal Princess at the Gelato specific shop. I don't think you can do it at the IC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
