New (at least to me) Coffee Menu

[flourpot]

I'm currently sitting in the Piazza of the Grand with my soy hot chocolate and was reading the coffee menu. It has changed and is new (at least since I last cruised in March) and I thought I'd post it here. There are new options for us non coffee drinkers such as chai tea and cold tea fusions. I really like the cranberry pomegranate tea. Here's a picture of the new menu. :-)

I noticed that the Coffee Card is listed for $29 + 15% = $33.35. On the web site the pre-cruise price is shown as $35.65 including the 15%.

Thanks for the new menu which appears to be their "New Grounds Crafted Coffee" menu. Not sure if prices also increased like they did for the coffee card but nice to see some new options. :)

Yes its excellent. Someone also just posted it on the Beverage Eval thread as well.

 

Yum, I drank a few of those Green Leaf Apple Orchard teas. :)

Can you use the Coffee Card for any of the drinks on the menu??

That Silk Road Chai Tea done as ice blended is GOOD!! Loved having so many options. The Mighty Leaf chocolate orange truffle tea they serve in a little tea pot was excellent. :)

The coffee card & menu are both "Café Selects" & should be valid for any item just like previously.

Thanks for sharing the new menu, we already have our coffee cards in waiting.:D

I guess I'm another one that's confused about the coffee card price because your picture shows $29 and on the Princess website it's $42 and I believe that includes the gratuities but it still doesn't work out to be $42.

Have not heard of the $42 price. :confused:

Just came off of the Crown this morning. I paid $33.35 onboard but I also purchased the coffee card while out at sea. Not sure if they add on sales tax on top of the 15% while in port or online. That could be where the difference is. Btw my fav was the Banoffee Blast frozen drink ;)

The Tea Infusions are all one punch on a coffee card. Or once in a while, not. Anyway, my sister loves the Minty Apple, and I like the Citrus Fruit Spiced Tea, which also has peach in it. Both are really tasty.

 

Its not all that new, though, we've had these for at least a year, maybe more.

Just checked my Cruise Personalizer for my late March cruise & the price including gratuity ($31 + $4.65 tip) is:

 

Premium Coffee Card

$35.65 per punch card (15 beverages)

$36.00 AUD

 

It's the same price in the gifts section of their website.

Thats 2 price increases in 6 months. :(

Plus the balcony breakfast increasing from $32 to $45 and "testing" requiring prepayment for shore excursions on the Grand this summer in Alaska. All while profits dramatically increase due to lower fuel cost & higher cruise fares.

 

Guess they're trying to price out many of their loyal customers. :rolleyes:

Thanks for posting the new menu! Looks like some interesting options.

[vickie_bernie]

the $42 is probably in Canadian

 

We used our card to get many of the infused blended teas while on board. Loved the cranberry pomegranate yummy.

 

Oh and it taste even better with one of the vodkas from the mini bar - just saying

[Astro Flyer]

That's probably the reason why but then Canadians are paying $6 more than Australians. Currently AUD & CAD exchange rates to the USD are within a penny of each other and it's $36 AUD and $42 CAD.

At present there is a newer menu. One of the waitresses informed us that in January, there will be employees coming to take the orders and a second person bringing the orders. Seems they are changing things up.

 

Don't know what else they will be changing. I just always have a sense things will cost us more for no real reason.

[KiwiFunCruiser]

We paid $40 NZD for each card as NZD is lower than AUD.

Flourpot, thanks so much for posting this! We will be on the Grand in June and I am excited to check out the new coffee menu. Can't wait to try a bunch of them.

They were doing that onboard Caribbean Princess during our May transatlantic in 2015. It was nice to get coffee/tea service at any table in the atrium.

I'm looking forward to trying some of those new tea drinks! Nice to see them finally making something for tea drinkers.

Thank you for posting. My only problem is, where do I start? :cool:

Tried some of the new green coffee extract infusions on the Emerald Princess transatlantic in Ocober. Yummy!
