AAAAmerican Posted September 13, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Dear bobalink, Thank you. As we all wish they Grandfathered our older now cards we purchased. The Bean Counters win again..:mad::mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beg3yrs Posted September 13, 2012 #3 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Bean Counters - nice pun! The older coffee cards are mostly grandfathered. You can still use them for specialty coffees, just not for brewed coffee. I successfully used an older card for brewed coffees in this manner. I had a completely unused one from a previous BOGO offer. I asked the barista to trade it out for a new one which he did. Voila! A card which can now be used for brewed coffee too.

vickie_bernie Posted September 13, 2012 #4 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I see they didn't date or put voyage number down on your card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobalink Posted September 13, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I see they didn't date or put voyage number down on your card. That was a mistake!!! The barista that sold me my card did put the ship name on the back. My daughter purchased her card at a different time and they did not fill out the back.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILVTX Posted September 13, 2012 #7 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I wonder what happened to hot chocolate? It was listed on our card in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You answered a question I've had since I heard about the new coffee cards. I too have a totally unused coffee card from a BOGO offer. I know know to ask for an exchange for a new card.

I hope they will be honored. ~Doris~ Yes, they will. But just remember that fresh brewed will also get a punch, the same as specialty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunneesmile Posted March 25, 2013 #15 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Thanks for the images.

Otherwise, whatever you buy will be punched, including fresh brewed and hot chocolate. New cards have the ship and voyage number on back and are only applicable on the voyage. Not all the time. Sometimes they don't fill in the spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to clarify this post, that states the card will be punched for hot chocolate. My post states that it did not get punched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunneesmile Posted March 26, 2013 #24 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hot chocolate required a punch on our AK cruise in 2008. That was the reason we bought the card in the first place. They were charging for hot chocolate, so we bought a card. Hot chocolate has never required a punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted March 26, 2013 #25 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hot chocolate has never required a punch. Hot chocolate required a punch on our AK cruise in 2008. That was the reason we bought the card in the first place. They were charging for hot chocolate, so we bought a card. The more accurate phrasing is that with the old card "hot chocolate should not have required a punch." We found (before cards were changed to the new type) that on some ships they gave unlimited hot chocolate with the card and on some ships they required a punch each time. On one of the ships that required the punch, we asked at multiple locations and also a supervisor and were told each time a punch was required.
