Bookmark Bestseller card on Bolette

[Chanbre]

What does the "Bookmark Bestseller card" actually provide. The description on the Fred Olsen website says it "includes 7 hot drinks for you to enjoy, as well as a bag of milk or mixed truffles" which is somewhat short of detail. What drinks are included? Is it any from the Bookmark Cafe menu? Do people find the card good value?

As far as I know it is the hot drinks from the bookmark cafe, but not sure of details of those. 

 

What I am sure.of though is that you cannot use the card for hot drinks in other bars or outside decks, (e.g. if you want to sit in the Observatory after dinner and enjoy a hot drink that is available there).  That has made the card useless from our point of view as we find the Bookmark cafe an uninspiring environment to sit in the evening, partly due to the lack of musicians.  As to whether the card is worthwhile for you, I suggest you would need to decide that on the ship when you see the Bookmark cafe menu and the environment in there.  You can buy the cards from the cafe then, if you wish to do so.  The cafe is used far more in the daytime, from my observations.
