Kate P.C Posted May 23, 2019 #5 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Yes. We didn't used up the whole card but there was a date on it. So it wasn't going to be good for our next voyage. You were lucky 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonit964 Posted May 23, 2019 #6 Share Posted May 23, 2019 They will punch the card for brewed coffee though, so you might as well get a specialty one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kywildcatfanone Posted May 23, 2019 #7 Share Posted May 23, 2019 You can use them till the end of August, then you could try to use them on future cruises if you still have any left. Not sure the bartender would really turn you down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the bartender would really turn you down. It will be interesting come September when the next cruising season begins if posters report here being able to use up leftover punches on fall cruises. Perhaps it will be an unofficial thing. Who knows? Only time will tell. (We will use what we can in June and then give the rest of the punches away to someone on our ship that is doing another summer cruise).

Rare geoherb Posted May 23, 2019 #10 Share Posted May 23, 2019 If I take a cruise next month, I'll be bringing along my soon-to-expire coffee cards. I'll use the punches for the specialty teas since I don't drink coffee (and DH will be staying home) or share them with tablemates and others. I'll make sure every punch gets used even if I have to wait beside the register offering to buy people specialty coffees the last day of the cruise.

DRS/NC Posted May 24, 2019 #11 Share Posted May 24, 2019 My Aug. cruise ends Sept. 4. Wonder if my card will "expire" 8/31 or 9/4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kywildcatfanone Posted May 24, 2019 #12 Share Posted May 24, 2019 My guess would be if the date is within the week of your cruise, you will still be able to use it for the balance of your cruise, especially if you use it earlier in the same cruise. I really don't think the bar servers are going to turn you away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pjran Posted May 24, 2019 Author #13 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Thanks for all your replies. Just like to add that none of cards have a date or ship details on the back of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes no difference come August 31. With or without a date and with or without the ship name, the paper coffee card will no longer be honored on cruises starting after that date..

BuckeyeMark Posted May 25, 2019 #15 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Just got off the CB this morning. Had a card from a friend that was completely unused. They accepted it without question. Didn't mark an expiration date on it because they all expire August 31. They made a punch for everything I got because they knew they hadn't sold me that card so it fell under the non-transferable rule. So brewed coffee, lattes, my wife's cold chai tea latte - punch. But they did take the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare oskidunker Posted May 25, 2019 #16 Share Posted May 25, 2019 My experience is that sometimes they punch the card for a cup of coffee,sometimes they don’t. That means some kind of coffee drink every day for 14 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WB57 Posted May 27, 2019 #17 Share Posted May 27, 2019 My old card has a 'Voyage Date' on it. It is handwritten and it simply says '713' (there is also a handwritten 'Ship - Regal' on it as well. I will be going on CB in August 2019). And I don't even remember what '713' number/date refers to. Will this card work? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they’ll give you a drip coffee or tea... maybe or, more likely, not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
