Drink Card/ Coffee Card Prices

[Justprettynpink]

We loved Princess so much that we are going in 2015. Have there been any price increases with the drink stickers or coffee card recently?

 

I was wondering if I should pre-purchase now before any price increases....

You say you're sailing in 2015 so a lot can change by then. Who knows what prices will be then.

The coffee card was $33.35, including tip, last month.

For whatever weird reason the card is only $31 if you pre-order it.

 

 

You can't do it online but you can call Princess and order it by item number. It's on the Princess Cellars menu.

do you pay tax if you pre order these packages?

Thank you for your replies....

 

 

How long have the coffee cards been the $31-33 dollar range?

Just dropped over 280 dollars pre ordering stuff prior to our Apr 1 cruise. I have never been charged tax on any pre purchase and I make them every cruise. I bought a couple bottles of wine, a coffee card, and yes it was $31 and the wife a soda and more card, $8.05/day gratuity included for the 28 day trip.

 

The ship works in US currency so I had expected the actual bill to be over $300 Cdn dollars as we have taken a healthy hit against the recovering US dollar over the last few months. Much to my delight it was billed through Princess Vancouver Canada and in Cdn dollars. That saved me almost 10% of what I had expected to pay. Had I waited to buy it on the ship the bill would have been in US dollars

You can't order it online. Check the posts above for the link to see what is offered or simply call Princess and order it. One of the posts above even gives the item number.

 

Enjoy your cruise and your coffee card. :)

Go to Princess dot com, Learn about Cruising, Gifts and Services to see the order form. You can call, fax or mail it back.

 

But where do I see if they have my requests?

I don't believe they show on the personalizer.

You may have to have them email you a confirmation and print that out and take it with you.

One of the advantages to buying the coffee card on the ship is that you can buy a really great stainless steel coffee mug for an extra five dollars.

We were able to buy the mug when we boarded even though we pre-ordered the coffee card. :-)

Haven't cruised in 6 years. Looking at the all inclusive bar package, how does that compare to buying beer and wine individually? What does the ship charge for an average beer or a decent class of wine? Is it worth $56 per day? Is it worth it to be able to get 40% off of wine at dinner?

Maybe you could consider that there are some Elite CC members who are very frequent cruisers and have surplus unmarked coffee cards as they swap their complimentary minibars for 2 of them.

I have seen these change hands for $20 or $25 a time which is a worthwhile saving.

 

I have an embarrassingly large number unused of them myself as I don't drink the minibar and as a diabetic I can't have most of the coffees either as they are loaded with sugars.
