SugarStar00 Posted February 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The search forum is down... I have a half used coffee card from a sailing 5 years ago, its the one that looks like a playing card with a dragon on it. Will they still honor the unused punches? Thanks!

If its the old King of Cups card. If you take it to the IC they should trade you for a new card. The new card is Cafe Selects and have a spot on the back for them to write the ship name and voyage number on. Sometimes they will leave it blank.

jmike Posted February 14, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I just got off the Sapphire Princess and they were excited to see my old playing card coffee card. The server said that it was one of the first cards issued. It was excepted and punched without any problems. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenswing Posted February 14, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 14, 2014 My wife still has a card from a 2007 cruise.. No problem using it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugarStar00 Posted February 14, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Awesome, glad I kept it all this time. I think it's an ace card if I remember correctly Edited February 14, 2014 by SugarStar00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JustinPlusLauren Posted February 14, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I think it is great you can use it from cruise to cruise if you don't use all of the punches! I used my old coffee card on this past cruise and then bought a new one, where I only used half of the punches. Looking forward to more yummy coffee drinks on my next cruise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elainemh Posted February 14, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I also have a old card. Mine is the Jack of Java, with one punch. Glad to hear it may still be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55J5-5 Posted February 14, 2014 #10 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Pulled my old jack playing card out and the bar tenders loved seeing it but yes they honored it without a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drews_Cruise Posted February 14, 2014 #11 Share Posted February 14, 2014 This was a great reminder. I almost forgot we have two old ACE cards that are only half stamped. We will use those first before starting the new ones I just ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtogo Posted February 14, 2014 #12 Share Posted February 14, 2014 On the a Royal Princess, we used two leftover coffee cards, the playing card version, in November. We encountered no problems, and the barista seemed surprised to see that we had not one, but two of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredNTraveling Posted February 14, 2014 #13 Share Posted February 14, 2014 ....perk of the PCL. ;) So glad that they use this little perk to keep us happy and sailing with them. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IECalCruiser Posted February 14, 2014 #14 Share Posted February 14, 2014 You can use the old card's punches but they can't be used to get complementary fresh brewed coffee at the IC anymore. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritzG Posted February 14, 2014 #15 Share Posted February 14, 2014 DH just finished using his with the old playing card design from Jan. 2008. The staff was very interested to see it because they had never seen on that old. As others have noted, the punches were still good for specialty drinks.

tere247 Posted February 14, 2014 #16 Share Posted February 14, 2014 If its the old King of Cups card.If you take it to the IC they should trade you for a new card. The new card is Cafe Selects and have a spot on the back for them to write the ship name and voyage number on. Sometimes they will leave it blank. I have an old King of Cups card with 6 punches left. Why would they trade it for a new card? What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted February 14, 2014 #17 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I have an old King of Cups card with 6 punches left. Why would they trade it for a new card? What am I missing? When I used ours on the Emerald last year they made us trade it for a new one. The new one had the ship and voyage number written on the back. From the way it sound with other poster experience you are not missing anything and that you won't miss a beat using your old card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waltd Posted February 14, 2014 #19 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I have an old King of Cups card with 6 punches left. Why would they trade it for a new card? What am I missing? I have heard that in some cases if you have an old card and it has not been punched they will ask if you want to trade it for a new card. The one benefit would be that you could use the new card for free regular coffee vs. with the old card they normally would not give you the free coffee but would use a punch.

My last cruise with princess was in 2010...so I guess that makes the card 4 years old, this is our 5th cruise so I guess got confused. Not sure where you see 2 years though. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg51 Posted June 20, 2014 #25 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Thanks, everybody! We LOVED reading this thread and finding out that, when on the Crown later this year, we will be able to use our half-punched "ACE OF LATTE" dragon card, purchased on the Emerald in 2011.
