silvercruiser Posted January 21, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Is there any other place besides the IC on the Royal where the coffee card can be used? I seem to remember a mention of someplace up near Horizon Cafe that offered specialty coffee and brewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember a mention of someplace up near Horizon Cafe that offered specialty coffee and brewed. There were lattes etc available inside the horizon court at one of the stations (sorry, hard to describe where). You can also use the coffee card for gelato.

caribill Posted January 21, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The punches can be used in the dining rooms to get specialty coffees. The card cannot be used in the dining rooms for fresh brewed coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmwnc1959 Posted January 22, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Besides the previously mentioned International Cafe and the Princess Live! Cafe, in the Pastry Shop there is also a station for specialty coffees. And if you have a sweet tooth, don't forget that your Cafe Selects card can be used at Gelato for scoops, waffle cones, splits, sundaes, and alcoholic sundaes. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish that I had known the above information. I wish that we had been informed of it when we bought the card! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish that I had known the above information. I wish that we had been informed of it when we bought the card! I only knew because of Cruise Critic, and those that sailed Royal Princess before me. No worries, your Cafe Selects card is good 'forever', except for the fresh brewed option. Use it on your next Princess cruise. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvercruiser Posted January 22, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thanks. Since this is only a 7-day cruise I wanted to know all the places I can use the coffee card on the Royal. My next 76 days of booked cruises for 2014 are all on HAL, so it may be awhile before I could use up any unused punches on the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichBNY Posted May 19, 2014 #9 Share Posted May 19, 2014 The punches can be used in the dining rooms to get specialty coffees. The card cannot be used in the dining rooms for fresh brewed coffee. That's true unless you have a real good Assistant Waiter on the Royal who runs out with an empty coffee pot and comes back with a pot of fresh brewed coffee! Not too difficult as the Cafe was right outside the dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fofalola Posted August 8, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Can anyone tell me if sharing a coffee card is 'bad form'? We're a couple and 15 punches on a 7 day cruise would be more than sufficient. Can you order 2 mugs of fresh brew coffee showing one card without being frowned upon?

It is ok to share the coffee card using the punches but only one person can use the card for complimentary drinks for the duration of the cruise .

GweninTX Posted January 12, 2016 #17 Share Posted January 12, 2016 On our Royal cruise I did not use my coffee card as much as on other ships. The Royal has fresh brewed coffee in the dining rooms and the Horizon court too! It was great! I only used punches for an occasional latte and we did go by Scoops one night and indulged in their heavenly sundaes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted January 12, 2016 #18 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Since all the coffee I've seen being made on the Royal & Regal comes from grinds what do people think the coffee comes from in the DR? I seriously doubt they make liquid coffee for the DR only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpcountryTravelers Posted January 13, 2016 #19 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Depends on the ship. Not sure why that matters??? :confused: It matters because some ships the statement is true, others it is not. Sometimes you can use the card, on other ships you may not. Why would that not matter?

dr__dawggy Posted January 13, 2016 #20 Share Posted January 13, 2016 It matters because some ships the statement is true, others it is not. Sometimes you can use the card, on other ships you may not. Why would that not matter?d It also varies from individual barista to barista. Some look at the flip side of the card to check when you purchased the card, others don't. Policies are what any given employee determines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooguy Posted January 13, 2016 #21 Share Posted January 13, 2016 That's what I've found also. Some baristas can be nasty when advising that where you did not purchase the punch card on this voyage, you cannot get brewed coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You can use the punches on your next cruise. You are not supposed to be able to use it for brewed coffee - however some folks have reported here that they've been able to.
