gracebest Posted March 1, 2016 #151 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) Do you know if all of those on the menu are available with a punch on the card? Or is it just the ones in the top section? I had the large orange green coffee drink last month on the Crown for one punch. Edited March 1, 2016 by gracebest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soprano Posted March 24, 2016 #155 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Since we only drink the brewed coffee, we have several non-punched coffee cards, but with voyage dates on them from previous cruises. (It seemed worth it to us, because we have 5-6 cups a day, and share a pot of tea or two in the evening). Can we bring these on our upcoming cruise and use the punches for regular brewed coffee or tea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing on a star Posted March 24, 2016 #157 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) I have a more specific question about coffee and the coffee-cards. Does it look, from the new cards, that Princess is changing their coffee/grounds supplier? I have heard conflicting reports of coffee from the IC on the Coral Princess. I am hoping that this is a fluke, post drydock, or a transitional thing. We already have our coffee card, and are looking forward to decent coffee and nice specialty coffee drinks onboard the Coral!

Princess is promoting their "New Grounds Crafted Coffee" premium coffee program. They're using Caffé Boasi coffee beans from Genoa, Italy and have "partnered with the American Barista & Coffee school in Portland, Oregon to ensure baristas on board are specially trained to provide a premium coffee experience".

Astro Flyer Posted March 24, 2016 #160 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Is this program already taking place? The photo of the menu Colo Cruiser shared shown in post #145 appears to be an example of the new coffee menu. That wasn't available on the Crown in October but recent posts say it's on ships but I don't know if it's fleetwide yet. Photos I've seen posted of the new look to coffee cards appear to be part of this new program. The info I posted was from the August 2015 Captain's Circle Magazine so it's been planned since at least that date. In a couple of weeks I'll know if it's been added to the Crown. ;) Edited March 24, 2016 by Astro Flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamima Posted March 24, 2016 #161 Share Posted March 24, 2016 They still honour the old cards, even the old old cards, but you do get a punch for brewed coffee or specialty tea if you did not buy the card on the current voyage. I still have 2 UNUSED old playing card type coffee cards. They're in the same little card case I keep my current coffee card in. On our last cruise the barista caught site of the old ones and told me I should sell them as antiques! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

land lover Posted March 25, 2016 #172 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Thanks for the coffee menu update. Were the always available dining room options the normal ones such as salmon or the new Curtis Stone options? Still the old menu....as of March 5th, when we left. We had anytime dining and on the last formal night and in formal attire decided to check out Horizon Court. I was certainly glad we did as they had frog legs and oysters. This cruise we checked out the Court before going to the MDR several times and they had some unique selections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the ultimate drink package so got one everyday...DH had the Coffee Card, so do not know if they punch the card or not. In other words on the first sailing the card is used they might view it as brewed coffee. I swear I remember discussing this with a barista, but don't know for sure.
