voyager-sue Posted January 18, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2011 We're trying to figure if the bev card is a good deal. How much is a latte at the internet cafe? Can you get club soda on the soda card? Any info will be welcome. thanks. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemima Posted January 19, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 19, 2011 The soda card is the best deal for sodas if you will drink that many. The sodas are 50% of the usual price with the soda card. The beverage card is good if (1) you are under a 3 star and will drink that much in special coffees and alcoholic drinks or (2) you are a 3 or 4 star and will drink that much in alcoholic drinks. Three and four stars get a discount on drinks at the Exploration Cafe (lattes etc.), but do not get the discount if they use the beverage card.

lvz2cruz Posted January 19, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 19, 2011 The prices were much less than Starbucks. There were 2 sizes and prices started under $2 and I don't remember anything over $4. I am not a coffee drinker, so I cannot remember what lattes ran. I was just checking to tell my daughter, and that is not what she drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathy_bc Posted January 19, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 19, 2011 i had a small iced cafe mocha and it was $2.70. I think the large was something like $3.50. Very reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glutenhab Posted January 19, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I like an espresso after my evening meal in the MDR. Would I have to pay then? RCL dd this for me every evening & no charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathy_bc Posted January 19, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I saved the dining room menus (we were in a deluxe suite and they were delivered daily). I never have coffee after dinner, so I don't know for sure. But the menu says under Beverages: coffee, decaffeinated coffee, espresso, cappuccino, assorted teas, decaffeinated tea, iced tea, or milk. So I would say no charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I order cappuccino in the MDR after dinner, so imagine espresso would be the same.. Cheers...:)Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's what you mean, it's not true. The only discounts for 3/4 stars on alcohol are on the Admiral and Navigator wine packages and alcohol purchased from the room mini-bar.

I wrote "The beverage card is good if (1) you are under a 3 star and will drink that much in special coffees and alcoholic drinks or (2) you are a 3 or 4 star and will drink that much in alcoholic drinks. Three and four stars get a discount on drinks at the Exploration Cafe (lattes etc.), but do not get the discount if they use the beverage card. " 1 and 2 stars don't get discounts, so can benefit from the beverage card if they'll drink that much in special coffees or alcoholic beverages. 3 and 4 stars do get Exploration Cafe discounts, but won't get those discounts if they purchase with the beverage card. 3 and 4 stars only benefit from the beverage card if they use it for alcoholic drinks or sodas. (For new HAL people, Explorations Cafe serves special coffees and teas.) Example: I'm 3 star, purchase sodas and lattes and might have one or two alcholic drinks on a cruise. I get a soda card. I don't get a beverage card because the lattes would actually cost me more using the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
